I love a good ol’ “garbage sale”! I’ve found some mighty treasures over the years. One man’s trash, etc. Thanks, John!

Neat event. Seems more exciting than a solo garage sale.

The best one is “bracelets and fishing rods”. There is a back story there for sure. Ha Ha
And I’ll try the HALF ROASTED chicken. What could go wrong.

How much did you buy, John (or did you find some of your own “gently used treasures” to donate?!?) The nice thing about such a sale is the variety of items … and the fact that it’s all under one roof. Looks like a nice turnout.

There is nothing like a good garage sale! I usually find a book or two that I can’t live without. Always good to hear vintage Beatles. Thanks.

This was a fabulous fun outing, John. Thanks for bringing us along. You’ve got to love a tiny woman with a gigantic shopping bag on her shoulder. The Beatles song is the perfect finish. That menu is killing me — every last item sounds delicious. Red Ash of Austin, huh? Yum. Big hugs.
