April Fool - Not

The last few days we have had terrible storms in our area. Although the rain was a welcome relief from the heat, it did a great deal of damage to our garage sale staging area. Furniture that we were hoping to sell has started to warp slightly from the moisture. I've set those in the sun to see if the will dry out today. Boxes we had filled with clothes are now soggy boxes filled with soggy clothes. We need to unpack and launder everything so it doesn't mold. When that's done, we'll be deciding on a charity to donate all of our stuff.

Yes, I said it, donate. I have never been a garage sale person so I wasn't fond of the idea of having a garage sale. It was part of the plan to pay for the moving truck. Luckily, our refund will be able to cover that expense, so we don't need to sell anything. I'd rather call the Salvation Army to come and pick everything up anyhow. So that's what we are doing. This weekend, instead of having our big moving sale, we will be sorting out what items we can give to our friends, and which items we will be donating.

With only 60 days left until the move, Salvation Army my have to stop by a few times. I'm getting tired of packing!
