We had a garage sale this past weekend; Friday and Saturday, to be exact. A coworker asked if it was to get rid of stuff or to make money – definitely the latter. We can get rid of stuff easily enough by donating it to Second Chance or the Hope Chest, but it's fun to make a little money by selling some of our old things, invariably to help pay for their replacements. Among the particularly productive sales were our extension ladder, which we no longer need to get on the roof of our single-story house, and our trusty old dining room table and chairs, whose replacements should be arriving at Front Street Home Furnishings in Lynden this weekend. Julie deserves all of the credit, of course; she set it all up and monitored the proceedings (along with a few relatives who brought stuff of their own). Thanks, hon!
