My friends laugh at me when I tell them that my car automatically starts to shimmy and slows down when garages sales and curbside junk is near. I ain’t even kidding! I’m always on the lookout for roadside treasures and when I spotted these leftovers, the wheels immediately started turning in my head. Oh, the […]
