Garage Sales

My mom is a southern woman and a pastor's wife-which translates to sweet and polite. However when it comes to buying things she can be cut throat :o) She used to love to go to Garage Sales. My sisters and I used to go with her from time. One thing she did was to "shop" and would get lots of clothes and items and would always barter with the lady who was selling stuff, but sometimes would offer unrealistic prices. For example, 2 huge bags of clothes my mom would say would you take 2 dollars or something for it. Surprisingly though sometimes she would offer something and they would say yes! Its crazy. ALSO while driving up to the next garage sale she would slow down, look, and get a feel for a garage sale and if it did not look good she would speed up and drive away and say OUTLOUD, that there was nothing but junk here and SOMETIMES our windows would be down! We would throw ourselves in the floorboard from laughing and trying to hide, and almost I think she did it to embarrass us and make us laugh. I have been laughing as I type this post and remembering just how fun those Saturday mornings were with my mom.
