What Doesn't Kill You, Makes you Crazy: May 2016

This month we will return to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for the 11th time as a family over the past 6 years. (Noah & I have been here a few more times for work/picking him up or dropping him off with my dad for a week in the summer). We will be celebrating Noah’s 14th birthday, and covering the Food & Wine event. The park is a special place to us, for it is one of the few places where Noah can be Noah, at peace and we get to spend family time together. It’s been a year now since we were all here together (Though Noah and I were able to cover HowlOScream in the fall for work). We also have this same fun, and semi-relaxing experience when we go to Disney, it’s just too expensive to do that as often. So traveling to Virginia is much easier. We discovered this place when we couldn't afford a trip to Disney, and we are so thankful it worked out this way.

I created two videos recently. One is a walk-through of all of Busch Gardens in pictures set to music (it is posted below) it will give you a feel of why its called "America's Most Beautiful Theme Park". The other (which has more shots of Noah) is in celebration of his birthday. All of the pictures in that video take place at Busch Gardens, but they are more of moments then scenery.

and even trying some new foods!

Throughout years of therapy and growing up its nice to see Noah be very engaged and happy in the majority of pictures. He looks like any other kid, you probably can't tell he has autism. For when he is here at Busch Gardens in Willamsburg, it doesn't have him in its clenches. There is only fresh air, peace, delicious food and sensory therapy.

If you want to know more about how to enjoy the park with a person with a disability or medical issue here is a link to a previously written article about their Mobility Program as well as some tips.

We are moving this summer, and while packing I discovered there are many things I really don't need. We also have collectible items we do really like, but since money is necessary we have to sell. We are unsure if we will be able to just move to our real home, or have to rent something temporarily. So everything must go!

As far as prices, you will find we have stuff for sale for as low as 2 for $1 to as high as $100.
Gathering money for a move is always important. So some things we are selling for the purpose of letting them go because the money is needed for a down payment on a home. Some things however we are selling just to not have to take them and anything is better than nothing.

I am not dealing with change however, so don't expect 10 cent items. But I AM willing to wheel and deal...so find items to equal a dollar, that will work. Most things we have however are brand new and will be priced fairly. See below of a list with pictures of much of what we are selling.

The Sale is being done online now, due to the cancellation of the weather and the Green Fair that was down the street, which was moved indoors to another location. If you are interested in something let me know. by emailing me at crustyproductions@yahoo.com We can arrange to meet, or for pick up. Cash only. I will update the pictures still.

COLLECTIBLES

This section consists of collectible items, for those who collect things you understand. For those who do not, these are hard to find items that are no longer or never sold in stores. The prices are based on the average fair market value, what they would sell for on Ebay, Amazon (which is less than in a brick and morter store, prices would be double) There is some room for negotiating on some items, especially with multiple purchases. Unless stated as FIRM. Lower priced, normal/yard sale fare is below.
