Well, fall is coming and that means garage spring cleaning in our home.  All the tools get organized, golf bags are cleaned out, and the garage floor is scrubbed clean.  It’s a family affair with all the children invited (ordered) to help out.

The day actually turns out good  and ending in ice-cream, but we find the oddest items.  There are always more tools than we own, meaning our neighbors are missing a few.  And tools missing from our garage are probably at the Jones garage when they had a car problem or house project.  Last year we found a spare tire we knew nothing about and we are still trying to figure that one out.  I think the best prize we’ve ever found in our garage clean out day is a baby doll carriage.  We asked all our neighbors but no one knows where it came from.

Our yearly garage clean out day has become a tradition in our family that will never go away.  I’ll make a bet our children will do the same with their families.  And so on and so forth.
