Yard Sale!

Sometime last fall I reported on the yard sale we had that netted something like $9.11. Well, we're at it again.

Since Bethune doesn't have its own paper (say, that's an idea....) we didn't do newspaper ads last time, we just put up signs around town. Even with Camden being 20 miles away, we are going to advertise in their paper this time at the cost of $11.15 because it is the most prominent paper in town in the racks. We will do the sign thing again, possibly putting some up in Camden; definitely putting some up in Kershaw (17 miles away) because I do my paper route in Kershaw again tomorrow morning. Can't imagine that people would go that far for a yard sale, but you never know. It's not that we have really good stuff to sell, it is just that this place is pretty small (at least by some standards) so anything we do get necessitates a sell off of something else-otherwise we overcrowd. And of course the last yard sale didn't put much of a dent in our over-crowding. My shop, our garage, becomes the dumping ground. This makes working in there practically impossible.

Personally, in the past I have really enjoyed the yard sales we've had. We usually play some music and all the family is out there working together. This time it will be a bit different; a couple members will be absent because of a music obligation.

BTW, the requested yesterday were appreciated. Don't know the outcome yet, but God's will be done.

From Bethany, the small holding in Bethune...Oremus pro invicem!
