Fiasco

I NEVER thought I would ever say in June, in Texas, please no more rain for awhile. Friday, we got up early and set up for our garage sale. Our son Tim came and helped us, which we needed, 9 tables! all stacked deep. We had fairly brisk sales for awhile, then the clouds got heavy, the wind picked up and we started to put every thing back. One of our neighbors came over and help hubby pick up the tables, with everything on them, and put them in the garage. We had a canopy with 3 tables in it but the wind got up! We barely got it down before the rain hit. This was just before 11AM. Needless to say the garage sale was officially over. It took 8 trips to the house just to take the clothes in....
Other neighbors helped take in furniture that rain wouldn't hurt, to the house. It took nearly an hour to put things away.
So, we talked to all the family and decided to have a bargain sale the next day, Saturday morning, Carol and Becky said they would come over to help us- I set the alarm clock and dragged my self to bed early. I wasted my time because early in the morning, lightning, thunder and more rain hit hard. Becky called and asked if we were still planning to have the sale just before my alarm went off, I heard the rain and told her, no way.
To make a story short, we didn't have to get up early, and the whole garage sale turned into a fiasco.
If the rain holds out we are going to try again next Saturday. It's a 30%chance of rain then, maybe it will NOT rain, we sure hope not. Strange weather!!!! We all agree that we will give nice discounts on all the remaining stuff. Sad thing is, other than clothes and baby stuff, we didn't even get to get all of Carol and his families stuff put out.

Some charity may wind up with some great things......................
