Ever since my ex-wife moved out of the house (I got the house and the dog and she got almost everything else) I have been going to garage sales. It is a great way to rebuild, and an even better way to meet people. One Thursday, I had an unexpected day off, so I stopped at a house, just a couple blocks from my own, with a Garage Sale sign out front. I found a few kitchen items, and handed the money to the two attractive women sitting at a card table. They appeared to be in their early 40's and one spotted the white band on my otherwise tanned left hand. The blue-eyed blonde smiled and said to her brown-eyed friend " Hmmm... looks like someone is starting over ".
I had just turned 58, and a woman in her 40's is mature enough to be interesting and still young enough to be exciting, so I said " yes, but I am learning that being pleasantly single again does require learning a few new tricks and finding ways to replace old habits. "
In that half-darkened garage, those brown eyes just locked on to mine and after an awkward silence, I heard her say, " it always goes better if you have a teacher."
That was when I noticed that her left hand was also bare. Then she blushed, and her friend said " Susan, maybe the gentlemen would be interested in some of the furniture that we didn't have time to haul out into the garage. " Then her friend smiled and added " take your time, if you are not back by 5, I'll just lock up
Thinking that this might be an opportunity that does not happen very often, I said " well, yes, I did lose about half of the furniture in the settlement."
A few more people had arrived and Susan said " follow the walk around the side of the house, and I'll meet you at the front door. No sooner had I gotten inside than she reached up and wrapped her arms around my neck and our lips met, our mouths opened and our tongues danced.
When we game up for air, she whispered " I think there is a bed in the guestroom that might interest you." She took my hand and led me down the hall, and said. " When our son started playing the drums, we sound proofed the walls and put in triple pane windows. We won't disturb anyone back here. " We kissed again behind the locked door and then she broke free, pulled up her skirt, and hooked her thumbs on the waist band of her panties and fell back on the bed.
