No More Summer Garage Sales
Last weekend my wife and I held a garage sale with another couple at their place. We had pretty high hopes this year because the sale at our place last year was a success. The sale this year started Friday morning and, while we enjoyed visiting with our friends and the people that attended the sale, by early afternoon on Saturday we agreed to call it quits and shut down. Our main reason was the heat, not to mention my wife had some how acquired a quickly spreading rash and had managed to twist both of her ankles. Limping around itching herself in 90 something degree heat didn’t seem to be something she was enjoying.
Summers here in Iowa, especially during July and August, can be brutal. A hot day in an arid part of the country is still hot, but usually the humidity is low. Not here! On a hot day in Iowa the whole state can turn into a corn and soybean fed sauna. To the most masochistic of us these are the best conditions to hop on a bicycle and take a week to ride across the entire state. As for my wife and I we agreed that the next garage sale will be a spring or fall affair.
