    Default It was Yard Sale day!!

    Our town has an annual yard sale weekend.... everyone locally who wants to have a yard sale does and it is advertised. Well...today was the day... it forcasted rain and at 6:30 am when I was out in my front yard it was misty. I was discouraged and thought maybe I wouldnt do it for fear of lugging everything out only to have to take it in wet!! Against my better judgement we said what the heck and set everything up....people came by the dozens at a time!! My mom and sister were there selling stuff too. I made a total of $228.00!!! They each made over $100 so we were all very pleased. The rain held off and I got rid of one BIG lot of stuff! We then donated much of the stuff that didnt go...AWESOME DAY!!
