Dave and I just had the best yard-saling weekend ever. Yard-saling involves yard/garage sales (good), estate sales (better) and rummage sales (best). We’ve gotten some great finds at yard/garage sales, but with estate sales, everything in the whole house is for sale and rummage sales are that on a giant scale. But do be respectful and say that you are sorry for their loss at the estate sales. They’re selling all Grandma’s stuff because Grandma isn’t coming back.
What made our recent outing the best ever is the ladder we got for $20 that does some fancy flip-floppy things and is a lot safer than the sketchy piece of equipment that tried to kill our son’s wife recently.
