It's done! Now, the clean up!

I got this shot of Lee at the beginning of the garage sale on Thursday.  Now, it's done!  One of his daughters came just as we were finishing, so we visited with her for a long time tonight.  We'll clean up from the sale tomorrow after church.  That was our plan, anyway.  We were not up for packing all that was left tonight!  We had told a few people that if they wanted to come buy something tomorrow, they could come while we pack and still buy.  I doubt if any of them will come, though.  Anyway, for all practical purposes we're done and we feel good about the money we collected.  Besides the garage sale we had some items sell on Craig's list, so the deposit on Monday will feel good!  Now, we get to do this, again, in Hobart.  We won't collect nearly as much money in Hobart, but we'll collect something.  We'll take a lot of what we didn't sell here to the Hobart sale.  A lot we will donated to a charity here and not have to take it all to Hobart.

The last 3 days were easier than the days of getting ready for it.  Plus, God blessed us with a cool day today.  It was only in the 80's today!  In fact, I started the day wearing a jacket of Lee's that he had on the sale rack!  I thank God for helping us through this week.  The emotional aspect of getting rid of things that had meaning was difficult at times, but knowing that we do this to move forward helped.  Having each other helped.  It's been a hard thing, physically, but God gave us the strength.  Otherwise, it's been really a lot of fun and having each other sure made that possible.  If either of us had to do this on our own it would have been sheer drudgery.  We feel so blessed.  I could feel moral support coming from you all; thanks!
