What a weekend! Well, I might be comatose, but please know, there is a smile on my face.
The Yard Sale was a great success! Last minute, I pushed it up to 9am, but that didn’t stop the hardcore yardsalers from arriving at my place at 8am. Good thing, at that moment, I had decided to start pulling my stuff out. So it was a hectic start, but hey, I was happy they were there.
And they just kept coming… One man that bought some of my larger ticket items – like the guitar and surround sound system – had made a point to come to my yard sale because I was fundraising. Isn’t that cool?
Once the dedicated yardsalers started to pitter away, the local came out. Fortunately for me, I have a church at the end of my block, and this weekend, I was slightly more blessed than usual. The church was having a fair (free food, inflatable house, and so forth). So once mass was over, the fair really helped keep people outdoors.
It ran very smoothly, too, thanks to the help I received from my wonderful friends, Christian and Stannie, helping me (again). They’ve been with me for every outing I’ve done, and for some strange reason, they keep coming back to help me. And if that wasn’t enough, after it was all over, they even helped me bring the remaining items to Good Will. And while I'm on the subject, I should also thank Kip, Jennie, Tania, and Regina for their donations. So, let’s give them all a round of applause!
All in all, it was perfect. It was perfect L.A. weather – mild and sunny. I had a steady flow of visitors, and everyone who stopped found something to buy. And it was the first time in the five (going on six) years I’ve lived on this street that I really got a chance to meet some of my neighbors. In my opinion, it doesn’t get any better than that.
Until next week…
