My mother is a real sweetheart, but at 84 she's not thinking too clearly these days. Recently we flew her back to Indiana so she could see her sisters for 11 days, their old house Indiana we still have so she was going to stay there with my brother who has been trying to sell that home. All is fine, right?
Well, mother wanted to have a garage sale while she was up there and there was no harm in that as mom & dad still had things they needed to get rid of. Mom always enjoyed having garage sales so she was pretty excited about it. All is fine, right?
Well, my brother got her setup in the garage and then he left for the morning to take care of his personal business. A few hours later he comes back and he goes into his closet to grab a new shirt but they were all gone, so where his pants and jackets, etc. Came to find out that mother had remembered that closet being my father's so while my brother was gone she took all the clothes out of it and she sold them in the garage sale! Needles to say, my brother now understands mother's over all health situation much better. But at least he's laughing about the $14 and change he got for all his clothes.
