There was a Kenney Ridge yard sale yesterday morning, so Ray and I borrowed the truck and drove some things over to the field, along with a folding table and a clothes rack. I made $11.50 after chipping in a dollar toward the ad. And I only spent $2. I sold some toilet paper holders and a towel rack still in their packages from when we built the house; I brought several home and was supposed to return the extras...I sold a plastic computer monitor stand that I had moved from our last house for $1. No clothes. About 9:30 there were no customers and I decided it was too hot and humid and buggy to make it worth standing there any longer. Ray and I packed up and rushed off to Pilates, which was really good. We stopped at the Farmers' Market and got some bread and potatoes and eggs and sausage and then bought a few things at Kroger.
After lunch, we spent a little time cleaning up the study and I looked at cookbooks some. Then we drove to Watkinsville to buy peaches (and tomatoes). We went to Bruce and Jane's house for a pool party about 5:30. There were some visitors from our sister church in Okland, Transylvania. Eva and her daughter visited two and half years ago and remembered the delicious meal my mother had cooked, as well as the charm of my father. I remembered Ray getting the atlas and finding their town on the map. This time, there were Eva and her daughter, now 13, and three other teenage girls. They would be attending camp in Macon for a week. Eva is always trying to raise money. Their church and traditional way of life are endangered and she is part of something called Harvest Hope, which, I think, buys cows for Okland and other communities. Although it is part of Romania, they speak Hungarian. There were about a dozen teens from our Fellowship in the pool, most of whom I didn't know. There was Sam W., who has a large UU tattoo on his back and Madison, Chloe and Emily's younger sister. The pool was kind of dirty, with leaves and dead bugs, and lukewarm, in addition to being full of teenagers just hanging out, so we didn't really swim. Board members were there as well. We all ate pizza and salad and ice cream.
Ray and I came home and watched 2 movies, switching back and forth, and went to bed.
