And the best thing I've found for leg cramps is quinine sulfate...I've had to take it for years due to a back surgery gone wrong...if you can't get that, tonic water (with or without the gin!) also works, or so I've been told.

Must comment on the awesome haul you made garage sale-ing this weekend.

Yes you sure did good. I just love yard and estate sales. I had gone to one this summer and she had a 301 in the cabinet for $50. And I didn't buy it because I didn't know how I was going to get it home by myself. I'm mad now that I didn't get it.

I stopped at one house, where she had a small table with fabric, and next to it was another table with two quilts on it, prices listed at $15 for a pink quilt and $45 for another. Great prices, right? While I was standing there, I get a cramp in my foot, and it starts working painfully up my right leg, and I know it was showing in my face. But no way was I leaving, if I ended up rolling on the ground, lol. I told her I wanted the stack of fabric, which she had said was $1 a piece. I walked over and was trying to look at the quilt, by now almost doubled in pain. I told dh to stand by the fabric.
She said...the one quilt is only machine quilted. I told her I was not prejudiced. We were unfolding the quilts to look at them. You cannot believe how gorgeous they are. Dh was drooling over the one. I asked her what she wanted for all the material, and told her I wanted both the quilts.
I nearly fell over when she said, "Today the quilts are $5.00 each, so how about $20 for everything. Oh yes, please, please, please. I could not pay her fast enough, lol. We filled my trunk. A lot of the material is stuff she used to make cushions, etc...and she had a huge bag of long zippers. But I paid $20, and came home with two quilts to die for. I promise to get photos as soon as possible.
Then....on the way home, I saw one sign and as much as I was hurting, HAD to go to that sale. I picked up a sewing machine cabinet that my machine may or may not fit in, but it sure will fit ON IT, and I can stop using my ironing board. $5.
I am in quilt heaven today....and took two pain pills, lol...and will feel much better soon.
And.....on a side note, I have been trying to find a bird rescue to donate my four bird cages to FOREVER. We stopped at a sale where the man had a cage. I joked that if he sold it, send anyone who needed more to my house. Turns out he needed a bigger cage for his cockatiel, and is connected with bird rescues, and is going to come get all those cages for me. HURRAY!!!! What a perfect yard sale day.
