A Hard Rainy Day

It was an emotionally difficult time Saturday morning. We put out the first of six signs advertising our garage sale just after 6:30 am. By the time we put out the second sign one-half block away it was raining. When we put out the last sign it was pouring. "Well," we said to each other, "maybe the rain will only last an hour." Nope! It lasted all morning.
But even if it had stopped raining, certain people might not have found the sale. Below is a photo of our sign at the corner of Judge Ely and EN 10th. You see, Be had figured out that she wanted to wait until she put out the signs to draw the arrow heads. That way we would not get confused, as we had in the past, and have the arrows pointing in the wrong direction. But she had already drawn one arrow head before she made that decision to wait. No problem. Just put that one sign in the correct position. In our haste to put out signs, draw the arrow heads, and not get wet, this happened.




Here is a photo of what garage sale items we actually got moved outside. The ladder was supposed to be put on stands to hold clothes. It was not for sale. And I put out the other two items the night before. They are still out there. Our garage has eight tables filled with really good things for sale, plus some other stuff all around on the floor and the ping-pong table.
