The yard sale is over. One truck & 1 subaru are loaded with stuff for charity. Mucho garbage has just been picked up by the garbage men (after a neighbor came & took some games her children wanted). We made some money, we sold some things to people who wanted them, we gave away a lot (had a whole tarp marked "free"), but there was still so much left. I was absolutely soaked in sweat several times during the day & it wasn't a hot day - thank heavens. Did forget to get some items out, of course. No interesting stories of sales, except that everyone wanted a real bargain. Felt good about the canning jars all being sold, every last one of them. All the large pots went. The corning ware loaf pans went. Leigh Ann took a bunch of books - that was great as her Mom wants her reading more & I found lots of books from when Paula & Sherry were in junior high in the attic & she could choose the ones that interested her. Jerry got rid of his loaded shells & the plastic cases for shells, although we still have the reloading eqt.

I was totally exhausted by 5 pm. Fell asleep on the couch, Jerry woke me about 6:30 & I didn't move for another half hour & then felt very strange the rest of the evening, to fall in bed about 9.

Now the plan is to get some photos of items onto Craigslist. Unfortunately, when I went to use the camera yesterday, it isn't working properly. The battery says its charged, it's in the camera correctly, but when I turn the camera on, the viewing screen only shows for a second or two & then goes blank. I'll see if I can find a new battery & try again. I hope that's all that's wrong with the camera.

And meanwhile - the Penquins won!!!!! Neither Jerry nor I stayed up to watch the finish of the game, but I wasn't asleep when I heard yelling, followed by fireworks & knew then that they had won. I seriously thought about calling Sherry, however couldn't summon the energy to get out of bed to do so.

Gonna go get ready for work.


All the above from my sister in Youngwood, Pennsylvania, you know the world does go on without me when I drop off into Hawaii. Published without her permission, but I won't make a dime from the story just send her my best thoughts.
