Garage Sale

My neighborhood was having a big garage sale and Chellee had a lot of stuff to put out so we decided to join in. Chellee came over with girls on Thursday and after Peter got off work he stayed here too. He had to leave first thing Friday morning for San Diego so he couldn't help us out with the set up of the sale. I had originally planned to have the garage sale on Friday too but after we talked about it and realized how much work we would have to do in such little time we decided to wait until Saturday, then if we had anything left we could also do it Sunday. That worked out great because we had all day Friday to set up. We got everything organized and sorted and marked so that on Saturday morning we could just pull it out to the driveway and open up shop. With both Saturday and Sunday's sales we made a lot more money than we expected. All of this stuff was just stuff that I was going to throw out, I'm happy someone wanted it. Even on Sunday I went through some boxes from the attic and marked them and put them in the sale and the items were hardly on the table before someone picked them up and bought them. We donated the left over items we didn't want to Winter Park HS and then packed and stored the other items for another day. Chellee counted out the bank and divided up the money but I had to keep an eye on her because she had that money everywhere.
