daily kestrel 33:

Peyton and I woke up around 8:30 this morning to go look at a yard sale for a neighborhood that I pass on my way to work - on the way to get breakfast, we passed one near us and stopped there, we got an old video camera for Paige and a maglite for Peyton

at the donut shop, one of the kids who was in my room at the daycare over the summer was there with her dad, and she recognized me after I waved to her. she pointed to the Halloween decorations in the shop and kept pointing to me and her donuts, we pantomimed back and forth while her dad was paying for their things and she waved bye to me when they left

Peyton and I grabbed breakfast (their new maple bacon donuts are so good) and then headed out to other neighborhood yard sales we spotted. we stopped at probably over a dozen places - Peyton was looking mainly for bulk Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic cards and didn't find any, but we ended up picking up a yarn storage container for Paige, a few tshirts for me, a paper towel holder, a little wrench... just small cheap miscellaneous things. we got good lemonade from some kids at one of the yard sales

at another Peyton asked about Yu-Gi-Oh cards and someone else from the neighborhood overheard and said he had some he could sell to him, they didn't have a yard sale set up but they invited us over to look at them. the woman of the couple had a lot of craft things in the front room, so we got to talking about craft stuff. she has an embroidery machine and takes commissions, I asked her about doing the embroidery for Viper's baby quilt and got her contact info so I can come back over when I'm done with my work on it and she can do the embroidery!

we read chapter 3 of the Alanna book between yard sales, and ended up finishing the rest of it today. after a few chapters Peyton napped while I played more of The Spirit and the Mouse, and then I woke him up to read more. we took a reading break to scrounge up some dinner and watch the first two episodes of Delico's Nursery, which I'm loving so far. Peyton demanded that I finish the book tonight, and I happily obliged. Paige took my copy of In The Hands of the Goddess with her, but I do have the ebooks, so I may start reading him the second book tomorrow before she gets home. it's now time for bed, I think we're definitely going to sleep in tomorrow
