So, Saturday, we had our much planned garage sale. As I said in a previous post, I had gotten a bunch of people on the block to commit to doing a sale too so that we could draw in more shoppers! Well, it turned out, it was only me and Dan, but we had a lot of our fun neighbor friends come and help out, and even bring a few things to sell: like this American Eagle holding Osama Bin Ladin in his claws! Kelly (down the street) really liked this one:
Here I am with our first customer who bought two towels for $1 - what a deal! I asked him if he had a girlfriend and he said he had had one for 16 years. So, naturally I asked why they weren't married, and he said- she already was - to someone else!!! WOW! Interesting folks come to garage sales :)
And of course, what garage sale would be complete without Meuf Te' and Vern? Vern kept pushing his ball under the fence so that people would throw it to him and Meuf Te' would shove her head under the pickets so that people would pet her! Oh, our children! But how could you resist such cute faces?!
We had alot of neighbors come down to hang out and help and Dan cooked breakfast tacos. Courtney and David tried to steal Meuf Te' but we will never part with her!!! And David picked up a book from Kelly's stash about what to do in difficult situations like when you are in the path of gunfire! Ok, yes, I had alot of clothes to sell- some dating back from 1999!
Right when we were finishing up, the skies broke loose and it started pouring on us. Luckily, all of our neighbors rushed over to help us get all the leftovers in, but in the end, we ended up with $220! SUCCESS!

An oldie but a goodie. I liked that first customer. My garage sale a few weeks ago didn't turn out any interesting fornicators.
