Plattsville Community Yard sales a fun day. Saturday

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario

         If you want to have a successful yard sale you need a lot of customers. And what better way than to advertise a community yard sale. They have been doing this for years and is always a fun day for everyone. People come for all over on many modes of transportation.

       We wandered pretty well the whole village for many hours. Stopped in at the Christian School to visit with daughter number two and our grandsons. They were very busy having a baked sale, BBQ and the very popular test drive a Ford event. People were lined up most of the day until 2pm test driving all the different vehicles, a huge success for the school.
        It was a nice sunny day but a cool wind, at least it was not raining. We drove the streets and parked where we could find a spot, checked out the deals (did not buy anything though). We chatted with so many people some we have not seen for years, such a fun day.
        Even stopped by Marc and Erin's for a nice coffee and chat. They had just returned from Sarasota Florida for their sons wedding, they had a wonderful time.

almost anything you could want for sale,

park where you can but only on one side of the street

Daffodils and tulips

       All that exploring around town sure was fun, then back home for a light lunch and enjoy our books out of the wind on a nice warm sunny afternoon.
       Then 4 o'clock down the country roads a few miles to Wilmot Centre (tiny hamlet) for a nice visit with good friends Darla and Ben.

oh so good, Ben loves cooking too

       The meal was perfect and just before it was served Ben's son and friend dropped by, perfect timing for dinner. Such a nice surprise.

bananas, dream whip and caramel sauce
light and tasty

       It is so much fun reconnecting with friends, we did see them last year, the conversation just keeps flowing and flowing, then before we know it past 9 pm. Bedtime for us. Better head on home or will be falling asleep before I know it.
       Too late for me to put together this posting so first thing this morning, Guess I will two in one Day!
       Thanks for stopping by. Oh and a Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mothers out there.

See ya later
