I've never had a garage sale before and I've never been one who frequented them...I always figured I didn't have the patience to organize one and I certainly find no pleasure in pawing through other people's stuff (read: junk). Today I learned why I've never had one before: I don't like people touching my stuff (and until it's sold - it's still my stuff!) and many of them make very snide comments. But today, I participated for the first time in our neighborhood's garage sale. People are interesting creatures. You can give them the deal of a lifetime, and many will still ask, "Will you go lower? Are you going to mark things down at the end of the day?" That said, I did have a fun time and might even consider doing it again (I made over $400!) since I know what to do differently next time.
Oh, and food wise - did you notice chicken and dumplings? One of the few meals my mother could actually cook well and, as a result, one of my favorite foods. I can hardly wait!
