Having a HUGE yard sale
And I mean H U G E !!!!
I keep finding more to put out there. Yes, the kids really do think they're next! Cracks me up....
So the yard sale is this Friday & Saturday, but they are predicting a 50% chance of rain those 2 days!
I have so much stuff, I literally cannot keep it all in the garage. I NEED 
just to put my stuff out! I also need sunshine to get rid of as much stuff as possible. All of the money we make is going to BS3. So please pray for great weather and no rain!!!
Thanks, all!Sara

Fingers, eyes and toes crossed for good weather and everything selling. Maybe the weather will hold.
Here I've seen alot of stuff in the yard but the majority of stuff in the garage. Stuff in the yard to draw to the other. Maybe that would help.Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.

So I presold some stuff to a lady who saw my ad on Craigslist (I purposely told people they could come earlier in the week) - $41 worth! Nice!
I am going to advertise again tonight, too, and again in the am. And again on Sat. am. Still raining here. And plans for more both days. 
Pray harder!

Day 1 successful! We sold about half the stuff already, despite it being quite chilly and windy. But no rain!
Of course, guess what's predicted for tomorrow... :-/ It's also supposed to be colder than it was today, so prayers needed for no rain, less wind, and warmer temps! LOL Is that too much to ask???
ETA: We didn't sell enough to put everything in the garage, hence the hope for no rain.....
