For our family, this will be the summer we fell in love with (some would say, become addicted to...) yard sales. I don't know why this particular summer turned out to be a summer of yard sales for our family, but it did. I've included many of our finds on this blog and for my daily pictures. Not to crow too loudly, but we've been able to decorate our home from items bought at this summer's yard sales.
Then, last Saturday, we came across pure gold.
Well, gold to us.
We found a Guitar Hero guitar and two Guitar Hero games.
Years ago, we had several of those guitars and several games for the Nintendo Wii. Then, we gave them up--literally. We turned them in and didn't think much about it. Little did we know that a decade later, we'd miss those days.
So, what did we do when we missed something? We did what most of us do--we looked online to see how much it would cost to replace our beloved game. Turns out, a lot. It would cost several hundred dollars to replace the equipment.
At the yard sale, it cost $9 for a guitar and two games. Needless to say, there's been many smiles in our house this week.
Yes, as I sit in our living room, I look around and see several yard sale finds. But, the haul from last Saturday might have brought us the biggest smiles to our faces.
