Maine Mall

Really, its not even Halloween.

The Crazy State of Maine

I am just wondering how many states in our union have a law such as Maine where you can not buy alcohol from 1 am until 9 am Sunday morning?  I am sure that this really helps our alcoholism problem in our fine state, not to mention the fact that the state loses revenue on every dime that is not spent during this time.  When visiting other states I notice 24 hour liquor sales and they do not seem to be in the financial trouble Maine is in.  Must have been some man in green pants and a woman in a mumu that made this decision.....I thought prohibition was repealed.......

Yes, at the yard sale.

One of the places we stop has all these boxes with everything for a dollar.  I don't think I would trust the condoms.....

2011 15 Mile Yard Sale Cornville Maine

Our adventure started with a list from my sister of "wishes".  The first house we drive by has an inflatable tow behind for her boat for $50!  But that is not even the crazy part.  Where do I begin?  Grab bags, adult diapers, and condoms?  You can find anything at a yardsale.  3 dingys, 4 pairs of roller skates, walkers, 2 different suspenders (Kati bought the rainbow ones), boats, campers, 3 Oreck vacuums, golf clubs, plants, french fries, hot dogs, and in the middle a bakery with fresh pies (I bought a blueberry pie).  Not to mention the people, lots of crack, smoking and one person with blue hair (not the gray kind), kid on a leash, one adult many kids, a goat riding in the back of a truck, tucker dogs, a person with a full body mosquito net, the list goes on.  Check out the photos....

Yard sale boat

Package deal boat free trailer $325

  The sign reads "Boat Free, Trailer $325"  Sounds like a deal to me.

Grab bag

Seriously at a garage sale?  What could possibly be in that grab bag.......

ROAD TRIP

The guy next to us

As if you fall asleep with the circus going on. Crazy!

Ring master and Larry

The ironic part is that we met the ring master and Larry the clown at the bigfoot museum.

Glow light

All it takes to amuse some is a battery and a light bulb.

Kid on a leash.

Griffin what are you doing in Maine? Only at the circus.

We got poop!

One of the dogs crapped right in the middle of the act. He is really small to the back left.

The Band

Notice that the band is facing the bleachers with no on them except for two people in wheelchairs.

Sherri and Skittles, not the candy but the clown.

Oh, the circus is in town.

I know its not cirque soleil but we are taking about maine here.  OMG. The content I am going to get out of this! First let's talk about the family in front of us, no they are not part of the clown act. 
Someone should have told us that we were suppose to dress up in costumes just to the show.

Bigfoot

Yes we have seen bigfoot.

Yes, it is called Fat Boys

Okay, when I go to Brunswick I feel like I am in another state. Now I know I because at Fat Boys, two seperate trucks peeled out lighing up their tires for no reason. Felt like i was visiting Aunt Jen all ready without seeing the civil war flag in the back of the pickup.

Now i know for sure i am not crazy!

At the boy scout district pinewood derby competion. They were handing out the standard issue green work pants at the door. Now if I can just find out where to get the mumus I will pick one up for shirl.  There is enough flannel in this room for shirl to make ag pajamas for every doll ever sold.

TV Guy

Yesterday I had a company tv technician come to our house.  We had decided to get the whole house DVR, where you tape shows in one room and watch in another.  The technician came and spent two hours in our house.  He was under the house, hammering, pounding, etc.  After two hours, he told me he was ready and asked me turn the tv on.  I turned it on and tried to watch the shows I taped in the other room on a different tv.  It didn't work and he asked me to go to the settings, where is said, "Please call this 1-800 number to get whole house DVR."  I looked at him and said, "What have you been doing for two hours?"  Dumbfounded he told me to call the number.  Well, if you don't know me that well, that didn't fly....he called and spent another hour on the phone with a technician working it out....  I still don't know what he was doing for two hours.  Raiding my panty drawer!

Am I Crazy?

So last night I am at my favorite store, Walmart, and yes the crazies were out in full force.  But even with all those Walmart weirdos, I find myself asking, "am I crazy"?  I had my cart full of groceries and what not and went to look at some t-shirts in the boys department, turned around and my cart was gone.  Now I have to step back and say there were these teenagers walking around the store calling for a friend, honking an old fashioned bike horn and acting like idiots, typical for Walmart.  Immediately I thought they were filming me looking for my cart, but they were not.  I walked around the department for ten minutes before I went over to the dressing rooms to find a clerk.  After I told her about my cart, she yells, "hey Marlene, we got an owner to that cart you took", then she brought me to Marlene who had all ready put stuff away from my cart but went to go get it for me.  I really thought I was crazy!!
Crazy Cat Lady Sherri

The Adventure Begins....Sort of....

We will be starting a new roadtrip this summer.  Who knows what is in store for us? We are in the planning process at this point. Please send me ideas for stops, especially homemade ice cream and good food.  Stay tuned for our adventure.
