Reprise: "STUFF"

Only an hour after I had my Fr. Roast coffee on the patio........the 1st Lady and I were moving STUFF out of the garage and onto the driveway. This was being done as we prepare for our garage/yard sale on Friday and Saturday of this week. WEEEELLLLLLLLL...........we HAD everything in the garage sorted into three areas: things we are keeping, things that need to go to the 1st Lady's relatives(family antiques), AND....STUFF/THINGS that we were going to sell.

As this is to be a "Remodeling Sale", we have many, many items of furniture and lamps, etc., etc that we no longer need now that we have purchased several rooms of new furniture...last year. AND....there were many, many, many other things and "stuff" that is/was to be sold. OK......now the 1st Lady is beginning to feel that we might "need" some of this stuff at some later date....!!!!

After all of the confrontations we had about the STUFF in the house last year, I thought we had come to agreements over much of this STUFF, but .......now???? She is having a change of heart/mind about a lot of this......DAMN!!!!! I am at my wit's end as to how to get this STUFF sold now that she wants to keep more than we will ever need!!!!!! Where do we put it????? What do we do with it???? STUFF!!!!!! It NEEDS to be sold........this weekend.

Of course, the temps/humidity didn't help things as we brought this STUFF out onto the driveway......and it just continued to get hotter and hotter as the afternoon wore on. About 3:30 we realized that it was going to storm and rain.....and most of the STUFF was still on the driveway, sooooo....it was hurry, hurry, hurry to get the STUFF brought back into the garage in some type of chaotic order. Success! Everything was back in the dry, but humid garage be the time the storm arrived. NOW.....tomorrow, we have to shuffle around to get prices on the furniture and everything else....and hopefully, we will be able to work outside on this project.

And soooooo, after a light supper, we are putting price tags on the STUFF she brought INTO the house. Nevertheless.......

Life is Great....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!

I'm so glad my Father didn't know about your "stuff" sale. Otherwise you wouldn't have to worry about your "STUFF", because it would end up in the basement at my folks with all of their other "STUFF"

And we don't even want to go there!!
