Clearing Out

Yesterday we had a garage sale. I think it was pretty successful. Got rid of a bunch of stuff, but it's daunting to see how much more we have. I mean, how did I end up with so many plastic spoons, forks, and knives? Why couldn't I have used up one package before buying more?

We had all the stuff spread out in the front yard and a bunch of stuff still in the garage that we either wanted to keep or we just hadn't had a chance to go through yet. There were some people who, after looking at items in the yard I guess they didn't like that, so they would wander on over to the garage (note to self: next time keep the dang door down). One couple actually started going through some of the stuff in the garage and pointing to things asking if we wanted to sell this or that. I thought I was going to have to block the door so they wouldn't come on in to the house.

But, I can't complain too much about that. At least we're on our way to clearing away things we haven't used in several years.
