the big sale

Well Randi and her mom spent about 1/2 the day today getting everything out of our house and into the garage for the big garage sale that we are kicking off Friday morning at 7am.

I would have never dreamed we had the amount of stuff that is in the garage!  Our garage is almost packed just with junk that was (somehow) stored inside our house. haha..  And we still have a book shelf and kitchen shelf, recliner and kitchen table and chairs to put out there!  I don't think we will have a problem getting rid of stuff though.  Our landlord's daughter and her husband live across the street from us.  They just had a new baby several months ago.  So when Randi and her mom where out at the end of the drive today she came and Randi invited her over to go through the baby stuff if she wanted any, and she bought quite a bit!

Anyway, here are some photos of the old garage.  But now some things in there aren't going to be for sale, like my trusty Cub Cadet mower, but I just couldn't leave it out over night, so we had to pull somethings in for the night.

Also, we had made signs about "Free cat to a good home" to try and give our little guy, Lucky, away in hopes that moving to a new home with new carpet and no pets having ever been it, might help Dylan's breathing.  Well Randi barely got a sign hung up down at the gas station on the corner and a lady behind her read it and insisted on seeing the cat.  So her and her little boy followed Randi to the house, took 1 look at him and she said she had to have him.  She had a cat for many years and then one day it up and disappeared and she has never seen him since.  She was really nice and we visited for quite some time with her and got the feeling that she would really take care of him.  So we loaded him up, let the kids say goodbye and off he went.

So all that took place on Wednesday night. Well, shortly after the lady left with Lucky, my little Kaitlyn looked at me and said "Daddy, I want a puppy for Christmas."!!  She is just too cute!
