Yard Sale

The town we live in has a community wide yard sale every year on the Saturday of the Father’s day weekend.  When we first starting packing up the farm house for the move, I knew I would have stuff for the sale.  Stuff we were no longer liked, stuff we no longer using and definitely stuff we no longer needed.

Last week I was busy.  Busy getting all those boxes unpacked and somewhat organized for the sale.

We arose early Saturday morning, gearing up for what I hoped would be a profitable day. As we set everything out, some on tables, other things were put on the driveway; hoping that someone else could use the things we no longer had need for.

I couldn’t believe how quickly the droves of people came.  It kind of felt weird having people look over our stuff, silently evaluating the price, the quality and whether or not they were willing part with their hard earned money.

By lunchtime the crowds had thinned out considerably.  And by 2 o’clock we closed up shop.

Not only did we make some money - but and this is more important, we cleaned out the garage! 

Unfortunately we did not sell everything in our sale and rather than hang onto it for another year, we decided to donate our stuff to a couple of the thrift stores in town.

Overall, I felt the day was a success.
