tired. Man oh man those suckers came out in droves yesterday and Joyce would not come and do hers with me," cause you an't going to sell $10 worth of %@#* she said." I sold my coffee table and end tables, my sewing machine, whole bunch of clothing cooking and just plain crap. I could not see to thread my machine so I am buying one that has got the old fashion use your good eye to thread.


Hope you all had a good weekend so far and been cool, its muggy here today we are suppose to get thunderstorms tonight I just hope it does not start any fires.


I have not done much today, I even went to A&W and got dinner and we never eat hamburgers out, but didn't want to cook.


Where is Rosemary? I hope she is alright and not sick with her treatments, maybe she is just lurking and listening quitely.


I hope you all have a good evening and sleep the good sleep, I am going to get off and see what I can get into. Have a wonderful evening, and talk to you all in the am.

WOW...$800.?!! Betty, I probably would have been one of those "suckers" if I lived near you;-) Are you going gambling with the profits? You'll probably double your money...if your past record continues. Good luck! Hugs, Cal

Cal I will answer both yours and Mindy's here, it was a hoot. No I bought a new ottomen this morning and a new end table to replace the ones that I sold.


Now I am looking for a black decorative Floor vace about 27"inches tall. I saw one at Pier 1 will check there.


I am so envious of you being able to get away alone and have all the down time you need. I am in serious need of some right now, but won't get any for a while.


Have a wonderful evening both you and Mindy.

Bea the sewing machine was bought in 2002, but I have cataracts just bad enough that they cannot do anything about them yet and I can not see close up. I want an older machine that is easier for me to thread. This machine the threading was all on the inside and I could not see if I got every nook and hook threaded, then vern would thread the needle. The automatic threader would not work, so thats why I sold it, it was to nice a machine to just sit and never get used.


i hve a treddle machine that has a bigger needle and I am going to oil it and see if it still makes a good stitch, if not I will have someone come in a adjust it.


This is my biggest complaint about being older, I want my damn cataracts fixed.


I enjoy having garage sales, but I hate to go to them.

Dutch I was so tired I actually cried after I got through talking to Joyce, she is the one that said lets have the garage sale and at your house and then she pulled her usuall. I am glad that I went ahead, because it paid off.


So am way ahead of the game...thanks
