Yeah. See, the thing is, you don’t actually sell garages at a garage sale. And don’t get me started on grammar and spelling. Or the idea that the person considering buying this rocket scientist’s home might wonder what happened to the garage doors that came with the house.

Whew. Now I feel better. Guess I was a little cranky due to the lack of honest-to-Gawd estate sales this week….

  1. Mary Kay, I need your expertise. What makes a better vacation destination: Charleston or Savannah? I am not interested in golf or sailing, just in good food, quaint neighborhoods, and a real taste of southern living.

  2. Why Paul, of course I’m gonna say Savannah. It’s got everything you’re looking for, walkable, manageable, charming, quaint neighborhoods. But then, I love Savannah! Stay at one of the inns downtown, or out at Tybee Island, at one of the Mermaid Cottages. Ride a bike, stroll around. Enjoy!

  3. Mary Kay,
    You are up “early” posting. Funny, my daughter attended Young Harris College and will be married in Blairsville this July.
    Somehow, I can see this post coming from there. So innocent yet so very funny~! Can’t wait for an upcoming “Savannah” Vacation, it’s on my list.
    Fondly,
