Yet another garage sale!
I think today may have been our 3rd in a row but possibly our 4th. Each time we say never again. But we have so much neat stuff to sell. Last May we had tons of stuff which netted us a nice sum. Most of that was from the packing up of the house as we moved into the RV for the year. This time we have stuff that won’t fit into our new home.
But really the weather could have been better. In addition to the wind, we had some showers ( hence the umbrellas ) and it was chilly.
We didn't have too much too sell. The entire RV Park was doing the garage sale so it was good for those living outside of the park to come and search for bargains. There were over 60 people selling things.
What surprised us was that, that unopened pink bag of insulation in the foreground never sold. 50% off!!
We did make $58.00 ( as opposed to just over $300.00 last May ) and in unpacking our things I found $60.00 worth of things that I would have had to re purchase because of my upcoming hip surgery so that was a savings. We also kept a few things aside for Mexico and the rest will be donated to charity.
Honestly we are done. No more garage sales. Ever!
MOM UPDATE: She has been moved to a real bed in a real hospital ward. She is asking for a toothbrush and a hair brush. Positive signs to all of us.

Good to see it was not too cold for sandals! My toes also hate to be confined. 🙂 🙂
Sandy……you are very very observant!! I hate wearing closed toe shoes.
George…you are right…we met some really nice folks.
I always enjoyed having garage sales, always made a few bucks and meet lotsa neat people.
