Yard Sale

We had our yard sale today and woke up very early to get everything ready for it.



We managed to sell a lot of things. By the end of the day everything we had left fit into two boxes, minus the books. We had a lot of books. Today was a success, and we will not have to sell what is left tomorrow. The remainder of the stuff will go to charity.

The surprising thing? The stuff people bought first. I thought people would buy things like the bookshelf, Legos, and a filing cabinet we had right away. We were wrong, way wrong. Instead, people bought things like the reindeer decorations for your car, and a knife sharpener that we were actually selling with a knife as a "set" (they did not want the knife). It was actually a good feeling selling it and knowing that this is one step forward to moving to Panama!

Oh and just as a rivalry joke back home...nobody wanted the Ducks mug that was for sale. And yes, surprisingly, there are a lot of U of O fans here so I do not want to hear "well you're in another state" stuff. I see cars with U of O memorabilia more frequently than I see ASU or U of A logos on cars. There is a game tonight so I have to say...Go Beavs!
