Yard Sales!

Today Andrea, Dani and Jule went to yard sales!

In America it is okay to sell your unused items in front of your home as long as you do not do this too often.  This is a very popular way to get junk out of your home.  Sometimes people just set up things in their front yards.  Other times we call it "garage sale" because they'll put the things in garage.  Normally this happens on Fridays and Saturdays.  Homeowners will put signs at the streets to direct you to their home.




It is common for the things at a yard sale to be very cheap!  Normally clothing items would be maybe 25 cents or one dollar.  Furniture might be ten dollars.  The point is to just rid your home of things that you might normally throw away.  So to move things out, you simply price it so cheap that it's a great buy.

Today Jule's American grandpa sent the photos below to my cell phone.  He is currently driving on his motorcycle with his friends across the United States.  Although I worry when he goes on these long trips, I'm glad he's loving his life.  He will be back home before we arrive with Anita.

Here they were stuck in traffic.  Stau.  I know this German word!



Above they have arrived at Mount Rushmore.


The kids all ended up here tonight. Somehow I lasted line than they did.
