So after spring cleaning out all the junk we couldn't possibly wear, use or play with anymore, we headed down to the Possum Trot rec center for the 1st annual community garage sale.
Up at five and set up for business by 7, we eagerly awaited the first customer. A couple browsed by and asked about our old barstools. They decided to come back. Twenty two seconds later a lady snagged them up - the race was on! Folks started sorting through our prized possessions; they bickered over prices and and browsed through pre-read books, asking whether or not each one is a good book. Hillary Rodham Clinton's tale of villages and children was bypassed several times. Spy novels were rehashed and I got a few recommendations of authors I havent read.
In just a few hours we made more than a full weeks salary and enjoyed the company of our neighbors. What we didn't sell we dropped by the helping hand on the way home.
Now to buy more stuff!
