The first day went pretty well. The second day was very slow. I made enough money to save my sanity on our trip west (I bought DVD's to keep my kids entertained while we are driving).
I was very impressed by a lady that showed up yesterday morning. She goes around garage sales buying things that can be donated to the children and adults down in the Apalachia area. I thanked her for coming, told her we had been praying that people who needed our things would find us. Turns out she had been heading to another sale and had seen our signs. I thought a little bit about how prayers are answered. I don't always keep track of the things I pray for, but prayers are always answered. Not always in the way that we think they will be.
We took the left over stuff (enough to fill up the back of our van) to a thrift store where I like to shop. The end of another chapter of our THING filled lives!
Does anybody need any canning jars?
JOSEPH: What Cindi didn't tell you about was the two threatening drunk guys who showed up on day 1. I think next time we hold a garage sale, I will take Friday off.
