Garage Sale

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, Rachel and I got up early to get ready for the garage sale.  As we've talked about earlier in the blog, Rachel has been planning for the garage sale for a few weeks now.  She's gone through the boys' toys and their clothes and had everything ready to put out this morning.  Our neighbor, Rita, took care of advertising the garage sale on Craigslist.  Rachel also put something on the Circle C Garage Sale page on Facebook.  The garage sale was set to start at 8am.

Last time we sold popcorn and sodas for a dollar each.   The boys got the proceeds from those sales.  They made quite a bit of money on that last time.

The first people came around 7:30 which we expected.  But then, very few people came.  It was by far the worst garage sale that we've had.  There was just no traffic.  It wasn't that people didn't want the stuff, there was just no people.  As for the boys, we only sold 3 cans of soda and no popcorn.

Around 11:30 we started to clean up.  We loaded just about everything into my car.  Then we had lunch.  We dropped Evan off at Wade's house and then went to Goodwill and donated anything we didn't sell.  Then we drove to Home Depot and got some things we've need including a fan for Evan's room and one for the game room.

Evan stayed at Wade's until 5.  We picked him up and went to Costco and then to Chipotle for dinner.

When we came home, we walked Lizzy to Grandma and Papa's.  We needed to get the mail and check on the house.  Lizzy had her best walk since her surgery.  She was moving much more quickly and seemed to be more spry.

The boys are about to go to bed.

Until next time....
