I am spending this beautiful Saturday doing one of my least favorite things...running a yard sale.
Today is the annual Corbin Park Neighborhood wide Yard Sale and we have a few things we decided to part with. The main things I was hoping to dispose of are a roll top desk, a chest of drawers with mirror, night stand and headboard and our old barn style garage doors. On top of that, there is a bunch of crap that we have out as well and I've sold bits and pieces of it. It's going to be going to the Goodwill.
I have managed to sell the roll top desk and the garage doors. I'm very pleased about that. Especially the doors. I thought they would be hard to unload because it would take a very specific person who knew what to do with them.
Fortunately, that person came along.
I'm was planning to sit out here for two more hours and then call it quits at 4PM. But I just sold the roll top desk for $50.00 and the only thing left I care about selling is the Bedroom set. Since I don't think that is going to happen, I have taken some nice pictures and I'll be putting it on Craigs List. Enough of this Yard Sale Bullshit!
9:38PM: We have just returned from a birthday party for Susan's friend, Carine. I think she's 55. She and her husband built a house that is waaaaaaay out there in the sticks. Even though I mostly know how to get there, I could not get there again.
I called the Yard Sale a day at 2PM and packed the remaining stuff into a box that is bound for Goodwill. We made about $90.00 and then spent $85.00 on a flat screen TV and a box of Halloween stuff.

First Sunday in June
It is a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and we are in "Relax Mode". Trust me, we've earned it.
Yesterday we worked in the yard. Susan got the flower beds in shape and I continued a long over due job I started last week. Namely, cleaning out from under the Arbor Vitae.
I don't think they are getting enough water because there is so much debris at the trunk of those shrubs. I just don't think the majority of the water is getting past all that crap. So I have been on my hands and knees raking out the crap.
Today we went to ArtFest down in Browne's Addition. We cruised around for about an hour and a half, had a little food and returned home.
Once here, I cleaned out a mini fridge that Susan nabbed from work and Susan finished up putting some flowers in some flower pots for the front porch.
It is now approaching 4:00 and we are vegging. I'm here typing on the deck and Susan is luging on the couch.
Mark is coming over and Susan reconnected with her old catering work buddy, Pamm. She's coming over as well and we're having beers on the porch.
Tomorrow is Susan's first day at her new job. She doesn't seem too nervous about it but that will probably come tomorrow.
