Garage sale a huge success


Last weekend, Mimi, Debbie, and Vicki had a garage sale. It was a very successful 2 days. Mimi and Grandaddy sold over $700 (including the "big george"), Debbie sold $200, and Vicki sold $40! (that didn't even pay for the gas to come from Ga) I entered several very classy pieces, including a coconut monkey. My homemade pottery didn't sale, but also were NOT given to the Hannah house. I have a feeling we may see them again in Gatlinburg.

Jonathan did really well. He loved the dirt and the people. He also had a great time throwing his cheerios onto the garage floor and eating them before we could stop him. We tried to keep the basket of softballs away from him b/c of all the crystal that Mimi was selling. It was hard- he was only distracted by the round trampoline that Mimi (and all of us) used to exercise on. (it later sold).

Elizabeth showed up in time to eat dinner on Friday and lunch on Saturday. She tried to help with the cleanup, but was told to go look for garage sale signs to remove while the others cleaned. I had to go with her in order to keep her from getting into more trouble. She had already locked her keys in her car once that weekend (and had to borrow Mom's lexus- how convenient).

Rebecca and Derek came late Friday night and were a great help on Sat. (well- Derek was- Reb was just sort of there to add trouble and crack jokes) They got to stay until Sun afternoon.

We even got to visit with Emma when she came by on Sat.

I have heard that there are more of you cousins out there, but I'm really not sure. Make a comment and let us hear from you!

tell your son to quit picking his nose in pictures...pretty soon you'll move out a chair of your house and find his collection of boogers on the side of it...or trey's wall--what am i saying? i love a good pick and roll. for those of you not there at the garage sell, grandaddy officially announced that he is taking all those not in attendance of out of the will and the rest of us are getting all five china dolls...yesss suckers
