Garage Sale Heaven

What a day!  Nice weather for ducks.  And for garage salers.  Well, not really.  I met a friend about eight this morning.  She is an avid garage saler and has it down to a science.  When she asked if I had the list for today, I told her I didn't.  She told me to look in the Action Plus...a little nothing paper.  I looked guilty and said, "Ken is right, if the ink is dry, I throw it away."  She looked horrified.  So it was decided we meet somewhere.  I had fun with her ducking the pouring down rain and checkin' out the treasures.  I spent six dollars and for that got a tiffany tea pot lamp...adorable.....a lovely rubber backed throw rug........a brand new...in the box...Pampered Chef pizza stone and a vinyl garbage container that fits my bathroom better than the old one that I promptly dumped in the garbage.

The morning sales all scanned, I stopped for coffee with a friend and then came home for a short time and tidied up the place.  Then out again for the afternoon sales.....this time....I picked up Lauri.  We found a never taken out of the box Oster blender for five bucks, which was an item on Scarlen's list.  Lauri made out like a champ and came home to tell her kids she had found garage sale heaven.

Now I'm home and exhausted.  I don't know how people do this three days in a row.  There is another list for tomorrow and it's supposed to be a nicer day.  Actually, it is 4:45 this afternoon and the sun just peeked out.  Oops, there it goes again.  So much for that.  The rain seems to have stopped but the wind is just whipping.
