Garage Sales

Well the semester is over and I finally get to blog again. The first weekend in May, holds one of the biggest Garage Sale in this area......I never miss it, but unfortunately the semester was winding down, and stress got the better of me. I stayed home like an obedient student..So I thought, I will go this weekend....what a bust, not because the community had bad sales, but the rain spoiled every ones plans....so I took my friend Debbie's advice, I went home and watched movies.....At least it was relaxing....

However, I still have the garage sale bug, so now I want to have one. I moved into my new house last August (3 days before Fall Semester began) and I have yet to go through the closets and organize. My pile of "get rid of" began to grow.....Purging is so much fun.....so as my friend/co-worker Sandy always says "therefore, henceforth, there forth"....I decided to have a garage sale....The good news is that I can get everything in the garage ready the night before, and then the next morning just a push of the button (garage door button) and wallah...instant garage sale...So until then I am cleaning out the closets and probably making room for more junk...

    Oh, good for you! I am in the midst of purging too, but it is a very slow process for me.
    Good luck with your sale!
    Enjoy!
    All the best,

Summertime, Garage Sales and Flea Markets

Summertime is here and I have been to a local flea market....I had a garage sales the Saturday before Memorial Day to get rid of the old and bring in the new.....or "new to me"..... I found burlap, a picture frame, window sheers, home decor, three accent pillows to go with the new bedspread in the master bedroom....and much, much more.....I even found a free-standing garden trellis for $15.00, original price was $112.00.....looks great in the garden....I have not decide what viney flower I will grow, yet....All in all I spent $30.00 including the trellis... I am still looking for more window treatments for the master bedroom, but there are more garage sales and flea markets out there waiting for me.....Happy Hunting everyone...

Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

We all have talents. Some are veiled and some are in the open. I have several friends that helped me get through the first few days after Jonny's accident. Lynne helped with the logistics of getting the memorial organized, and driving me to see my son Brandon to tell him the tragic news. Crystal gathered the pictures and the stories of Jonny with me, his brother, his family, and his friends to decorate the display board. Peggy and Ruth were able to comfort me, with their empathetic abilities, having similar losses. My sister and Mom, comforting me and only wishing the plane from Florida brought them sooner. My friend Debbie, whose comforting words, caring and the ability to know what else I needed, such as bringing a wonderful stew, to nourish us and keep my strength up. The list goes on and on. The talents and kindness continues....all of these people were put into my life at different times and different areas. I know that God put them into my life for a reason...I am forever gra
