So today my mom and I went Garage Saling (a term my mom coined). We got up at 8 AM and set sail (haha get it, SAIL, garage SALE). My older sister usually comes but she decided to sleep in today.
Now before I go on any further I must tell you that my mother LOVES garage sales. She can find the dumbest shit and fix it up (well my dad usually fixes it) and sell it in her antique store for about 10 times what she originally paid. She is a genius.
So, here we are, a great Mother/Daughter team rummaging through other people's crap. We found a few gems here and there and even some furniture pieces for our new vacation home in the GREAT Ely, Nevada (don't ask, I guess it's a "cute little town").
What usually happens when my mom, sister, and I go out for these sales is we slowly drive by and look at everything they have to offer and if we spot something good we pull over. But if all they have are some old shoes and a handful of those stuffed animals that you win at carnivals then my sister rolls down the window and yells "WEAK!" and then we speed away.
Horrible? Probably. Hilarious? Definitely.
Anyway, my mom and I pulled into an Estate Sale. That is when a WHOLE HOUSE is just opened up and it's like a free-for-all. You can buy anything from some dishes to a used toothbrush (I'm not joking about the used toothbrush, I saw one today with a price tag on it for 25 cents).
At the end of the day we drove home with everything piled into the bed of my truck and my lucky dad got to unload it :)
