Superheroes At Every Corner, Missoula, Montana


My friend, Jenny, called and suggested we spend a recent Saturday morning strolling her neighborhood, perusing the literal dozens of yard sales that bloom on a particular weekend in May.
Now, bear in mind that, since being married to the poster boy for “Simplify Your Life”, I haven’t spent a morning yard-saling in about 8 years.
And I kinda loathe idle shopping in most forms. And it would mean forfeiting my precious coffee-in-jammies morning.
But, I love Jenny.
And we would simultaneously be strolling and hanging out together.
So, I did not say, “I’d rather have a tooth pulled.” (Jenny works for a dentist and could follow through on that).
I said, (hem, haw) “For you, I will do this.“
And we did share splendid catch-up conversation, and a fun chat with some spunky seniour ladies.
So friendship yields were high.
And, yes, I bought a few small things, such as a vintage gold chain & a grey pearl costume bracelet - both from the spunky seniour gals!
But this photo is the coolest thing I brought home that morning. 

 Isn’t this what the serious yard-salers hope for?

Aviator Bee, Hamilton, Montana

I just noticed that this little bee looks to be wearing mirrored aviator shades, which are purportedly a "new" retro rage this summer season.   So, if this is the weekend for a yard sale to finally get rid of all your carefully preserved 1980'sunique fashion coolness, pull those shades out! And your flashdance shirts. And maybe a few select neon garments.  
Then wear them, all together, with pride that they're vintage.  (Sorry, didn't mean for you to see half my smile twitch impishly.)
