Yesterday and today I worked our tent at the World's Longest Yard Sale. The weather was most pleasant and breezy, and we had a lot of fun. We had a good deal of clothes for sale along with an antique stereo and phonograph cabinet, but our best attractions were grilled hotdogs, fresh-popped popcorn and cold drinks.
Our hottest item was an album from 1980 of Con Hunley. None of "us girls", of whom I am the oldest, had ever even heard of dear ole Con. The album had never been opened, shrink-wrap completely intact, with the original Target price tag of $5. Throughout the weekend we commented and speculated on Con, his handsome "eighties self" on the cover and his interesting song titles. Why, oh why, was nobody buying our coveted Con Hunley album? Surely it was because everyone's phonograph needles were broken.
I came home and googled Con Hunley. He has, as a matter of fact, made quite a name for himself in the country music industry. I believe he performs in and about the Smoky Mountains. Just google him for yourself....
The yardsale continues through tomorrow, but TWH is finished until next year...
Yummy hotdogs! They were grilled with KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce. Quite the hit with the customers!
Here's our social worker Jennifer and her husband, Jacob. As he slaved over the grill, she wiped his brow. Please don't overlook Alice as she cheeses in the background. She loves to get in the picture! Gotta love that Alice!

I can't believe Target was around when Con Henley was selling records!
