You all missed out on this

Gary and I were quite amazed at how much 'stuff' we had when we moved a month ago and decided we needed to cut the 'stuff' in half. So, we've been diligently going through everything we have and trying to cut ties with some of the things we NEVER use, look at, and don't even remember we had.

Last Saturday we decided to have a garage sale. It was quite humorous...we even sold stuff (total junk and garbage) that was left in this house when we moved in, it was great! But by far, the best story of the day was this lady who pulled up in the van shown below. You probably can't even see it as good as I did but let me tell you, this thing was PACKED and as you can see, she's even got stuff tied on top of her van. I decided this was a story worth telling so I asked her about it. She told me that the garage sales were down in number that day and that ours was only her TWELFTH that she had gone to. I asked her if everything in the van was from garage sales that day...YUP! It sure was! Can you believe it?!? And, she cleaned us out too! NICE! So, next time any of you are planning a trip to visit us, let us know and we'll get a garage sale lined up for some great entertainment while you're here! :)

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SHE BOUGHT FROM YOU! What could she possibly have needed from her 12th of the day??? Ask my dad to tell you about his friend John...sick and wrong and possibly related to this lady!

Reminds me a little of someone else and his coupons. :) I wonder when this lady is planning her own garage sale. I bet she could use one.

I know the guy Lisa is talking about. BAHAHA. Usually people go to garage sales looking for a particular item. As in ONE. I love that her car is packed. She's getting some Christmas shopping done at your house.
