3. Just returned from a great buying trip.

My sister and I drive from our home in GA to NM each year to visit family, and we shop all the way out and back. Dallas has always been a great area for us, and this year was no exception. We found more nice cheap furniture than we could cram in the van. Our prize was a lovely oak kitchen cabinet (with sifter intact) for $35. The lady selling it had the top and bottom separated at the sale and didn't even realize it was the same piece of furniture!! We bought several smaller pieces of furniture from the same sale so we were fairly full then and had to "settle" for books and smalls the rest of the way. We also had good sales in Los Alamos, NM, and Oklahoma City. I bought some wonderful clothes for my granddaughters at an upscale (to me) resale shop in Santa Fe, and we found quite a few small treasures at thrift shops.

Our shop is in the north GA mountains so we got home just in time for our peak season when the leaves are turning and tourists are heavy.

We are already planning our next trip.
