Need a Hand?

I couldn’t stop thinking about that Willy Wonka. I really wanted to have bought it, but it wasn’t for sale. I kept looking it up on eBay. Saw the prices it was selling for, and just kept wishing I had bought it to flip it.

Next weekend came around and there was a community wide garage sale in Worth. Garage sales on every corner every street. Now, most of these were senior citizens trying to clean out there attic, with things that nobody wants anymore. Or at least I didn’t. But, some of the items we found were something that we didn’t expect to see. Like a sealed copy of PS2 Death By Degrees for 2 bucks.

As we kept driving around there was a little one, I said probably won’t find much but, might as well. As I walked up I saw it. There he was laying there. It was meant to be. Willy Wonka all 18″ of him laying on the table … Eh? … That doesn’t sound right. Let’s try this again.

There it was, on the table laying next to a couple of different action figures was Willy Wonka. Minus the box, but it had all the pieces. (All the pieces is just his cane.)

I was happy also picked up a Marv from Sin City, cause he offered me that one for 10 bucks.

We get home, and we had a long night. Ended up going to bed bright and early in the morning. Kids woke up, and started playing I paid them no attention. I just needed a couple hours of sleep. And, I did sleep.

I wake up, and I see a mess, the kids were playing with their toys, no big deal, we’ll just clean it up, but not till I get my coffee. Make myself a cup of Joe and head over to my desk. And, I notice that the mess made it’s way over here. And what I had picked up yesterday at the garage sales was all over the floor.

 

At least they didn’t break the cane.
