The yard sale on Saturday was a smashing success. My goal was to make $15. We made enough to fill up the gas tank. And that's no small feat, these days.
It's funny the things that end up selling at yard sales. Someone actually paid me for an opened, half-used bag of balloons. I wonder if my neighbors ended up selling their "shark in a bottle." I should've bought it, dang. You never know when you might need a small, preserved shark.
Yard sales are also an excellent opportunity for people watching. It's funny to watch kids cajole their parents into buying them stuff. They are generally very successful.
The only down side was that I got sunburned on my scalp. I didn't think to put sunscreen on for that kind of event. Nope, all I was thinking about was all the dough I was making!!
