The Yard Sale
The house towards the end of our street is hosting a yard sale this 3-day weekend. For a very good cause: Relay For Life.
They have a very large team of people who spent most of Thursday evening delivering items to be sold as well as organizing tables and displays.
This morning I drove past at 6:45 and saw bargain hunters scoping out thejunk treasures in spite of the sign that said: We open at 9 o'clock.
To benosey neighborly, we walked up there late this evening to see how things were going.
M was exhausted. Friday was her burden as many of the participants worked at their regular jobs.
Then she shared the worst part of the day.
Her next-door neighbor boy stopped by early and propped his bicycle by a table where some of the things still needed pricing stickers.
She sold it.

here those sales are done in garages because of the incertain weather. It started a few years ago when more and more Americans moved to Waterloo and put out a sign : "Garage Sale"
Now the word "sale" means dirty in french and people wondered why they put signs outside to tell the whole world that their garage was dirty, lol!
Take care, Love, Merle.
How much did she get for the bicycle?
Hey ... it's for a good cause, right?

Still I hope he gets it back. Bikes are useful, lol!

This year, someone asked J if he would like to walk with the survivors. That is so emotional, for me anytime, but if he walks, even more so!!
Love when you comment on my blog. I think you are the perfect 'comment on my blog' person!! Love, Gaynor x
