lazy summer days......

Like to many other things, I let this blog lapse this summer. Its been wet, hot and lazy. Had a yard sale last weekend, now remember why I don't have yard sales! Jordan made about $15, I made about $35. Sigh, at least I got rid of some stuff. CraigsListing and Ebaying the rest. It needs to go!

Cat sitting the boys, back home to the Lillydog today. Start working on some rooms tomorrow. Need to get Jay moved and at least 4 rooms rented so the place is breaking even. I wonder if we could strip them down and rent them out as artist spaces, but I'm just the peon. Of course when I was running the property it made money!

getting garage sale ready!

My first yard/garage sale in many years, forgot how much work it is! Have most of my stuff sorted, $100 in change, tables ready to set up, still pricing and crossing my fingers. Still need to make my signs and crossing fingers it doesn't rain. Friday is kind of the trial run, with the big day, I hope, on Saturday. We're in the country, but there's a big anual event across the street that brings in huge crowds, hoping for spillover and the curious. My body hurts, I need to be up by 6:30 and still need to get packages ready to mail tomorrow but it feels so good to have sorted stuff out and getting rid of stuff that should have gone 10 years ago! With luck by Sunday the commercial sewing machine, boxes of books, clothes and furniture that's been in storage forever will be gone and I'll have some extra spending money and room to breathe again, lol.
