Happy Father’s Day with a few leftover garage sale photos
Posted By RichC on June 18, 2023
It was an end of the week “Safety Town graduation” and garage sale for Katelyn, Brenda and the girls (and Saturday sale for Drew) as they “unloaded” some stuff before having to move it. They did well and on top of it was a great time to be together (from what I’ve heard).
All in all financially, it is challenging to weigh the time/effort vs money aspect of doing it, but from the numbers still worked out in their favor. Great job … especially instilling the time honored “Lemonade Stand” entrepreneurship lesson by my granddaughters. Love it!
I’m spending Father’s Day getting a few old toys from our kids ready for my granddaughters this summer. Cleaning, repairing and hoping they might be enjoyed by the next generation (probably should have just sold them in a garage sale!)
The Kettler Car was a personal favorite of mine, and beside needing a gearbox repaired, is ready to go. The old worn-out BMX bike of Taylor’s needs even more TLC and parts, but it might still be a bit large, so I’ve ordered new brake cables (they were entirely gone — I’m not sure how Taylor could even ride it without brakes?)
While at it with the bike, I dug out my old Jamis bike (now 40 years old) and besides being heavy by today’s standard, might still be rideable? So I’m going to replace the cracked and flat tires and probably the bearing in the crank. Hopefully it will be rideable so that I can keep up with my granddaughters? Perhaps I should “electrify it???” Oh, I can feel a fun project coming on!
Anyway, Happy Father’s Day … and will include a bit of humor from “Dad’s back in the day” … so true!
