25 cents

The second day of our garage sale I decided to stay home from Church. Ray took all the younger boys, except for Cooper. He was to stay home and run his Koolaid stand. Two hours later Ray came home and asked me how much money I had made. My answer? 25 cents!! *ROFLOL*

That's what you get for staying home from church! Seriously, I had said that if I sold it all (or a great deal) the day before I would go to church and tell how well we had done. But it didn't happen that way. It was a lousy day on Saturday, but the people came. Sunday we had three people come and only one bought a glass of Koolaid, but nothing else.

Oh, well! It was a restful morning with just one child at home. It does mean, though, that I had to put an ad in the paper today to try to sell the big items. That cost me $53, so I need to make at least that much to pay for the ad! I will obviously be having another garage sale in a couple weeks. I was hoping to be done with it, but there is no way all that good stuff is going to the second hand shop. All the families must be camping, cause all I got was old people who wanted china cats and old rolls of wallpaper! *grin*
