Readers’ Tips for Keeping the Love Alive, Installment V (originally published in True Romance, August 2006)
Going back a few years, when my husband found excitement in flea markets and garage sales, I remember thinking we could be doing other things together on weekends. He was hooked, so instead of fighting him, I decided to join him on his bargain hunts. It turned out to be great fun, and we really did find some good bargains along the way.
We’ve slowed down in recent years, but with good weather coming up, maybe we’ll give it one last hurrah this year. And what’s next on the agenda?
Perhaps our own garage sale. How else can we get rid of the many things we accumulated on our bargain-hunting trips? This should be a great joint effort, especially in having fun together, and that’s what really counts…being together.
