Garage Sales

I love to get up early on a Saturday morning and hit the road in search of treasures. Treasures I might find at a yard sale or garage sale that is. You just never know what you might find. I've found some pretty good bargains at yard sales in the past. Of course, its not always like that. Some days I come home with nothing. But even on those days, I can say that I had a good time shopping!

We have been accumulating "stuff" since we've moved to Texas 2-1/2 years ago. Some of the boxes that we brought from our house in Georgia have never been opened. So, I told the family that it is time that we had a garage sale. Our garage was being taken over by all of this "stuff" and it was time to reclaim the garage! LOL

Yesterday we had our garage sale. It was a beautiful day for it, with temps up to 75 and sun shining so nicely. We were able to meet some neighbors that we had not met. That was nice. There were others that came by that were interesting people to meet as well. Like this little Asian lady, who bought Caitlyn's old lady bug umbrella. She was so excited to find that lady bug umbrella! What a sweet and friendly lady.

Overall, we had a nice day. When the traffic stopped coming and we were to tired to stay out there any longer, we decided to pack it up. What was left over went to Goodwill, other than a few items that we wanted to keep. In the end, I think we all agreed that the money made was not worth the effort that was put into the day. I don't plan to ever have another garage sale. However, I sure hope others do, because I still love going to them!
