THE LORNA ROAD MINI-MALL

It's Saturday morning and I'm hanging at my yard sale!  This is the same yard sale that we decided to have Wednesday afternoon.  Whatever!!!  It's raining...it's been raining since yesterday.  Here are a few yard sale quirks...

One...when it rains.

Two...the yard sale is advertised to start at 8:00 a.m.  You start pricing your items the night before around 10:00 p.m.  You go to bed around 2:00 a.m. and people show up at 5:00 a.m. to talk you down on your prices so they can take them to their house and sell them at their yard sale!

Three...Someone offers you .50 cents for an item that's priced $1.00 (that you know you spent $25.00 for originally)...and you say yes, feeling filled with the Spirit...and they hand you a $20 to pay for it which is sitting next to 2 $100 bills in their wallet and they drive away in their shiny Cadillac Escalade!

Next time I decide to have a yard sale, please remind me that it's much better to give than receive!

Bring it on Hannah Home!!!
