Diana Jones and the Antique Garbage

[mercat]

Wow, so as soon as I finished writing the earlier entry about my day, my mom and dad asked me to help clean out our oil barn (where I park my car and we store assorted yard care tools). It was cool to take all the old tools down that I had seen up there, like the scythe. There were a couple of old signs and horseshoes, too. THen my dad asked me to climb up on the top storage floor and get down any cool stuff. It was so tight! There were some old potato chip cans (like, large bucket sized!) and army tin buckets and some old bucket with a spout. There was an old coke and a pepsi bottle, so I pulled those down. The two best finds were an old bamboo fishing pole with a wooden bobber, and a falling-apart saddle. I had to dig around under piles of potato fences and wire and fence poles and wasps nests and old papers. It reminded me of when we ripped apart our back room a few years ago, down to the foundation, and we found an old trash pile beneath... Laura and I found old shoes then, some broken china, and I have this REALLY SWEET piece of broken glass. So... I had fun. The chicken coop is getting ripped down, too, so we'll go through that later.

So, there is an Egyptian Festival this weekend, down in Miamisburg... that sounds so cool! I think I'll go. Maybe I'll go see Brothers Grimm when that comes out, that looks cool. It's another "I <3 Boots!" type movie, so Katy, want to go?! Haha.

I think I might also have a "Plunder Party" this weekend or next week... either before the buildings get ripped down or after, when we can climb around in the dumpster... I mean, we can just get junk and make a fort in the forest out of all the cool stuff.
