We were directed to a garage by a gray haired woman with a broad grin and deep wrinkles standing at the end of the driveway, she was still putting up a sign. Linda and I both looked at each other and decided we already liked her, then we got out of the Suburban and met Mary, and knew we'd been right.
We followed her to the garage where she hit a button and the doors went up to display tables of housewares and a clothesline with sweaters, housecoats and dresses hanging from it. As we poked around her belongings Mary told us how much she loved yard saleing herself and pointed out Avon jewelry she thought we might like.Then, as I made a small pile of items, she pointed to an empty "Stay Free Panty Liner" box and said, "I'll give you that to put your stuff in, can't give it to a man or he might freak out." We had a good laugh at that and then she told us how she remembered when panty liners first came out with the adhesive strip instead of the belts and that she wasn't sure which way they stuck, up or down...more laughter.
Once we'd both spent our dollar and listened to a few more of Mary's stories, Linda and I climbed back into the Suburban. Mary waved to us and wished us a great day.
We were off to a good start.
