Cancelled if rain

Filed under: — jen

Last Saturday, after many delays due to uncooperative weather and general laziness, we finally had our garage sale. We were joined by J and K - no, not that J and K - this J and that K.

J helped out by fetching the requisite Saturday morning Tim’s and K contributed a lovely assortment of teapots among other things to the sale.

After the sale was over, we all headed over to Annie’s in Ste Anne-de-Bellevue for a late, lazy and celebratory lunch consisting mainly of unhealthy deep-fried things. We sat outside on the terrace and people and boat-watched and made snide comments about both.

The sale was very successful, and Mark and I made a whopping profit of $750.00.

In the olden days, I would have spent our profits on something decadent and/or silly. Now that I am old, mature and responsible, I immediately made an RRSP contribution. (Bo-ring!)

Let’s hear it for sunny Saturdays, coffee and donuts, greasy lunches, friends and fiscal responsibility!

    You are the best person to do a garage sale with. I’m shipping you over here if we ever need to unload a bunch of stuff in a car boot sale.

    I like all of your list except fiscal responsibility. In fact, I am feeling very much like some fiscal IRresonsibility. Purely for theurapeutic reasons you understand…

    Lady - send me a ticket :)

    DaFFy - fiscal irresponsibility is much more fun…at least in the short term.

    Dawn - it’s easy, just raid your husband’s stuff, you know, watches, Palm Pilot, DVDs, CDs etc… ;)
