Garage Sale Success!

Whew! At last a few minutes to take a breath and catch up on a couple of things. This week has been busy, busy, again!

Our garage sale this past Saturday was a huge success! We get started before the crack of dawn.
The girls got up with me and we were out of the house by 5:30am. They helped to post signs.
While the girls were picking out bagels and doughnuts for the neighborhood, the sun decided to wake up.
It was just before 6am when we got home. The place was hoppin!
Not a bad crowd, considering the ad said the sale didn't even start until 7am!
Take it! Take it all! Yahoo!
The final result was great! We started cleaning stuff up at about 11:30am. There were 5 families involved all in all, and everyone made some great money. Hubby and I cleared $400, our friends J&J made over $500, our friends across the street made over $200! It was a lot of fun. One of the best parts was that we had a DAV (Disabled American Veteran) truck come just after the sale was over to take everything that was left that we wanted to donate. The garage got nice and clean, and we made room for new stuff! The extra cash didn't hurt either!

After we were done with the garage sale stuff, it was time for a little pool fun with the pups.
