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.

Weekend Snapshot: Garage Sale Items

A neighbor knocked at our door Thursday night giving us a piece of paper saying that there is a neighborhood garage sale on Saturday and Sunday. She asked my honey if he is interested to participate. My honey turned to me and said we will put some unused things out for sale since we are getting rid of some stuff.

So today, we woke up very early to set up. I put price tags on the items and my honey arranged the heavy things on the ground. On the table are the light and cheap ones. I have a couple sweaters for sale too. They are only a $ 1.00 each. I think there are four sweaters left. I hope they will sell tomorrow. Sets of plates are still on sale for $ 20.00 per set of eight. Some knick knacks on the table are from .25 cents to a $ 1.00.

Here's what we have sold today:

Items

Microwave oven - $ 6.00
Glass decor (set of 3) - 3.00
Decorative plate - 2.00
Small cabinet -3.00
Rug (large) -15.00
Picture painting -3.00
Wall Mirror (medium) -5.00
Coffee maker -2.00
Phone (with cord) - .50
Sweater -1.00
Bead bracelet -.50
Lampshade (set of 2) -5.00

We do not have that much to garage sale but we want to get rid of the things we're not gonna use. What's nice is that we got to participate in the neighborhood activity for the first time.

My pregnant cousin and her husband will come over for a visit. She said she might go look for garage sales too.
