I'm just getting back here ...you all saved my place!
DonnaH, Reading about your daughters fall makes me cringe! Poor her. I hope she is feeling better now. Its good to hear you are doing so well with your own health. That is really great. Love the story of the pushy lady. LOL!
Trudy, I hope you are feeling better. You will need all your strength for all the activities you have planned.
Sandi, I'm glad you had a good time at the play. I love going to musical plays but it's been a while since I've been able to.
Mary, About Fifty Shades, It is interesting how some books just kind of grab us even if we are not really sure we like them. I am curious so will most likely check it out.
Donna, Those are a lot of lanterns. Too bad they do not up keep the area. They should do something to keep it inviting for the tourist. It rained for a day and was drizzly the next but it never came down hard like in your area. The past few days have been a bit chilly especially at night. I love the cover of the NS book. It looks a bit like a Thomas Kincaid painting.
Cady, I saw that there had been another shooting in your area. Fifteen minutes away is very close. It is just so sad how people will do something like that. I hope the tips helped Maggie with her test. I've thought about trying to sell on ebay. Not cloths but some of my fathers older records and things like that but I doubt I will get around to that anytime soon.
We did end up having our garage sale last Saturday. We tried to organize things the night before onto tables I borrowed but after an hour or so of going through boxes, we got frustated and decieded to just open the door and toss clothes out that morning. We mostly had clothes, baby, toddler, men and women. We also had shoes and some nic nacs. We were out there from 8:30 to about 11;30 and started cleaning up. It was crazy busy with people and I was overwhelmed. Gavin got sick with a fever the night before and was sick that day so he was clingy and wouldn't let my sister help very much. I practically gave everything away. Most clothes sold for .50 cents to a dollar or more for jackets. In the end, we made $244 and change. Not bad for clothes and nic nacs!
I've been putting more of the really nice baby jeans, shirts and shoes on the website. Tonight I put two toys on there. A leap frog musical table and a dino musical rocker. I got a three responses for the table withing five minutes. I'm asking $10 for it and they are all willing to pay it. It is in really good condition and I know people at the yard sale would have wanted it for a couple of dollars. So far I've made a bit ove $80 dollars for my sister. I've had at least three ladies make plans to meet and not show. I understand things happen but when I send them a message asking if they still want it, and they don't respond, I will just assume they are being rude. I'll just keep a list and not deal with them.
I finished reading Dangerous Highlander by Donna Grant and I like it. I'm reading book 2 now. Forbidden Highlander.
Hope you all have a good Thursday.
Margie
