My New Guest House

My new guest house is open and ready for guests. I love being a hostess and I'm pretty excited about this new venture.  Since I bought a duplex this Spring, we will be living in half and renting the other half for short term rentals.  So, send me your extended family, university guests and interviewees.  I'll make sure they are comfortable and well cared for.  We are happy to host families with kids of all ages too.  Our house is just a few blocks from the Aquatic Center.  The website is http://site.juliasguesthouse.com.

Too cheap for yard sales?

Ok, you can confess it in the privacy of your own mind... do you go to garage sales and yard sales or to Goodwill and think..."that's kind of expensive." Here's a solution. Map out the local yard sales that will be going on in your town on a summer Saturday morning.  Skip them and enjoy your Saturday morning at home.  About 2:00 in the afternoon when everyone has given up, drive the garage sale circuit and see what they have put on the curb with a big FREE sign.  Last week, I found a TV stand this way.  Free is even better than cheap!
