Today's Question(s): How do you feel about rummage sales (also called garage/yard/tag/sidewalk sales)? meh I have had one at my place - have had several in the past to clear out the clutter, what didn't sell was donated to Good Will or Salvation Army I have helped organize for someone else I stop every time I see one I'll stop occasionally I've never been to one Other? Prefer estate sales (these were great in Dallas and inside out of the heat!), have been to many that I could have furnished a whole house had I had the desire to.
Bonus Question(s): Are you a reader? Much more so in the past than I have been lately, that instilled a love for reading in my kiddos & in turn, their kiddos. If so, what kinds of books do you like to read? Fiction Do you have a favorite book, or one that has changed your life? Probably not, have enjoyed them all for the different perspectives they've shed.

I love, love rummage, garage and thrift sales!
I go them all the time, you never know what youre going to find.
Funny lyric, well, back in the day, when the group "Boston' came out, we did one of their songs in the band, called '"Peace of Mind".... I tried to write the lyrics on paper so we can learn it...theres a verse in there that says 'take a look ahead' and when you listen to the record, I swore it said 'tangle up your hair'! The guys in the band laughed it off though.
Have a good day everyone~~~
