Yard Sale

June 10, 2006
We spent every spare moment this past week knee deep in "junk" at home, and discovering price tags all over ourselves as we walked around in public. Then, the big day arrived: Yard Sale Day! Our day began at 6:00 am, as we set up tables, and set up our items for sale. There was so much stuff! Friends made some really incredible donations.

It was pretty cloudy all day, but we had a slow stream of people walking through our yard. It was obvious that high gas prices have really curtailed people's "garage sale-ing" habits, but we were still able to make almost $200! None of the large items (refrigerator, computer, etc.) sold, so we may try to put them in the classified ads later.

One of the funniest moments was when a man was so excited to "test-drive" his new bike, that he accidently crashed it into his SUV parked alongside it. He decided to ride the bike home, and left his wife to drive the car!

We loaded up my car with the leftover clothing items to donate to a local Christian mission organization this week. We praise God for the blessing of these additional funds! (Although we're still sore from sitting on the concrete porch steps all day!)
