Good morning dear friends. The estate sale is going slow! I believe that the economy and all that is going on is affecting it because we live in such a depressed county. The people who want and need things can’t afford them and those that can already have what we’re selling. I’ve only sold one piece of furniture in a week. The men’s clothes in particular are just not selling.

It’s been a long week and I’m physically and mentally exhausted so will just jump into today’s categories.

Be sure to join Happy Homemaker Monday with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

Friday and Saturday were HOT AND HUMID for the beginning of the estate sale, but yesterday was GORGEOUS!! This week is starting out just as nice as yesterday, but we’ll be in the triple digits by Friday! Fortunately, the evenings are still getting down into the 50’s making the day times tolerable.

TO DO, APPOINTMENTS, DVR/TV & PROJECTS

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS, APPOINTMENTS & DVR/TV

LAUNDRY & CLEANING Cleaning will wait until after the sale is over next week and people aren’t tramping in and out of the house, but I’m actually up to date on the laundry. GROCERIES & ERRANDS I’m going to town today for just a few things and drop off a couple of boxes of donations. I have a pedicure and facial scheduled for this week also. I also need to make some phone calls that will require sitting down and spending a chunk of time. RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING I really need to work on this, but have enough to skate by until next week. DVR/TV We’ve been watching CHEERS to go to sleep by, but not much else. We did watch a couple of old John Wayne movies – Donovan’s Reef and Rio Bravo.

READING TIME

I’m STILL trying to finish THE GUEST LIST by Lucy Foley, but keep falling asleep 2 paragraphs in 🙂 not because it’s not good, but because I’m so tired!!!

FAVORITE PHOTOS FROM THE CAMERA

We have been having amazing sunsets this past week. And my neighbor’s daughter brought Mr. Beary White to visit the estate sale. He’s virtually blind and deaf, but oh so sweet and worth so much more than the tag says!
