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

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.

Garage sales always supply when it comes to gems. You gotta look, you gotta pay attention and of course you gotta eat. But you will find stuff. Great walk this morning Boss.

These sales often harbour a treasure or two. All you have to do is take your time. Better than trashing it all!

I need to search out a garage sale to donate much of the stuff cluttering up my house. (A downside to living in the same place for 20 years.)
