Our church, St. Mark Presbyterian, has a wonderful rummage sale each year filling nine rooms including a gym and two areas that were once sanctuaries. We always get some wonderful items donated like the hall tree above with its original pan.
We have a lot of furniture, rugs, basekets. . .
Books of all kinds. . .
Including some car repair manuals.
Our gym is filled with clothes, shoes. . . .
Crafts, holiday items. . .
And baby and children's items.
The adjoining classrooms have toys, children's books, stuffed animals.
Fellowship Hall is filled with dishes, pots, knick-knacks, linens, silk flowers.
I mostly work in the boutique with jewelry. . .
Collectibles, fine decorating items. . . .
And, antiques like these lead and tin toys.
We even donated a few broken items which were polished and repaired. Dave said, "Hm, maybe we should buy them back!"

Between Two Worlds
Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.
This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
