Making the Sale

Our neighbors across the street had a garage sale last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They asked us to join in the drudgery fun. I got rid of loads of junk little treasures. And made a little cash while I was at it.

Doodle and Bug had fun terrorizing the place helping while I was working the sale. Bug was into everything and covered in dirt by the end of each day. (Garage floors in Minnesota get dirrrrtttty!) Our neighbors also have a black poodle, so you can imagine that Bug was in heaven everytime she got to see that dog. She's obssessed. In her own words, "Dog, dog. Woof, woof. More dog."

On Saturday, little Miss Doodle enjoyed working her first ever lemonade stand. I'm happy to report that she was extremely succesful. She even had some (kind) people give her quarters even though they weren't taking any lemonade. And at least one person gave her a tip because she was so helpful. When we got home we only had two lemonades left, out of a box of twenty. (Don't count how many lemonades Doodle snagged while she was working. Having a job is thirsty business after all.)

I think she is going to be a wonderful saleswoman one day. She is very aggressive. She would follow approach people and ask them if they wanted lemonade. And on the days that she didn't have the lemonade stand set up she was busy asking them if they wanted to buy her Dorothy book.*





*She had picked out something from her room to sell, and it was a copy of The Wizard of Oz. (Don't worry we have another, slightly different copy of it.) And yes, she did manage to sell it. Bless that nice woman's heart.
