Okay. So if you asked my pets - they would have something to say about the coolness of my home. I do like it cold. But that is what a gaslog is for - keeping the pets warm! Parker, my German Shepherd mix, seems to be pleased about the warmth of the lovely fireplace.

Walden on Lake Houston is having its Community Garage Sale tomorrow, Saturday, October 24. This community-wide event always brings out the shoppers! It's a great way for residents of Walden on Lake Houston to have traffic driven to their garage sales by community advertising.

I have a friend who is an expert on how to set up a garage sale. So, anytime I wanted to participate in the Walden on Lake Houston Community Garage Sale - I called Sue for assistance! She would come over and set up the sale with me. Here are her rules:

• Departments. Categorize everything for sale. Kitchen, clothing, jewelry, toys, books & 8-Tracks (LOL-I guess that would be music). You get the idea. This makes your garage sale shopper-friendly.
• Payment. Wear a fanny pack for your cash. Don't use a cash box that could go missing if it's busy and you turn your back. Not that it would happen but I'm just saying.
• Security. Don't let strangers in your house. Every year someone would inevitably ask if they could use the bathroom. I let them a few times (sucker for kids) but it made me a bit nervous each time.
• Workers. Enlist your husband to help. Guys are great negotiators. They are willing to wring that extra 25 cents right out of that 10-year-old's hand. (not-so-much a sucker for kids) Plus when he says later that he can't believe you sold your Dooney-Bourke handbag for $4.35, you can come right back with "What about your attempt to sell the cat? What was that about?"

I have another friend whose husband wanted to hold the garage sale. She told him to go for it. She wasn't going to get involved. A few weeks after the sale, he decided to take over cutting the lawn from the service they had been using. My friend asked, "Are you going to use the weed-whacker for the entire lawn? Because you sold your lawn mower in the garage sale." Oh.

Funny stuff these weekend shopping events. If you have time, come on by the Walden on Lake Houston Community Garage Sale. It is sure to give you a few stories to share with your friends (and maybe even a bargain or two!)
