The Jockey Lot Expedition.

Today we took a Jockey Lot Adventure with Rick, Neesie, and Mr. James.  We were extremely excited because neither of us had been in forever and we had high hopes of finding some neat things to go in our house.  Since we have all the time in the world with summer break, we have been busily working in our home constantly and are always looking for something to make it even better.  Anyway, the morning began at 6:00 a.m.  We haven't gotten up that early since school let out for the summer and boy was it a wake up call. Quinn immediately said that he couldn't do this every Saturday.  The first place we went was to the ol' Piedmont Cafe to get a scrumptious breakfast.  And boy was it delicious! Rick and Mr. James go there so often, the waitresses already know what to order for them.  The rest of us got the normal breakfast but with a grilled biscuit.  Mmmmm! It wasn't a healthy option but was very yummy. After breakfast, the venture to the Jockey Lot began.  Of course Rick and Mr. James got out of the car and left us and Neesie to find deals on our own.  We quickly caught up with Rick and made him stay with us because he is the one who can "wheel and deal."  Everyone knows at the Jockey Lot, you buy extremely random things.  Here is what we came home with: potato chips, Axe spray (can't ever smell too good now), basketball shorts, 4 childrens books, and Sadie a new dog toy.  So needless to say, we didn't find anything to spruce up our house, but we found some other random junk.  That's the joy of going to the Jockey Lot! The morning ended by a quick run to Anderson to a few yard sales that had a bunch of nothing because we were too late.  Then we headed on to Sam's to supposedly just get some croissants, but came home with much much more.  We had an adventurous morning and had a great time listening to Mr. James' stories about life. He also had some great quotes especially this one after we thanked him for a great morning, "Ya'll welcome as the flowers in May."  Maybe we can do it again before school starts back and find some more crazy junk to add to our collection.
