So I talked to my brother in California today and i admitted that I had turned into our Mom. I had gotten back from Garage sales and had what I thought to be some pretty nifty finds! His response was that I had turned into Mom a long time ago and now I had officially crossed over to the dark side! Well, if it takes selling my soul to the devil or hangin' with Darth Vader to get cool stuff for almost nothing than where do I sign! I found a little something for everyone: a telescope, a tackle box, some cookbooks, and some toys all for $20.00!
I only say I have turned into my mother since I can remember spending pretty much every spring until fall Saturday morning getting up really early to go to garage sales. At the time I thought it was pretty much torture especially if there wasn't anything for me to get. We tease her that she is getting out of hand, but she's not. She does like a bargain and is forever hanging on to stuff - "just in case someone could use it", but then again we wouldn't want to loose the "majic basement". So accepting that I am my mother I will be off again next Saturday looking for the next deal. Nothing beats the early morning quiet, a venti vanilla latte and a bag of change to unwind from a long week.
