My family and I have developed a new past time: Garage sale-ing. Of course other folks have no doubt been doing this for awhile, but its new for us. We look through the local paper to find out where they’re having yard sales and then drive to them and look for things to buy. It’s a lot of fun and sometimes we find some good deals.

I mostly look for books and movies. My mom found some antique silver pieces, and my brother made some good deals on ebay. Recently, I got a videocamera that doesn’t appear to work and a lamp, pictured here to the left. I’m hoping to fix the video camera, or figure out how it works.

As for the lamp, I just thought it looked neat. It didn’t have the lampshade when I got it. I paid a dollar for it.  Pretty cool.

Anyway, it’s fun stuff.
