Oh my gosh…  The 127 Yard Sale is one of the most fun things Deb and I try to do every year.  We missed it last year, but wasn’t about to miss it this year. If you have never heard of it, here is a bit about it.  The 127 Yard Sales are the world’s […]

The Springfield Ohio Extravaganza is the best antique flea market on the face of the planet… I am not kidding.  I started attending this flea market YEARS ago when I was probably in my 20s.  When Deb popped into my life, I introduced her to it and she feels the same.  There are over 2,000 […]
