The Thrill of the Hunt

This morning was just super fun.  Garage Sale season is in full swing.  I just love it.  Seriously, one good deal, and the whole morning is worth it.  Today was just the best!  Kathryn really needed a new bike.  There were tons of neighborhood sales this morning, and at the first one, I found a super cool bike for her.  I asked the lady how much she wanted for it, and she was like, "How about seven dollars?"  Made my morning.  I was so excited!  What fun!  Jerry has been working on the desk he found for Kathryn too.  He sanded it down and is painting it white.  So fun!  Then after I picked up Jack, I asked him if he wanted to go garage sale-ing some more.  He loves it because the very first time he went he got a fun, loud, toy weed wacker for a dime.  Now he is hooked.  We went to a house and she had Rescue Hero central.  We don't have any of those things, and really, they haven't talked about it much.  Jack spent nine dollars of his own money and got this Rescue Hero tower thing, a jet, a boat, and five guys.  They are loving life tonight.  He is so proud of the fact that he bought it too.  Love it!  Ok...one last thing that I have to share...I found a pair of tags on GAP capri pants for $5.  Love it!  So fun!  Course you either get this or think I'm crazy.  :)  I have some dear friends here that love this too.  We call each other all morning and share where to go.  So fun! Hopefully tomorrow will be fun too!

I'm thinking that garage sales won't be too interesting in this town....:) but you've given me the garage sale itch.

Sanding and painting the desk are not as much fun as portrayed here... Love, Jerry

I am totally with you on this. My kids and I will be at the mega neighborhood (136th and Ditch) sale tomorrow! Last week was a good week for finding school books. Garage sale-ing is just so addicting, yet in a healthy way! And I did take a SUV load of stuff to Good Will this week to make room for more.
