No promises here but I might try to get up there on Friday. We have a hosta sale Saturday so I can't make it then. You are about 40 miles north of us but I can team it up with some photo taking on a project I designed on the northwest side of Whitefish. Again, no promises.
Don't you say a word to your wife. I will show up claiming to be a fundraiser for Acorn to see what kind of a reaction I get.

I won't probably make it tomorrow. I have been getting a load of calls about the hosta sale Saturday from people who can't make it then. I already have a bunch who will be coming over tomorrow to look the hostas over.
Here is a question though. What I am looking for is a copy of the movie "Trading Places". Mine is shot. We are set up for vhs tapes or bvd's. I don't suppose you have a copy at your sale?
I was hoping to meet you finally but I guess that will have to wait. I hope we both have great results at our sales. I am going to take precinct notes so that I can be sure to pay the Soetoro administration all the taxes it is due. How about you?

It sounds like your yard sale went well. I wanted to come up but was buried in our own sale. I am just plain tired today. We actually had someone just show up today wanting to buy. They didn't which was just fine. I really didn't want to deal with one more day of it.

we h ad the movie on vhs...but unfortunately it is gone. We sold the vhs for $1 and dvds for $2...most were new or like new. I sold 1/3 of our music collection, and the cd's were priced at a dollar too.
Aside from the tools, almost everything was less than $2. It went well. Friday was the busiest, but Saturday was pretty good too except that it got cold and rainy in the afternoon. But my wife was impressed at what she made, and it was well worth it.
We had three pickup loads and my trailer we hauled there...and we came back with less than a pickup load. So I think it went well too. The furniture, which was all Ashley, all sold, and I delivered...so people didnt need a pickup. Met some nice people, and maybe even made a new friend or two.
We did donate the left over clothing to Share and Care, and I think they will appreciate it. Some nice stuff, but we just didnt have the room for it anymore.
Like you, very exhausted today...so just taking 'er easy. Did manage to get the lawn mowed today...that is about it.

Are you still getting people stopping? We had a call last night at 8:45 from someone who couldn't make it Saturday so I am letting them stop today. I can tell you this I really don't appreciate calls on Sunday evening, especially after we had put in so much time already.

Two people did. We hosted it our daughters house who lives on 371. They came back looking to buy things they said they shouldnt have passed up. I have their tele numbers and will give them a call. We also had one stop by real late after the sale...after dark.
