Yard and Craft Sale

This morning was a Breakfast Buffet at 8:30 all the food provided by the park and cooked by park staff. A great deal, tickets are $5 and there is everything, scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, potatoes, home baked biscuits, real butter, jams, syrup, honey from a local beekeeper, it is all so good and kept hot in warmers so available for seconds if one has room! The park was also having a Yard Sale from 1-4:00 pm at individual sites and a craft sale in the clubhouse. Great day for a yard sale, temperature is 80F. We enjoyed breakfast, some socializing, went home walked the dogs and relaxed awhile. We then wandered about the park viewing items for sale, some campers gathered their sale items at one site, it really was a good way to meet folks here and a wonderful way to get rid of stuff no longer needed. We picked up a hanger for bird food and met others who had picked up a needed item for a good price, we did not have anything too sell but had fun looking and visiting. The craft sale was awesome, could not believe all the talented people staying at this park, knitted items, beautiful dolls, quilts, crochet items, paintings, photo albums, jewellery, all the items you would expect at a craft show, some crafters displaying their items were local folk. Woody purchased a native wooden flute from Flute and Feather Productions, a beautiful piece of wood with a marvellous melodic sound. Overall, it was a fun day. We spent our evening as usual chatting online with friends and watching TV.
The flutes come in many different keys and made of many different woods. Different wood has a slighty different sound and the flutes vary in size depending on the key.

There are single flutes and double flutes, the double flutes are neat it is like playing 2 flutes at the same time, if you ever get a chance to listen to these flutes take the time to do so, the sound is so soothing.
