We have spent several Saturday mornings this summer toy shopping at garage sales. This morning we attended the 39th Annual Junior League of Owensboro Rummage Sale. This was Benji and Davey’s first official visit. Sandy was very pregnant when we attended last year and several ladies who remembered seeing us approached to meet the boys. Grandmother Ondra belonged to the Junior League for many years. In the 1970’s while most members were stay-at-home mothers driving wood sided station wagons; grandma maverick had a full-time career and drove a t-bird coupe. She would pick our house clean of all our good old stuff each year and donate it to the Junior League whose huge rummage sale filled the Sportscenter Arena and attracted thousands of shoppers. Local children’s charities have greatly benefited from the Junior League’s efforts.
