Saturday Adventure... Whoa.

Well, it's that time of year again! The World's Longest Yard Sale on Hwy 127. We headed out on Thursday morning to just hang out in Chattanooga for a while and we had the bright idea to go to Ruby Falls. They have a really cool Zip Line course there and we thought, why not? I have always wanted to do a zipline and it looked fun so we paid our money and waited for our turn. As we sat waiting, I noticed a "Ninja Warrior-type" obstacle course in the tree tops. Surely that wasn't part of what we were doing.... oh NO, it was! After walking tight ropes and stumbling across suspended bridges hanging by a thread, we finally got to the zip line part. Now that was fun. Let me just say, doing an obstacle course in 100 degree heat while wearing a helmet is hot work and Leon got stung by a bee on the head as well.
Well, onto the yard sales Friday morning with MORE heat! Tons of little goodies awaited us.... so much glassware. I can't understand how all of it survives for so many years. We started in Chattanooga and took Highway 127 to just north of Crossville. That doesn't seem like a long way but it took all day!

You are braver than me on the zip thing. I love all the glass frogs.

Based on the gifts they have received, everyone should use it to serve others,
