So, I wrote a few weeks ago about Rob & I cleaning out the attic---the clean out came to a head on Saturday when we had our yard sale at Nancy & Marty's house. We arrived at 6:30am ready to sell! All of our wares were set up and it was the same day as the county wide yard sale...And soon, the crowds came!! People were coming quicker than we could keep up with--By 1:00pm, the sale was done, the crowds were gone, Rob & I had $300 in our pocket and we were on the way to the DAV with the left over stuff. We arrived at Nancy's on Friday night with a trailer filled to the brim, the bed of Rob's truck filled to the brim and the back seat of the truck filled to the brim. I went home with one lonely Rubbermaid container on Saturday afternoon! WOO HOO! What a great feeling :)
Sunday brought some rain in the morning, which knocked our boating adventure for that morning out. We had to be at our Morgan Family picnic at 4pm so once the sun showed up, it was too late to go out. So, we decided to wash and clean out my car instead. It was filthy! So, glad that worked out like it did. We went to the picnic at 4:30. That was held at Aunt Mary Jo's house this year...a great spot for a picnic! I wish I had taken some pictures, but I left my camera at home. Sitting on her waterfront yard at a wooden picnic table with mason jars filled with hydrangeas surrounded by family made me think of simpler times. The kids were running through the yard playing with sticks and dirt and having a ball, no batteries required :) The food was simple, yet fantastic--hot dogs, hamburgers and sweet tea. I think the scene from that yard yesterday could've just as easily occurred in 1964...I think we all need to take time out for a little simplicity every now and again.
