The Estate Sale
There's an estate sale at Mom's this weekend. My brother, sister and I have all taken what has the most emotional resonance or practical use to us; everything else is just stuff. Old Christmas lights, Tupperware, tchotchkes, and furniture that the cats have clawed to bits -- who would buy that?
More people than I could imagine.
We're staying out of the sale organizers' way, but I couldn't resist driving by. Cars are parked on both sides of the street, and there's a steady stream of people going in and out of the house. Most of them seem to be very old, which makes me wonder...
Is there an "estate sale swap"? Do they buy something knowing it's just going to be part of their estate sale in a few months or years?
