We Love Us a Good ‘ol Auction ’round Here!

Here is our congressman yesterday on the floor of the house.

I remember the first auction I ever attended was around Warsaw, MO while my family was on a camping trip. I was fascinated by the whole process. I talked my dad into buying me a cactus plant of all things! It was this tiny little shoot of a thing that has continued to grow and multiply itself for years now.

What is more American than a bunch of people gathered around piles and piles of junk; paying good money…making it your treasure?? Yes, we are hillbillies…and yes, we love our bargains too!

What is the best “bargain” you have ever bought at an auction (online or “live”)?
