We also went out this afternoon to tour the local garage sales, as they seem to sprout up faster than flowers in the spring time. Our travels eventually lead to Fitchburg, where we found the mother load, a whole subdevelopment of about 15 individual garage sales! We found some shirts for Laura, a few present surprizes, some board games (always on the lookout for some gems) and our best find, a classic set of Lincoln Logs. We tried to find a good set when shopping for our nephew's Christmas present last year, and the only ones we could find were themed set, with settlers, highway men: lots of plastic people, but not many logs. But here, we found a complete set, deep stained wood, green slats for the roof, all for only $3! So we're all set for a visit from our nephews to entertain away the hours. Hooray!
