Small town USA! We had a garage sale today, only made about $150 dollars, but met all our neighbors.
This was quite a different experience from our LA garage sale where we made $800, and met no one.
Today people were almost as curious about us as our junk, what do we do, what brought us here, yada yada yada! I don't believe we made any new "besties," but everyone was very nice.
To celebrate the success of our garage sale and get out of the house, I decided to get a mani/pedi tonight!! First of all, my nails turned out great, (no they didn't have hot stones for the pedi - nothing will compare to Angel Nails in Santa Ana!) Here's the weird part, she didn't take my Visa card! What? No, it wasn't declined - she simply said cash or check! WHAT? People still take checks!? I was amazed - I even told her so, she said, "it's a small town, I maybe get 1 0r 2 bad checks a year."
My neighbors say that a lot of people don't lock their doors around here...people trust people here! I don't know that I'll ever get used to that, but it is a nice thought! Off to bed, doors locked!
