Good Evening my dears.. 

Hope you all had a great weekend.. 

Terry and I had a fun day on Saturday.. 

We joined many people who did the 70 mile coastal yard sale on Prince Edward Island.. 

It was great and I must say that I have not seen so many yard sales and people in all of my yard sale days.. grin.. 

We woke up at 4 am and left by 5 am ... (must be crazy, eh?) 

Anyway we had to go across the province to the south eastern part of the Island so that took about 3 hours from home.. 

We picked up Tim's coffees and breakfast sandwiches on the way and drove through Charlottetown about 8 am... 

We just arrived on the other side of the city when we noticed cars  all along the Trans Canada Highway.. 

Sure enough the sales were everywhere with fleamarkets, too before we even reached the 70 mile zone.. 

Some were great and others not so good but it just depended on the buyer... 

We did not need a thing and only went for the fun of it all and the day was simply beautiful.. 

A bit warm but a lovely breeze off of the water.. 

The scenery was fantastic as always.. 

We did find a few good buys on a few old things.. 

Terry bought the big old hand hooked rug.. 

It is about 6 x 8 and such a wonderful buy at $30.00.. 

Imagine !!

The smaller one was $10.00 and also a good buy.. 

Most of the stuff is for the farm ... 

The biscuit pillow is for here and will match the velvet crazy quilt in the Living room and it was only $4.00.. 

The little original painting of a rose went into Shonda's old room and I love the hand sewn book cover and the book is great, too.. 

The fabric is simply yards plus other pieces were $3.00... smile.. 

Lace curtains for the farm and old tins for the pantry there when it gets done.. 

Then we were blessed to find basil and a big basket of tomatoes .. 

Terry planted tomatoes but most of them were cherry size for some reason so it was nice to get some to make Roasted Tomato Basil Soup to freeze... 

It is delicious... 

The link is HERE.. for the recipe.. 

I used the basil blossoms instead of dried spice and enlarged the recipe... 

Then I turned the basil into Pesto which should last for quite awhile as it made a couple of big batches..

I freeze that into ice cube trays and add a cube or two to spaghetti, soups, sandwiches and such... 

We had taken our lunch since we didn't want to slow down ... 

We ate at the lighthouse and it tasted so good as we were hungry and hot.. 

Egg sandwiches, fresh tomatoes, blueberry muffins and such.. 

Anyway... 

All in all it was a great day and a lovely way to wrap up the Summer.. 

We were home by 8 o'clock and I had a shower and went right to bed.. 

This old gal ain't what she used to be.. lol.. 

We went to church the next morning and was blessed to hear the Word of the Lord and worship with some of the sweetest people on earth.. 

Good to be home... smile... 

Well, luvies... 

This is all for tonight.. 

Hope you enjoyed the post and take care... 

Looking forward to hearing from you.. 

God Bless...
