Garage Sale

One customer at Margaret and Erick's garage sale had fun trying on the roller blades and a witch's hat.  This picture doesn't quite capture the full extent of how he looked.  Sales around here start at 7 am.  I didn't even know there was such a time.  The only time I get up that early is on the first day of the state fair when I chase the hot air balloons with the grandchildren.  

John and I managed to help lug stuff out into the driveway and garage.  The sale ended at noon.  (Hey, it's the south, time for a siesta.)  We were ready.  Erick put a little sign on his bobble head of Isiaha Thomas saying it was Barack Obama.  It then sold immediately.  But the playboy magazines didn't even get a second glance.  The last batch he sold in Indiana had people fighting over them.  Hmmm.  What does that say about the differences between the two places.

About Me

We retired after years of being in the computer support business, Jane with Brulin Corp and John with Unisys. We tried tent camping but finally settled on RV living. While we are part timers now, we hope to move to becoming full-timers eventually. John works on his HO model of Ellis, KS UP railroad and Jane persues her search for used books to read and sell on Amazon. We winter in Apache Junction, AZ and summer in Indiana.
