The first Saturday Blueberry Pancake breakfast added attraction for March was a Yard Sale. Many vendors responded to the nominal $7 fee and spread out their "stuff".
These wonderful kids were seen at the Methodist Church Library Book Sale. They are D.J. and his mom, Donna and Dad Joe and their friend Brittany. D.J. spent his own quarter each for his well chosen books and his expression said he was anticipating happy hours enjoying them. The enthusiasm he and his friend Brittany showed at the book table was enough to warm this grandmother's heart. Brittany has her first horse, for which she had yearned. I know that because she and her daddy, Crandell Bales, are regulars for the breakfasts. Brittany went on to the other vendor tables with DJ's family. Crandell Bales came separately. He discovered a book entitled "An Album of Horses" with lovely photographs. Brittany had missed it. They returned together later only to find the horse-y book in another customers hands. They just stood aside and waited and hoped. God answered. The lady put it back on the table. Brittany went home happy with her new "An Album of Horses" book. I bet she and her horse might "read" it together.
Bobbi and Jerry Fenderson (WHISPER HORSE'N ROUND columnist) were at the breakfast and the Yard Sale with three couples visiting from New Hampshire. After a few days in our hometown they are off to enjoy a bare boat charter (catamaran) from Marsh Harbor. They will sail on the aquamarine waters of the Bahamas island chain. I made some aquamarine sailing memories with Jack (maybe 40 years ago.) Cherished ones and so I love sharing about the Fenderson&friends and appreciating God's gifts of Life and Health and Natural Beauty.
A weary Beanie Brooks & helpers served up many breakfasts between 7 and 10 A.M. She was grateful to have a $700 take reported from Kelcey at the ticket table. Jack Allred is the grill cleaner-upper guy.
