And yay for the Bean on getting the knight - you know if you would just let the knight in the house, he would make a good companion for Hazel...maybe you could dress him for the holidays too.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741171170864789735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-33200313153947677952011-08-15T20:22:35.591-05:002011-08-15T20:22:35.591-05:00This post read like a novel.

You always make me laugh out loud when I read your posts! I guess I can relate too much! I'm glad for you that couple showed up at the end for the appliances! <br /><br />My son was the fetch-it, haul-it boy at our sale too. Hope you get a chance this week to put your feet up and relax a bit after all of your hard work!!!Bargain Hunting Treasure Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357232422400947985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-72667358683523199982011-08-15T16:12:54.927-05:002011-08-15T16:12:54.927-05:00Do you have pics of the dog prints?

First good thing I've read all day I'd say. I felt like I was there beside you...minus the aches and pains. I think The Bean has WONDERFUL taste and had I been able to get to your sale, he and I would have had a fight over that knight. (If he ever turns up missing from your garden he may have found his way to Ohio).<br />After reading about all your hard work I'm starting to look over all my posessions. Might be time to start thinning the herd so my kids won't have to? Nahhhhh....one final zinger from good ol Mom,right?Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870875862963051503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-59924771117705587492011-08-15T12:16:32.748-05:002011-08-15T12:16:32.748-05:00That was a GREAT read!

I have never had a yard or estate sale myself, only taken some of my stuff to a friend's sale. My husband is loathe to part with anything that belonged to his parents, and we moved into the 70 year old fully furnished house he grew up in. Plus we are both collectors. It's kind of a nightmare. I could almost FEEL how much work you all had to have done! And I'm glad it sounds like you did well at the sale. Phew - glad for you that it's over!Heidi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666588441951832108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-15802943271159596512011-08-15T07:08:25.224-05:002011-08-15T07:08:25.224-05:00I am SO GLAD T.B. came through for me on The Knigh...I am SO GLAD T.B. came through for me on The Knight!!

You are so right about being a captive audience and loved your helping the woman with the kids - you have a big heart Shara and I know the karma of it will come around. Am glad the Bean got the knight if he really wanted it - LOL - too soon he will be off on his own with it and a great story to tell! Have a good week and get some well deserved rest!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272644696070425705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-83720636965060298142011-08-15T06:40:20.434-05:002011-08-15T06:40:20.434-05:00Shara, you survived and lived to tell about it.

Not everyone thinks that way obviously. I know you and your mama are glad to get this behind you. <br />And it sounds like The Bean deserves this "family treasure" after all his hard work. <br />Debra<br /><br />Woo Hoo, I could use a million dollars.Debra Ganashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257320939608399966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-4540823718165077072011-08-15T05:53:12.375-05:002011-08-15T05:53:12.375-05:00Always great stories from the other side of the ti...Always great stories from the other side of the til.

I have done that too. I put some stuff out by the curb that was leftover from auction box lots - just junk. Some lady was so excited over that stuff! I kept adding good stuff with it because I felt so sorry for her. I even went to the henhouse and gathered some eggs to give her lol.Deanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371442123633254570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-67943630128129789492011-08-14T23:42:15.417-05:002011-08-14T23:42:15.417-05:00Whew!
