The Haunted Garage Sale was held at the Dearborn civic center next to the library on Michigan Avenue. James could not attend because he was in Saturday classes at Wayne County Community College but Dad went and picked up a few things.

Perhaps the neatest display was the apothecary display of various witches potions and spells all in bottles that looked like they were hundreds of years old when in fact they were probably only a few days old.

It was certainly a long path for James to get his license as the pandemic hit right after his time at Apollo driving school. Once he got a learners permit, he had to drive 50 hours with a parent, with ten of those hours being at night. Once he got that completed he had to wait to take his second schooling which was done virtually, then the final exam which was done in Ann Arbor. Finally he had to go to Detroit to pass his actual driving test which consisted of parking and driving on and off the interstate (I 94 in this case, but he had lots of practice doing this). The pic is James and his Mom leaving with a signed cert that he would take into the Secretary of State the next day (his Birthday) and get his well earned license.

All in all it was quite an adventure not only for James but for his family.
