Another Yard Sale??!!

You would think after the last yard sale in June that I would never ever even think about another one. I did. David was still in denial up till the friday before. My parents, brother and sister in law were out of town and very thankfull for the long planned trip they were on. I felt guilty asking friends to come again and help after the last one. So, it was Sam, David and me. Our friend Chris did come in the morning for a bit to help move heavy items. Our friend Jean came and brought wonderfully yummy, gooey chocolate chip cookies.

We decided to just do a one day only, blow out sale. Ok, I decided to do it. We still had a lot left from the last sale and the end is in sight for our adoption, so I am starting to panic. We had a few more donations to add to the pile and all the stuff from last time. We made about $450 and got rid of everything. The side benifit is that I got enough clothes for Sam for the fall, I only had to buy him new shoes. I got some nice "new" work clothes too.

I am putting this in writting and you can all hold me to it. I, Rachel Stolpe, promise to never, ever have another yard sale. There, I said it. I posted it, I have to stick to it.

Thank you to everyone who donated items, shopped and supported our efforts.
