I remember you taking me on one of those garage sale days when we went home one weekend from college! Growing up in the country I kind of missed out on that life, but I do have a memory of going to one in Omaha after we moved to Iowa…maybe when visiting my Gram. I got a clear plastic box with a hinge that had seashells in it for ten cents. I thought it was so beautiful and amazing. I yearned to go to more garage sales after that. But comic books ❤️ We had so many from a pharmacist friend who gave us his old ones he didn’t sell. Superman, Archie, Donald Duck, Justice League…oy to find a Super Girl. We read every last one. Lastly, guitar lass Catholics. I love that. Never heard it before but that’s what we were. I was the one playing some of the time in grade school. Probably the only reason I stuck around as long as I did. I am grateful for that kind of school as a child 😉

Thank you for sending the comic pics, Cycy! You were always the best adventure pal. Remember flying in to Neola together on that small plane?
Lovely read, Jennifer. Makes me want to find a garage sale or two.
Me too. 🥹
I know what I’ll be doing this weekend…
