Garage Sale & Other Updates

Well I’m off the hook for the garage sale I was going to do with a friend.  At least for now.  She wasn’t quite ready – still had closets to go through – so we put it off for a few weeks.

Thanks for those who left suggestions.  I listened and have included some of the items mentioned and have been inspired by the others to look for more things.

I did find this link "How to Generate More Cash This Christmas" that I thought had good suggestions.  Some of the things mentioned I had already cleaned out of my closets and given to thrift stores and to missions in Mexico.  But it still gave me food for thought.

The end of this week has been rather busy.  My husband poured concrete for a driveway here at our house yesterday and didn’t finish up until about 6:00 last night.  We had a family over for supper and then after that a whole passel of young people came over to play some walleyball.  They were here till almost midnight.  Then Seth and my hubby left on a bull elk hunt this morning.  (This is Seth’s first bull elk tag and so he’s quite thrilled.  It’s hard to get drawn for these hunts here in Arizona.  I don’t think he got any sleep last night because he had to pack and then they left at about 2a.m.)  We’ve had 3 people we know pass away.  I’ll be preparing some food for one of the memorial services. 

So I think it was just as well that our garage sale was cancelled until next month.

Here’s some pictures of the concrete pour the boys and Russell have been doing.

Sometimes you just need a little bit more weight on the end of your pole.  So Audrey got a free ride!

    I laughed so hard at your garage sale help post, Elizabeth! I can so identify! We have been really trying to declutter since it looks like after 4 years of prayer, we will finally be moving to Missouri!

    This means getting rid of a lot of things. Since we have no neighbors, we have tried ebay, but w/o much success. Oh well, at least we can be successful at decluttering.

    I like your idea of saving the $1000. Sometimes that's the difference between a set-back and a crisis.

    The concrete looks great! I know it's not easy to do that right.

    I enjoy keeping up with your family on the blog!
