People ask us where we by stuff. So far this trip we have bought stuff in Georgia, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska. We have been in Antique stores, yard sales, thrift stores, mom and pop stores. warehouses, and barns.
Today we spent 2 hours in a barn in Nebraska with Merlin. We bought a lot of stuff and I got a history lesson with each item. I asked him if he was going to charge me extra for the history lesson.
Today we bought a hog scrapper, and a hog slapper, leather tools, hay bale hooks and meat hooks. We found several tobacco tins and oil cans and a tire repair kit. We also got three "curry" combs to brush horses with and three boxes of square nails and three levelers. We have a fence stretcher, never seen one before, but now I have one. We have, zinc and milk glass lids, glass lids and regular and wide mouth lids. If any one needs lids, we have them. We have eight sad irons from different decades with explanation as to which ones came first and even two children sad irons. We have two sets of corn huskers that wrap around your hand and help you husk corn in one swipe in the field. Merlin's Daddy use to pick and shuck fifty bushels a day for 10 cent a bushel. We have two cream cans tied to the top of the vehicle. Gray enamel pans, toy tractors, a rug beater, two silver baby cups, a complete campers set, five gunny sacks, a coal stoker, WW11 leggings and a feed store sign from a local store are all priced and ready to sell.
We are in trouble. The suburban is filling up fast and we still have South and North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin, before we get back to Kentucky to set up for the world's longest yard sale.
