Road Trip

I have been busy getting ready for my trip with 3 sisters and 1 brother-in-law. He acted as a driver and planned our trip. Before leaving I had to get okra pickled, strawberries frozen and jelled
We left on thurs. arrived in Grand Island, Nebraska in the evening. On Friday we started our junking along the north route of the "junk juant". It follows the North Loup river (sorta) purchasing as we went. If we saw a sign for the jaunt we followed it. Met some friendly people. Everyone was so encouraging on our stops.
Some people came from west coast area, such as Oregon. Some had shops and were looking for primitive things or antiques to resell. Some had started when it started seven years ago. We met a mother and 2 daughters who were there for the first time, also another daughter had brought both her mother and mother-in-law for the last four years.
I purchased a side table to refurbish, 2 wicker chairs and wicker side table/ottoman that I plan on painting, also will make and cover cushions for the chairs. I purchased some yardage for craft projects.
My sisters purchased various items, dishes, side tables, fabric,& books. All are for projects they have in mind. They will use some and resale some.
We stopped at a pumpkin and craft farm. They had several vendors at one location, some hand crafted items, an garage sale area. It was great. I think it was one of the highlights of our trip as we stopped there twice.

Each one of us  purchased several pumpkins, gourds and squash
We also stopped at a winery also pictured above. They had just sold the buckboard for $2000.00 as we were leaving.
Our driver was very accomadating, he stopped when we needed too or wanted to. This trip was not one of the hurry up and get it done things. It was more of  take your time and look around type trips.
