A fun filled weekend

Monday, Dec 13

Our son and his wife held a garage sale this weekend.  We went down during the week to finish going through our stuff that is still stored there.  The biggest thing was my Christmas ornaments.  I have been collecting Hallmark ornaments since they first came out back in the 70's.  I decided to keep a few of the series but am getting rid of everything else.  We may have someone who is going to buy the entire collection.  Of course that means we will sell at a lower price than we would get off of Ebay but we won't have to go through the process of photographing hundreds of ornaments. He will need to make a profit on what he sells too.  They did pretty good at the sale getting rid of some items that have been around for awhile.  The only big thing that didn't sell was a couch.  One couple looked at the oak roll top desk and said they would think about it and come back.  Yeah right.  Well, they did come back!  Yeah!  That means I only have prictures and my Duncan Royale Santas left.  Bill still has his trains. 

We have decided to back away from one of our square dance clubs.  We will still go into the monthly dances but won't be members anymore.  I gave up the website that I have been doing for about 6 years.  It was about time. 

I hope to get all our Christmas shopping done this week.  I mostly have gift cards left to get but do need to get presents for a couple of people. 

It has been really cold this week.  We even had frozen pipes at the beginning of last week.  I hope it warms up soon. 

So other than that we haven't been doing much.  I have a small cold that I hope clears up soon.  Mostly it is a stuffed up nose and scratchy throat.  Bill is doing just fine. 

So that is it for now.  Have a good time.
