As everyone knows, we do not drive anymore so, our daughters take care of that, which is very nice.
On Friday, we visited Brenda’s Kut-n-Kurl Shop, then we went to McDonalds for breakfast and good coffee.
This past Friday our daughter said to me, “Mother if you feel like it lets go eat at Alexandria Cafe.” So we went. When we got to Alexandria, the daughter wanted to first go on down to the Antique House. She was looking for children’s clothes. Casually we ask for canning jars. Clothes she had but no canning jars. She did buy a nice piece of American Fostoria.
After having food at Alexandria Cafe which was delicious, we journeyed on both sides of Highway 70. Then we realized  that this is the weekend for the mile-long yard sale all the way to Lebanon. As we stopped and repeatedly asked for canning jars numerous times, clothes for children she found but no canning jars. We went down to Cherry Valley. Cherrry Valley always reminds us of my late husband’s college friend whom he loaned his book “Fish on the Steeple” by Ed Bell, and his friend never returned the book. My thoughts were, if I were able, the book might be in one of these yard sales, and it might be found.
Saturday morning, Lisa Cripps and Louise Frazier enjoyed a delicious breakfast in Alexandria at the Alexandria Cafe.
After breakfast on our way home, Lisa turned off the highway to another yard sale. She saw the toys, clothing, and a long table of glasssware. Again we mentioned canning jars.
We had often wondered who owned this well kept house which was barely visible from the highway. Ttheo right and end of house just a short distance was an attractive red barn. A sign read  “open for business.” What could be inside this small red barn?
The bright sun was shining so that we could barely see the man approaching the car with three large boxes. They told me to put these in your car, he said. With whom are we speaking, we said? Then with a better view we saw that well-liked gentleman, Robert Robinson of Liberty. Such an interesting man who began to tell about the property and the little red barn which is kept locked and rarely ever opened.
He related that this had been his grandfathers place and that he was the owner now. How interesting he rents the property, but rest assured that Robert makes frequent visits to see that it is well cared for and the lock on the old red barn is secure.
Just then, Lisa came up.  She had been in the red barn and found a three-gallon churn, just what she and Jerald had been looking to buy. The three boxes put in the car were canning jars, Ball and Kerr three dollars a box. A good buy. We didn’t see Roberta Robinson, Roberts wife,  but Lisa said that Roberta was in the red barn taking care of business. It was so good to see the Robinsons, and now we know some history of the well kept farm, the red barn, and Lisa and Louise enjoyed their purchases and a beautiful Saturday morning.
