Garage Sale

Well my garage sale is over! sooo glad. Really had a hard time getting into it. Years ago Donna and I had them every few months. It was exciting !! I would bring my kids to her place and we would make a day of it. She lives on a corner of a very busy street so we would get lots of people stopping by, we would joke and laugh and try are hardest to get them to buy something they didn't even need. ha. We would make a day of it / have lunch together and the kids would play. Those were the good old days as they say. Well anyway I wanted a new dishwasher, old one was not doing the job so dad said if I came up with half he would pay the other half. So I got started cleaning out my closets a good month before and Donna and Frankie said they would donate stuff so they cleaned out their closet as well. Finally after a while I had enough and the big day finally arrived. Got up around 6 AM on Friday and started setting up and since wanted to start at eight I had to go have my signs up by seven. Well it was slow starting out but later picked up and little by little my money started adding up. I decided if I hit my goal of one hundred dollars that I would not have it the next day. YES!! One day was enough for me ," TOO HOT" and I still had three hours to go!! Have to admit it was not all that fun. Something was missing?? I was no longer that young energetic person I was thirty years ago! ha. it didn't help that dad kept saying ," you have a customer. " I refused to stand out in that heat! Knew right away I wasn't in for having it a second day. ha. Around here they do Friday and Sat. for G. Sales. Tomorrow was Sat. and for sure those not working would be out in droves looking for that one thing they can't live without. ha! I had set my goal for a hundred dollars and met it. Now not sure what day exactly that my daughter Jenny called , thinking day of sale but she wanted to give me thirty dollars towards my dishw.. Wow, I was soooo excited. that put me over the top and now I wouldn't have to worry about meeting my goal or having it a second day. ha. Gosh Jen, that was so sweet of you! Now whenever I look at my new dishwasher or load it I will remember your kindness. tks. soooo much Jenny! My new dishwasher will be delivered on Monday . Ya!
However, I do believe my garage sale days are over!! ha ha.
