Mega Garage Sale!

Here it is, the stock from Garage Sale No. 1. How many will we do?

Would have loved a shot of the crowds, but we were too busy!

I think we have one of everything, if not several. People treated it
as an event, social catch up, and bargain hunter's paradise.

Some said it looked like a shop, and grandparents and parents told
their younger family members about 'remember when...'

It was highly educational in so many ways.
