Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

I love garage sales.  I had the grand total of four dollars in my pocket.  I bought a large print Bible for two dollars.  I was thrilled.  I also bought another Scrabble game for a dollar.  Scrabble is my favorite game and I was not going to turn down the purchase for one dollar.  She claimed all the pieces were there and they were.

I also bought a box of four puzzles–the kind you put together.  It even had the solutions if you wanted to cheat.  I knew my wife would love the puzzles.

I actually was short one dollar but I promised the lady (who is also a waitress at the nearby diner) I would give her the missing dollar another day and she agreed.

Garage sales are like serendipity.  You never know what you are going to find.  You end up buying “treasures” sometimes because you never ever would have paid the full price for that item.  There are always surprises.
