Grrrrreat Day One.... at The Estate Sale!!

There were Folks waiting... from around 5 a.m., this morning... I was told.

; )

We handed out close to a hundred numbers, and the Folks... Kept Comin'... All Day!!

Thanks to Everyone who Stood in The Rain, off and on... for two hours, waiting their turn, to come inside, this morning.

<3

Poor Bill!!

I looked outside the Kitchen window, while we were handing out numbers...

Oh Dear!!!

: )

The Workshop was Stormed... by People!!

All I could see, through The Sea of People, in The Already Beyond Packed Workshop...

was Bill's Head... Popping Up, Here, and There...

In The Raging 'Sea'!!!

{Hahahahahahaha!!! Shouldn't laugh, I know. : ) }

I've never seen Anything, quite like That... before.

: )

Oh.... Dear!!

; )

It was like Bill's Feet were On FIRE...!!

; )

I had to Keep Tight Control... of The House.

It's Very 'Tight' Quarters.

{Thanks to Lee, and Lori, for being the 'Door Muscle', at the House.}

but...

Somehow... Poor, Bill... Lost Total Control of The Workshop.

HOLY SMOKES!!

: ) : ) : )

I kept going outside, to continue handing out numbers.

Couldn't find an umbrella...

so, pretty much looked like a drowned Rat, all day.

; )

Everyone who attended was GREAT!!

<3

the sad part...

it doesn't look like we made a DENT... 

{but, we did. : ) }

: )

and...

we're Still...

Unpacking, and Sortin'.

; )

Oh Dear!!

; )

Had to leave The Sale... to check on the House, and Property, this afternoon.

{Thanks to Pal, Bill... Gayle, and Lee... for covering.

They know... the 'Pit' I'm living in, now. }

With every single drop of rain...

I worry.

{We've only been flooded 15 Times, since the IDOT's Wrongful 151 Bike Trail Project, for Fairfax.

Our finished basement... is destroyed.

Can't Fix It...

until The IDOT decides to Make Good, on our 'Recorded Agreement'.

Make Things 'Right', as They 'Promised' with our 'Recorded Agreement'.

Gratefully, we were spared, with this rain.

<3

Very Grateful. Praise God!!

 <3

Think The Lord... Knew, I, uh... couldn't 'Handle' more 'Flooding'...

'Today'.

; )

after all...

He Knows... how 'Much'... we can 'handle'. <3 }

We're Gonna Do It All Over Again...

Tomorrow!!

; )

{minus the rain}

We'll be Adding, Unpacking...Sorting... Regrouping...

 and, having a little Fun, too,

Tomorrow.

: )

Day Two...

'Friday'... 

usually... is a much slower day.

; )

We're all lookin' forward to a little 'Slower'.

; )

It was Great... Visiting with So Many Wonderful Folks, 'Understanding' Folks... today.

{Especially... 'The Family' Great People.}

<3 <3 <3 

; )

'This' isn't a 'Typical'...

'Estate 'Sale'.

It's a 'Lifetime'.

; )

<3

: )

This Sale... like, a few others, over the years...

makes me think of 'Remember When' by Alan Jackson.

I'm gonna drop a quarter, and play it...

Again.

<3
