Yard Sailing is More Fun that Holding Your Own

The day started earlier than I would have liked, but I was still late getting to our yard sale this morning. Sharon and Ron were out at 6:00 setting up. I wasn't there until after 8:00. I unloaded my car and set things out. Sharon had already unloaded her car full of things from my house that we packed up yesterday afternoon. The 3 of us sat under a canopy all day - great shade from the hot sun. The temperature was in the high 80's. We packed up around 1:30. What didn't sell or wasn't wanted by any of us ended up in Ron's van, and he took it to The Mission Store as a donation. We saved out a few things, not much at all - I didn't want the things back in the house again. I tried to entice people by telling them everything was 50% off the prices marked, but that didn't seem to make much of an impression.

This is it. After doing 3 yard sales this spring, we've had it. No more. Way too much work for a pittance of a return.

Jim will be coming home tomorrow around 5 pm from his wood turning symposium in Virginia. He called late this afternoon, but I was napping and groggy, and I don't remember much of what we said. I know he called David and talked to him for a while. He sat in on classes and demos and seemed to be enjoying the whole experience. It will be good to have him back safe at home. Oh, I did get pizza for dinner tonight - I brought home an individual one from the nearby Pizza Hut. Yum!
