Thoughts of the Day

Thought I would try and post this morning before I get busy on other things. First off the yard sale is done. I wouldn't say it was a complete success but I did make a little money and got rid of a lot of little items. I took four boxes full of stuff and only came home with one. The weather was not good on Friday, cold and rainy, but it was better on Saturday morning, still cold but sunny. We actually sat w/blankets and a heater in Holly's garage. I'm glad to have it done.

One other topic has been on my mind for over a week now. Woodward, Oklahoma was hit with a tornado on April 15. I moved to Woodward in August of 78 and lived there until May 84. I graduated high school there, met and married Doyle there, and had Brad there. Many, many memories were made there and it was sad to see so much of it destroyed. Thankfully, everyone that I know that still lives there were not directly affected. Yes, they knew people that were killed, but there homes and families were spared. Seeing it all on TV brought back so many emotions. If the economy there hadn't gone bust, we would probably still live there. There are still days that I miss living there and Doyle feels the same way. I know that they will rebuild and be back better than ever, that's just the kind of people that they are!

Yard Sale Time

Holly and I have planned a yard sale for April 20 & 21. That's great news for me as I have quite a bit of stuff that I would like to get rid of. It's bad news for me as I haven't even begun to prepare for it. Luckily, I'm at home today and tomorrow and then again Saturday and Sunday. Any guesses as to what I'll be doing? Hopefully all my stuff (and card tables) will fit in my car, gas is too expensive to make an extra trip to Springfield. I made a special trip to Wal-Mart after work yesterday to buy those price stickers that already have the price printed on them, and you guessed it, they were out of them. Why did that surprise me? Hopefully "our" Wal-Mart will have them. The problem with that is I have NO desire to go ANYWHERE today. Maybe I'll just gather the stuff today and price tomorrow. Sounds like a plan to me!
