Yard sale success

Summer is pretty much upon us and who doesn't need a few extra dollars in their pockets and at the same time get rid of the things that cause clutter in the home? I know we want both. The extra money can get us away for a weekend and give us a little vacation. Getting rid of the clutter, well....something we all need to do. Hope you all would agree with me. So we put ads in the paper, pennysaver, and hung signs in every place imaginable. The sale would be for 2 days and any profit made would be a profit earned. Memorial day weekend and boy was it memorable. Our biggest yardsale outcome and profit since we tried our hand at yardsales. My wife is very enthusiastic about them and this time she outdid herself. I am so proud of her. We made an astounding $262 and along the way got rid of the things that were in mint condition and we were not using and help so many families who came to the sale and supported us. We appreciate all who came and say thanks. Next year we will do it all again!

A day at the Zoo

We had such a fun day at the zoo May 19th. Me, my kids, and fiancé went to the zoo as a family for the 2nd time. We packed up lunch with sandwiches, yogurt, juice, pop, coockies and chips. We arrived around 10:15 and entered the zoo about 5 minutes later. There was rain in the forecast but it stayed cleared while we there exploring the different animals. We saw everything from elephants to fish. The kids get so excited to see the animals up close. It must be overexuberant and so much joy for little children to see different types of so many species with every exhibit we pass. These are the most precious times and loving things a family can ask for and want. Next year we will do it all again.
