Just returned home from the "Monster Garage Sale", which is the 3rd one they have held so far.  They have started doing them bi-annually at the big civic center in Quincy, IL.  It is sooo fun!  They have 150 spaces full of all kinds of bargains... toys, clothes, antiques, etc etc etc!  I talked my mom into going with me this time.  Left home at 4:45 am, got there at 6 am, stood outside 30 minutes (brrr) then stood inside another 30 minutes until the start time of 7.  It is so much fun... especially if you are a shopping junky, like me, who starts looking forward to "Black Friday" in the summer!

 We got some good stuff, and was ready for lunch at Burger King at 10:30 am
