The Sale and the Swimmer
Our almost-neighborhood hosted its annual neighborhood garage sale yesterday. Grama, you would've loved it. Nothing beats a treasured sale - she taught me that - and you betchta, I took full advantage of my bartering skills and walked away a winner.
We bought this gigantic mirror.
Originally $150, got it for $35.
We bought a one-time used Hoover carpet cleaner for $40. Originally somewhere in the range of $280. The lady was feeling so generous that she proceede to also throw in a spot vacuum cleaner, 3 bottles of soap, and a Moby wrap carrier, almost brand new.
We bought 6 solid wooden dining room chairs for $50 with plenty of excitement about their potential once Adam gets a sander and some fresh paint on them.
And finally, I bought a $2 decanter for Dad's whiskey from an older man who told me his grandmother used to drink her scotch from it.
That's right, we won!
Now, we have a vacuum to shampoo our carpets when we move in, chairs to sit at while we eat, and a mirror to decorate with someday. Yay!
And after a long day of bargain hunting, we were ready for some fun in the sun. Poolside!

Her learning to dunk!
And her learning to kick kick kick!
