Me: Garage Sales here we come!!
1985 Classmates Carol, Jenifer & I (along with Bob) searched Elk Horn & Kimballton during their annual city wide garage sale! Jenifer wanted to buy this retro camper.
At the Egg Crate; a cool thrift store in Elk Horn. Carol bought these glass dishes to create a decorative window like the ones I've been making in AZ. Jenifer is showing an old elementary school chair (very likely one we used in 1st grade)!
We found some old plastic Halloween masks. Remember this kind? The ones you couldn't breathe under! Carol's mask had the name "Ann Esbeck" inside. Ann was 3 years older than us in school (too funny).
It was really neat driving around our hometowns, shopping & seeing folks we knew. This rock is displayed in Kimballton. Someone is painting a rock in every Iowa county (or maybe town?). This one has The Little Mermaid on it. BTW: I bought 3 vintage juice glasses, a retro letter holder & a 1960's lamp. :-)
After garage sales it was back to the farm for lunch. Then Jerome dreamed up an activity for himself & these guys!
Rappelling off of Monte's tractor lift.
Monte raised them Up, Up, UP! :-/
Then Jacey came down.
Next was Bob!
Thumbs up from Jerome!
They said it was a pretty cool view up there. :-)
Tonight is my 30 year class reunion!! Yay! I'll post pics from that tomorrow.
Looks like you had a wonderful time in Iowa....so nice to re-connect with class mates!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am so glad I was able to get back for our 30th year reunion. It was special to see these friends from school.
