     The bulk of this day was round 3 of a garage sale.  I dreaded getting up this morning, but once I got going it was OK.  There have not been many folks stopping.  Most of them are in Butternut, 6 miles north of here, enjoying Butternut Pioneer Days. Here up north the annual summer weekend festival is a big deal.  It's time to visit, party, go to craft shows and have a big parade.  Next weekend is ours---the 60th Flambeau Rama.  BE HERE.

    Anyway, the few customers that have come have made the effort worthwhile.  If not for money, a garage sale is a great social experience.  One gentleman told me he had a successful career as the artificial inseminator in the area.  Made good money and has lots of cows running around bearing his name.   Now his son has taken over the position.

    A lady sympathized with me for having a garage sale--told me she knows how hard it is to prepare for because she had one not long ago.

    One fellow bought my well used air purifier--bought it for $10---cost me around $300.  He is going to use it in his workshop when he runs his table saw.

   I sold a few pieces of furniture.  I did get to say goodbye to a dear friend.

  I filled out the day with a walk, then dinner with my sister-in-law.  She challenged me to a game of "Upwards".  We ended in a tie.  Need to have a play off. 

    Later in the evening was the opening ceremonies of the London Olympics.  Let the games begin!

     This has been a good "let the games begin" day in the life of Grandma G.

    "Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us." 

 (Isaiah 26:12)
