One tradition that we have kept which started when Kristy was only a child is to attend the Anna Community Yard Sale Day. This is a day designated by this small town near where Kristy grew up that all residents should hold their yard sale. Imagine for a moment if even 20% of a town held a yard sale at the same time. Now think of Anna where the turn out is more like 40%. We walk from house to house rooting through their unwanted goods and some times their discarded junk. We usually do not walk away with huge deals but we do buy many cool things. One persons rubbish is another persons bargain.
This year Kristy and I walked the town of Anna with her Mom, Tove. Out of all of us Tove was the only one that didn't buy anything and that isn't easy. With so many deals and stuff for sale anyone could find something. But this year Tove displayed some strong self control unlike the rest of us.
During our travels we came across Kristy's grandpa and her siblings, none of us missed this very unique and cheap opportunity. Another tradition of the yard sale day in Anna is that we eat at their local church for lunch. The church is in the middle of the town and provides a good rest stop and some of the best chicken noodle, bar-b-que, and chicken sandwiches that you could want. And so yard sali'n we went.....
