Garage Sale

Back in Michigan, once a year, our block would have a garage sale. You could find some interesting things there. At that time, Nicole was really into the stuffed animals(she still is but now that is not the only thing she is interested in). Last year we had one at our house but not too many people showed up. This year we didn't have one but went to some. But it's not just a "block" sale. Anyone in the Vistancia community is allowed to participate, so it's about 5 square miles.

We had Nicole's friend, Izzy, with us. The first house Nicole asked me if she could buy this giant giraffe stuffed animal. The answer was no. At that first house, Izzy bought a little box, inside it were a mini stapler with a box of staples, paper clips, and tacks. Nicole got nothing there. The next house Nicole bought a music stand for $5 for her clarinet. At another house Izzy bought a Spongebob Squarepants computer game. At one house Izzy bought a finger painting kit. That left Nicole with her music stand and nothing else. As we were driving around, we saw that a friend of mine that was having a garage sale. Nicole saw two hassocks and got those. No clue where to put them. Like we don't have enough "stuff" in our house already! I really didn't buy anything for myself. But I did buy a bar that you put on your bathtub to help you get up and out. I bought that for my mom when she comes here. And after that we still had to go to Nicole and Izzy's volleyball game.

During our ride around the community, we caught some interesting scenic views of the community and a hot metallic pink car.
