Well, the rain came down. It's been between 40-44 degrees and poured down during the time I was at the auction. There were a LOT of people there. We went in full throttle
w/ our new slogan painted on the windows -my brother got to park right in front, but the rain washed it off.
We wandered around looking over the property and bought some pop and snacks AFTER making sure the proceeds would not be going to RH. I was only there for a couple hours while small tools were being sold, but they were selling kind of high. My husband kept yelling "ONE DOLLAR" but nobody paid any attention to him. He also kept telling people, "It's a KILLLER sale today folks, KILLER sale!" I don't know...they might make some good money today.
An hour or so in, a friend and AMAZING supporter of our family came bearing a sign and was promptly asked to leave by a lady w/ short dark hair. The friend (I'll let her identify herself if she wants to) said no, it's a public auction. The lady said, this is private property, and she went to find someone to ask her to leave. So...someone came and kindly asked her to move out of the building where the auction was currently going on, and we moved to an open shed. Rumor is, it was the daughter who asked our friend to leave. AND she came and stood right in front of this friend, in her face, and took her picture! WHATever.
I just wanted to say, you know, my MOM is probably out here somewhere. What do you think about that?
Also, I knocked over a bunch of shovels right when I got there, TOTALLY an accident, and not quiet either.
