This is my
teapot that I
found at the
one garage
sale that I
went to.


My dd and I did a garage sale for my niece, her cousin. They are one year apart and are like sisters. We watched her girls while she got to go to a wedding with her boyfriend. She is definitely twitterpatted. We are so happy for her. I digress.
So dd and I loaded up my grands and all the stuff and headed out on Friday night. I watched kids as they set it up. Then my niece headed out. We made a camp in the living room and after it cooled off they were all asleep. I watched baby booboo while dd finished setting it off. Off to bed we went. Saturday dawns bright and beautiful and hot!!!!!!! The whole town, very small town had garage sales.
We didn't do so well in the bucks but we sure had fun. The grand girls sold Kool-aid and they made money. More than each of us at the garage sale. That was way too funny. They were quite happy and learned about paying for supplies and then after those supplies are paid for you make the money that is called profit. Hey, teaching them is part of learning about business. Teaching our children and grandchildren some life lessons along their journies makes a difference in their lives. I am glad I get to have the priviledge of being a part of that in small ways.

I do have to tell you after we loaded it all back up and headed for home I was one very very tired chickadee. I had a smile from the memories. Isn't that what it is about it making those memories? I think so. So fill your day with good memories, whether you are reading a good book, sitting and watching the butterfly in your flower beds or taking a good nap. Make memories for yourself along the way.
