Yard Saling

That looks wrong. Why does that title look wrong? Can I really spell sale-ing like that???

Anyway! You know how last week we were going to go yard saling (see, there it is again) with the specific intent to find Melia some clothes. It flopped. totally. like three sales in all flopped.

But!!! This morning Gabe came home from work and away - we - went!

We stopped at around 8-9 different sales, and bought a TON!

For the girls we picked a bag of clothes (well, for Melia) several puzzles, 30+books, and Melia's birthday present. We will probably give it to her early because I just can't wait that long. I know. I need to practice restraint. Stay tuned for a picture soon.

We also found a large dog crate to replace my mother-in-law's which our dog ate. Guess how much? We are talking about a $120 crate..... for (Rennea, skip this part!) $10!!!

Gabe found a bunch of stuff for him, including a guitar he'd been wanting.

ANDDDD.... You know how I've been talking about wanting to start reading the Narnia series to the girls??? Our boxed set is not complete because the loaned ones have not returned... But God must want me to start, because today I found the big, like-new, single book edition which contains the whole series. For a dollar!

He is just so good to us. Thank you Lord-- Thank you. We are so undeserving of everything, and you love us anyway, and then you delight in our worship. How blessed are we.

Wow!
Sounds like you had a great yard sale trip! I can't seem to get great deals like that. :O(
We have something called the World's Longest Yard Sale in August. I like to go then. But it's also VERY hot. :o)
my kids would love a guitar....
