by Insurance GuruThe Guru had a Yard Sale Last week, not for economic necessity, thank goodness, but to get rid of some stuff that was a little too big to haul to Goodwill and I've been feeling pretty cheeky this past month so it sounded like some fun.
By the end of the day, my garage full of another man's treasures was reduced to two cardboard boxes on their way to Goodwill. I met and chatted with so many neighbors... the very ones who before were just a wave and a nod as they drove by. Kids left with giant smiles holding books, toys or a gift for Mom after parting with a quarter. I was able to make an elderly woman's day with a bargain priced stove she desperately needed and we included delivery and set up.

Just want to tell you, guru, I've been facing the inevitability of having a garage sale, myself (actually, I should probably call it a "This Needs to be Held in the Town Hall Sale") and have been dreading it, mainly because, in all likelihood, I'll have to accomplish it alone.
I feel better, though, about doing it, now, having read your post. It sounds like more fun than trouble, and, I could use some neighbor knowledge right now.
Chin up Gail Rae! I had a blast and plan to do it again in the fall as a fund-raiser for my son's school.
