TWO DOWN—ONE TO GO
Of course I’m referring to our recent epidemic of Garage Sales. We have had two at our house. The third (and I hope last) one is in our daughter’s neighborhood in the western part of our town this Saturday morning.
We had rain at our first garage sale and sunny, hot weather for our second one. At least we didn’t have to constantly move things in and out of the garage the second time. We had more people at the second sale but not many more were in a “buying mode” but we did get rid of some things.
The best part was that at the end of the day of the second garage sale Am Vets came and hauled away everything we didn’t want. All we had to do was set it out at the end of our driveways.
That worked well but there were a lot of things we saved to take to our daughter’s neighborhood garage sale this Saturday morning. We also have a number of things which we are donating to “CITY LIGHT MISSION". Their work is with Prison Ministry. Besides ministering to folk in the prisons, they assist people who have been released from prison get re-established in society. We have things they can use and they also will come pick them up.
We figured out that between all of us, we had well in excess of 40 hours invested in the two garage sales. If you figured out what we actually made, it figures out to pennies per hour. It is even worse that we didn’t get rid of everything, The item of which we still have the largest quantity is BOOKS! We have BOOKS, BOOKS AND MORE BOOKS! I’m not sure how to get rid of them. Half Priced Book Store, maybe.
I told Karon that there are a lot of “4-letter words” that I don’t use and I don’t want to hear others use either. But there are two words I don’t want to hear used in my presence: GARAGE SALE!
