the NAF sale

I'm not exactly sure what NAF stands for, but what it means is that the hotel on base had a big garage sale. It was a obviously a bigger deal than Peter and I thought it would be since people started lining up a half hour before the sale started, waiting to get in and get the good deals. Peter and I got there about 2 minutes before the doors opened and watched as the first people in line sprinted through the doors as soon as they were allowed. Was it worth it? Yes. Things were selling fast, within 20 minutes most items had a SOLD sticker on it and there was an buzzing energy about the place as people scurried around. I'm not sure what the early birds walked away with, but we couldn't be happier with what we bought. Lamps for our whole house, dresser and night stands, a buffet table, picture frames and a green-striped, brass studded reading chair, all for $39. So we have re-arranged the living room/dining room, set up the lamps and put in the dresser and night stands. The house looks so transformed and homey now and we will always have a piece of Sheppard AFB with us when we move.
