When my youngest daughter was just an infant. I would help my Aunt Georgie and Uncle Harold with their garage sales. We always had a good time, my Aunt would always cook something really yummy for lunch and some extra for me to take home. As I was helping set things up. My Uncle would pull me aside and insist I pick out things I wanted for the kids (had 3 at the time) clothes, toys etc. My Aunt would do the same when Uncle Harold was out of earshot...lol They both would say, "Go pick out a few things and put them in your car (before the other one sees)....lol
I would mainly pick up some clothes for the kids.
Also I was the unofficial chauffeur driving them to doctor appointments, to the grocery store and other errands. Since Uncle Harold had throat cancer and could not drive anymore due to all the side effects of the meds he took and chemo. Aunt Georgie never drove a day in her life. I never asked for money even though it was offered, so Aunt Georgie would buy some groceries for us (very sneaky I might add) she and Mom would go shopping and drop the stuff off at my house.
