I went to a couple nearby garage sales this afternoon and bought things like children's picture books, an orange baby hoodie, and a wind-up Winnie the Pooh. I debated about the Tickle Me Elmo but was pleased to see when I put it down a little boy promptly made it clear the Elmo was now his. I cooed over pink ruffled overalls and tiny Nike shoes and mini MSU baseball hats. I thought about buying the hat for the Panklet. I bought a set of books on home decorating and a box of discarded Coughlan books. Actually, I found this same Coughlan books at three different houses in this neighborhood. Maybe someday Jess's Coughlan book will be discarded at a garage sale.
