Every year, Semior Services throws a Texas-sized Garage Sale to support their Meals on Wheels program. I have been the last two years and: It. Is. Insane. The first day you have to spend $3 to get in on all the bargains and people come with push carts, plastic tubs strapped to luggage dollies, giant plastic bags and anything they can use to haul away their purchases. It is quite the manic scene to behold...but I did come away with some treasures!
