Oh well,

We tried again with the garage sale and it was a huge bust. I think everyone in this county must have tried to sell all their worldly goods. Hundreds of sales, and of course there weren't any near us and we had little visitors. I think my DIL said we made about .05 an hour..................lol
Our area is usually a good area to have a sale but certainly not yesterday. Of course we weren't counting on getting rich, however it would have been nice to make some. The weather was ok for the most part, at least we didn't bake. We did have a very brief bit of rain but it stopped quickly, by then we had called the Salvation Army to please come and haul it off. And they did, in a way it made me feel better because they had told me to have it ready and they would pick it up about 2:30 and they didn't make it until a little before 4. The driver had told me they had a "garage sale" to pick up and it took 3 loads, the whole house full of furniture and all to take care of. Furniture usually sells very quickly, theirs hadn't, so I felt much better that others had had just as much problems with a sale as we did. My craft sale items we kept to take to the store where I put my items at. They have a sidewalk sale twice a year and use the money to supplement expenses. So my items will help boost the budget for them and make my "stuff "useful. The granddaughters donated the baby items gladly to our other granddaughter for her baby to be. No one kept any of the "clean sweep" goodies back. I was proud of all of them, and myself. Its nice to have areas that are no longer packed up with ' junk'.
