Treasure Found
I found some great stuff at a garage
sale here last weekend. Clara was at school taking her final
exam so I took Calvin out shopping for a swing, but on Saturday
the stores don't open until 9:30 and I was restless.So I decided
to drive around to some sales in the West Hills area. I got
so lucky. I was only going to stop at sales that I could get
to easily, I wasn't going to turn around or hunt for an obscure
street. The first sale was amazing. I grabbed more than a
dozen unopened CD's marked at $1.50 each. As usual, I was
unprepared so I had to have her hold them while I ran to the
bank. It took longer standing in line at the teller than the
drive to the bank. Well, someone must have guided me to this
sale because here is the lists of discs I got: Disney-
The Twelve Days of Christmas, Cinderella, Toon Tunes, Tube
Tunes, Tarzan, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Lion King,
Goin' Quackers, The Three Musketeers, Jungle 2 Jungle, Bullets
Over Braodway, Beauty and the Beast (in Chinese), Disney's
Greatest (free because she said there was no label and
she was just selling them for her son!), Strange Magic
- The Best of ELO, Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With
It, Pulp Fiction, and the real treasure find...Walt
Disney - Les plus Grandes Chansons des Films (All
in French with songs like Les Aritochats, La Belle Au Bois
Dormant, Alice Au Pays Des Merveilles and more!) Unbelieveable.
At the second sale I found 2 golden books, never been opened,
and some larger Pooh and other stories for a quarter each.
The last sale before the stores opened had a large book of
poems by Shel Silverstein with illustrations. It was $3.00
and in good condition. I read a poem called "The Wind"
to Calvin yesterday at lunch because it was so windy outside.
It was really a nice moment. - Brian
