The yard sale is over!

We had to get up at 6:30 so we could get to the church in time to set up the coffee before 8. When we got there, everything had been done and many workers and customers were already there. This is even more early than winter Texans! I had to take some items to the recycle center and planted another sign on the way. I returned and we sold baked goods and coffee all morning. I worked with the former pastor’s wife for an hour while Evelyn set up the altar. I left around 11 and went to the flea market at the fairgrounds where I found a hand mixer that had a slow speed. The new one Evelyn has runs only at a very high speed. I came home and got our trash can so I could go get mulch. I brought it home, went to get gasoline ($2.539) and picked up some rocks to line one of our mulch areas. I brought then back and laid them out before going to get Evelyn. It was time to begin loading the items left from the sale. We had many things as usual. It rook about an hour to load them. I didn’t go to the Haywood Christian Ministry to unload. I did help clean up the floors before we left to come home for lunch. By now it was 2:30. Evelyn put food together, and then I made her go to bed because I knew she was very tired. I was right. She slept more than an hour. We went to a Saturday night worship at the Methodist church because they are starting a sermon series on the red hot book, “The Shack”. Evelyn was more impressed with the sermon than I but was as turned off by the warm up praise singing as I was. The songs were virtually unsingable and repetitious. Immediately after the service, we went to walk around the lake. It was not too hot but very humid, making us uncomfortable. We walked only because the “discussion” we expected to last more than an hour didn’t. We returned home and Evelyn talked with the Beelis for more than an hour.
