Today is the day of The Great Glebe Garage Sale. Actually they’re a bunch of yard sales mostly, but I like all the g’s. Anyway, I’m not normally into garage/yard sailing, but today I really got into it and Jenn and I walked home with not a few steals—of course, we did pay for the stuff, but it felt like a steal to me.
Let me mention, before I continue, that today was day two of A Week(end) with the Fouldses for the Caldwells. We went to dinner and a movie (Revenge of the Sith) with them last night—I’ll report on that later—and we inevitably end up going to the same church most Sundays—rounding out the weekend. Andrew and Anne showed up just after 8:00am and we hit the streets together.
My first category of swag is the musical kind. I missed out on a really good turntable because I hesitated—apparently something veterans of yard sailing could have warned me about—but I did get four great CD’s at reasonable (5$) prices. The Best of George Harrison (1976), With the Beatles (1963), Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) and Buddy & Julie Miller (2001)—which I count as a real score. I was also given another CD for free because apparently, I’m a music lover. I guess that also means I’m a good customer, or a sucker.
Category number two is “games.” I picked up a copy of Ravensburger’s Labyrinth card game card game and Civilization II (for the Mac.) Three buck for the both. I played lots of CivII at Bethany and am happy to have a copy for myself now.
Jenn got a bunch more Christmas shopping done (don’t worry, a number of stores in the glebe were selling overstock at crazy prices, so it’s not old junk.) In particular, we got a really cool Christmas tree topper/star for $2. The sale price was $40! Not bad. Also were some misc things for a buck or less.
Anyways (archaic spelling,) we had a really good time and even continued when the Caldwells had to bow out. So, excuse me, I’ve got some CD’s to rip!
