I agree ...

can it get any hotter. My God, what a year! Steve and I did nothing physical today, just sat out at our garage sale for 9 hours and both feel like we've run a marathon. I attribute it to the heat.
Best part of the day was meeting lots of really nice people from the 'hood and some were even interesting. I got to show the backyard to a couple of gals who were really gardens and appreciated the work that goes into a yard like ours. It was refreshing to actually "talk" flowers complete with names instead of the usual compliments about the yard being "pretty". Of course, I love any compliments but I think you girls know what I mean. It's so fun to actually walk around the yard and discuss specific flowers, etc.

Anyway, we sold about 20% of our inventory so tomorrow better be a heck of a lot busier or we're going to burn more gas taking the stuff (multiple trips) to Goodwill than it's probably worth. I'm going to call St. Vincent de Paul's tomorrow and see if I can get on a "pick up schedule". I wouldn't be surprised if they've discontinue that with the gas prices.

Loved you guys' pictures on this site! Cute ones of Vinny in the car. And yours on the Mother Load, Kelly! The boys were so cute at the farm and Merle Hay. I laughed at the staged "Wizard of Oz" shoes, the boys in their ties and the trained seals!!! hahaha! Jack looks soooo hot in that one with his chain saw.

Lyns I made little Katie (Karen's granddaughter) very happy by giving her a box of little bears you had collected .. remember them? She was really tickled with them and was playing "house" on the sidewalk. Best $2 I spent today (that's the price I had on the whole box and they didn't sell). Guess toy bears aren't worth what they used to be - ha! Just know that they went to a good home! ;)
