What Is Sum1 Up To Today?

Estate Sale Visit & That Motorhome Search

Estate Sale Visit

         Today it was time for an outing, and for once we left the house before 7:30 am <GASP!>

         The sale was in Champaign, about an hour drive away.  So leaving at 7:10 like we did was actually late in my book.  Why?  Because Estate Sales are typically crowded, very crowded.  As fate would have it though, this Estate Sale, more like a Garage Sale was not crowded.

         Most of the sale items were in the garage, with a few in a Mud Room off the garage.  That's not why I termed it a Garage Sale.  I don't know about other areas, but there's a distinct difference between a Garage Sale, and an Estate Sale.  This had the feel of a Garage Sale.  The woman who lived in the house was a prolific Quilter.  Her Quilts were priced according to size, so various prices.  None were priced too high, prices went from $20 up to $90!  All seemed to be priced appropriately.  Fortunately we don't need a Quilt.

         The Motorhome saga continues also.  We haven't found that perfect one yet.  Perfect in all we want and need.  Not too old, not too new.  And perfectly priced.  That therein is the biggest issue if you ask me.  Finding one in our budget.  The newer ones are well over $100K; obviously not in our budget.  I'm leery of older ones, or the one I liked, until I saw the mileage on it.  This one had the famous Mercedes Benz Diesel Engine, the one that is considered the 500,000 mile engine.  But the unit itself has over 230,000 miles on it!  The engine might be fine for twice that many miles, but how about everything else?  So we wait, and wait.  We search, and search.  One day, our time will come, we're in no rush.
