This weekend we stopped by another auction. Amy finally admitted that she continues to bid over her limit because she doesn't like to lose. However, she did bring home a few gems. One item found burried in a box of kids toys was an Eastman Printing Frame for 3.25" x 5.5" negatives. Now at the auction they had two "rings" going at the same time so I was in the back yard looking through tools while she was in the front yard checking out the glassware. I was also able to pick up a two foot and four foot stepladder for just $1. (No more hauling out the six foot ladder just to change light bulbs.) I also picked up an old drill press for $15. It needs a little grease but should work great. Just as I won the bid for the drill I heard a woman's voice from across the table say "What are you doing?" It was Amy and she had discovered that I was spending money too. What else would you expect when she gave me my own number. At least we weren't bidding against each other :)
