Today I went to an auction. I bought one box of pans which I did'nt even know what was in the box. I got it for 2.50. There were two 9x13pans with snap on lids, a Revere ware skillet 10 inch and a Revere Ware skillet probably 6 inch. Some 8x8 pans and a muffin tin, two cookie sheets. After I left to walk to Mom's Ed bought the cast iron. I wanted to see the cast iron sell but Ed was wanting to go and he checked to seewhere the cast iron was and said it would be a long time. So I left to walk to Mom's and he was to pay the bill. When he went to the trailer to pay the bill he noticed the cast iron was on the table ready to be sold. He waited but didn't know how much to bid so Don Smith told him that one skillet would be about 30.00. So he bought the chicken fryer and a big skiller for 12.50 each and then a pile of smaller skillets and a griddle for 10.00 total. They need cleaned up but will be nice pans. Then we came home and watched the Kentucky Derby and saw a 95oo.oo horse beat the million dollar horses. When the band played My OLd Kentucky Home I think I saw a kid that Home Makeover did a house for. He was in a wheelchair and blind but he played the trumpet and his Dad pushed him in marching band. Today they just showed a glimpse of the bank but there was a kid in a wheelchair and an older man standing beside him. When they did the makeover that family did live in Kentucky. After the derby Jerryl and I went to the Prom Promanade. There were some real pretty dresses this year. A lot of ball gown styles with the skirts pulled up in those tufts. One dress was quite striking but different. Real sleek and fitting on a very skinny girl and the print was animal print. The larger girls looked better this year. Nobody wore a sack like they have in the past.
Ted did a good job today of mowing our back yard. Then Ed and Ted cleaned out all the corn husks that had blown in by the garage door. They were just finishing that when Carl Streeter came to spray the yard for the first time. Now if it will rain tonight that will be perfect timing.
Last night Jerryl and Mom and I went to Atkinson to shop at Smith's going out of business sale. We bought some fabric to sew some of Mom's quilt blocks together. Janny met us there and we ate at Subway. Mom was able eat the pizzas they have there.
