a beer in the shower

It's done.  You'd never know we hosted a garage sale in our driveway by the looks of it.  We were up at the crack of dawn setting up.  At one point it was utter chaos.  We probably had 20 people shopping in the beautiful sunshine. In fact, one man said, "this is the best garage sale I've been to in...................................2 weeks!".  Really?  How do we take that?  

 When it was all said and done we raked in a good amount of cash, got rid of a lot of our crap, made a run to Subway for lunch, cleaned up, bought each other's crap,  and took 3 SUV loads of leftovers to Goodwill. 

Handy husband was with the pack of raccoons today.  I made an appearance solely to feed Graham (being the walking refrigerator that I am) and to update him on our sales. 

 There are many tales to tell about today but I'm tired.  I'm so tired and feel so dirty that I'm going to have a beer in the shower.  A dear friend of mine (she knows who she is) says her husband does this.  It sounds like a great idea today.  I better drink it quickly before it gets warm.

 Courtney and Sarah celebrating the counting of the money.

 The "oh, so important" tally sheet.

 Loaded.  We're just loaded.

The grand total. 

Great day, ladies.  Thank you.  Can't wait to celebrate by rearranging the garage and seeing the smile on handy husband's face when he makes a deposit at the bank and parks his riding mower in the garage for the first time!  Oh, and I'll see you at Ruth's Chris happy hour next week to celebrate!
