Creating blog messages and/or “climbing the family tree” is my medicine. When sick, half-sick, stressed, or distressed, I forget the pain or fatigue while engrossed on the computer. The “garage sale” is over and this very tired old lady wasn’t content to sit in the recliner. “Time to prepare another blog message.”

Complaint #1: The retirement facility did not advertise the event to the city–wide community of Waco. A sign wasn’t prepared until 10:00 AM Friday and then placed at the major thoroughfare past our building.

Complaint #2: Most of the residents did not know about the “garage sale” until they headed toward the dining room for breakfast or lunch.  For the most part, “the residents”  did not need—or want—the items we had for sale.

I haven’t counted my money to see how much I collected. Off the top of my head, I’m thinking about $125.00. Will I do this again??  “Yes,”  because another garage sale is promised for next month—and next time two of us participants will make sure there is advertising directed toward folks living in the Waco, Texas, area.

I regret that I can’t display pictures. Remember, I am “out of space”  on this blog. I’m considering creating a new blog and thought I’d title it Eighty-eight and counting. (It is much less expensive for me to start a new blog versus “upping” the gigabytes for this blog.)
