Monica left a message in rose petals for Rob
We made a heart-shaped pizza for dinner. We would go out for Valentine's dinner the following weekend when the restaurants were not as crowded.
The next day was Saturday and that meant estate sales. There were only two on our list and we both had different preferences. Both started around the same time. We decided to do something a little different. Rob went to the one that started thirty minutes earlier but was a little further away. His plan was to get there early, get what he wanted and then meet Monica at the second sale where she would get a head start.
Rob got to his sale about 45 minutes before the start and he was the first one there. It was run by a tag sale company that we really like but this was a modest one for them. Most of the things in the pictures for the ad were not of interest to us but there were a few good Christmas things and that was the attraction.
Some of the Christmas things were upstairs and some were on this table. Most of them turned out to be new but there were a few older pieces and Rob got everything he wanted in twenty minutes. He then made his way to Monica's sale which she was about to enter.
Monica's sale was also run by a tag sale company but this company does not run sales as often. We have found some good things at their sales in the past and Monica had one main target at this one.
That vintage three-tiered wooden monkey pod in the back right was what Monica wanted but the price was too high and Monica decided against getting it though Rob, upon his arrival, tried to talk her into letting him get it.
The house did have a pink bathroom and a few other cool things but nothing that we were interested in except a few pins which we brought home.
This was the end of our saling experiences for this weekend as the sales on Sunday were not all that intriguing. We did find a few things and here is what they were:

When the last weekend of February arrived, we decided to go out to dinner. Monica has had her eye on a Polish restaurant nearby. Every review raves about their Hungarian potato pancakes so we knew we would get them plus pierogies, of course, since it is a Polish restaurant! We would order both and split them so we could each enjoy both dishes!
The restaurant had an Eastern European feel
Rob got a very delicious Polish ale
The Hungarian potato pancakes
The pierogies! We really enjoyed the food and we will definitely be back!
The weekend didn't have much for us in terms of sales. On Saturday, we went to a second day sale where all items were free. Day one was Friday and there were some cool vintage Easter and Halloween things as well as some vintage salt and pepper shakers. Those were no longer here but we did find a couple of things to bring home and, since they were free, the price was right!
On Sunday, there was one private sale in our town. There was very little of interest and what was there was overpriced. We left empty-handed.
Our big haul for the entire weekend consisted of these items but they didn't cost us a penny:
A wrestling encyclopedia
A plastic well dressed baby, a Dream Pet Christmas mouse and a squeak toy
We spent Sunday at home which, in a few weeks, would become standard operating procedure. This post concludes our effort to catch up on our activities during the six month period during which our blog was at rest. We had a longer period of inactivity back in 2018 and early 2019. We will begin to catch up on those weeks starting in a few days in a series of posts we will call "Deep Flashbacks". See you soon!
