Yard Sale Day

 As promised, it’s supposed to rain today. When we started setting up this morning, it started raining. Not too bad, but stuff was getting wet.

By the time we got the tents up, it had stopped raining and so far, the rain has stayed away.

We’ve had some pretty good crowds and we think we’ve made about 100 bucks so far.

The main thing is that we managed to unload this old Hammond Organ that we had in the Carriage House for the last 15 years. It doesn’t work but the guy who’s coming to get it knows about these organs and can probably fix it.

I also sold my old golf clubs that were my Grandfather’s. I got 15 bucks for the bag, a complete set of 50 year old clubs and about $20.00 worth of new golf balls. I’m happy!

Corbin Park Yard Sale 2025

This Saturday is the Annual Corbin Park Neighborhood Yard Sale. We don’t participate every year but this year we decided it was time to unload some of our crap…I mean, underutilized items.

So all this week we are prepping for the sale. The last two days, we’ve been tearing into “the Hole”. It’s an upstairs storage area where we stored lots of boxes when we moved in twenty years ago and then forgot about it.

We are pulling out a lot of crap…stuff we will never use. Interspersed, there are little gems that I forgot we had. Books, like my old Yearbooks, pictures, fun little niknaks, and some stuff we’re finding is kind of valuable. Cool!

The weather has been spectacular for a good month. It’s been hot but not too hot. The tradition of the neighborhood yard sale is that we always manage to pick the weekend in June when it rains.

I was looking at the forecast today and here’s what it shows.

Let the tradition continue.
