Wordless Wednesday: My Heart Breaks Seeing This Devastation from Typhoon Haiyan (3 Months Ago)

Neighborhood Garage Sale Today!

Three weeks ago, my neighbor and I talked about having a neighborhood garage sale on this day.  She usually does the organizing for this event.  My husband and I made the flyers and road signs.  Our neighbor distributed the flyers two weeks before. A week before the garage sale, I got busy gathering unused baby clothes, toys, furniture, and baby gears.  On Thursday night, I gathered my unused winter clothes, shoes, and handbags. 

Today, my husband is supposed to get the dinnerware sets from the attic.  But he was quite tired from work and making the road signs so he did get them.  So we did not have much to sell.  Anyway, the neighbors across the street has LOTS of stuff.  Well, they moved in the neighborhood few months ago and looks like they're getting rid of the unwanted baby stuff.  Since they have the most items for sale, being in the corner also drives traffic in the neighborhood.

We did good today.  We got rid of the furniture that we wanted to sell.  And that's one of the best thing in having a garage sale.

Who's There?

Somebody knocked at the door this evening. Sounded like the person outside is impatiently in a hurry. We did not answer immediately because he was in the bathroom and I was holding my baby. The knocking went on again so I put my baby down on the bed and hurried to the door. I looked at the peephole and I saw a woman. As soon as I opened the door, she apologized for the disturbance. She said their car had a flat tire and her husband is working on changing it. They live on the other side of the circle. She said they do not want to scare us that is why she's informing us what they're doing in front of our house.

Our neighborhood has crime watch. If somebody sees anything suspicious, it will be reported to the authorities. The woman did not want to scare her neighbors. I think it was a good idea that she had let us know what's going on.
