During the first year of Saturday morning yard sales, my mother became quite interested in what Johanna and I found. So began the other part of my Saturday morns: calling Mom with the yard sale report. She looked forward to hearing of our adventures, finds, and the morning experience in toto. Mom began to put in requests and that made my searches more fun. Often you don't see anything for yourself but if you are shopping for others, then the possibilities increase making the "hunt" more interesting and rewarding. Mom passed away January 28th 2011 and I have missed checking in with her. So I believe that really was the inspiration for this blog. Maybe I am still checking in with her in some way as I "check in" with anyone who likes seeing what our Saturday hunt was like. I miss you Mom.
