Hi Guys Kim here...

Mike , glad you are doing OK.. Stay healthy...

Well Iguess I am in the minority. I have never read a Harry Potter book and I saw the 1st movie on cable TV but have not seen any others....

Peter, are we still on for the cookout with Mary Jo & family? Are we still doing it here in NH ?? Touch base with me later and we can work the details.

Mom decided that we should have a yard sale this weekend to
" purge" , we cleaned the attic, main house and garage. We are totally estatic !!! we made $ 1683.00 today and have tomorrow still to go. One big deposit towards the Panama cruise on the way....

Well we are pooped and off the be lazy, have a nice evening everyone..

Bye, Kim

Holy Smokes, Kim!!! You guys made a killing today! My MIL, the yard and garage sale queen, will envy you! It is the best feeling to clean up and out around the house, and be able to make great money at the same time! I always have the hardest time deciding what to part with.....got that from my mom. When we moved from Cleveland to Denver when I was 16, somehow our grade school uniforms made it out with us.....she simply refused to part with them (more so the memories, I guess!)

Good luck with the day tomorrow!

 

[Hygiene99]

yes to the Event with MJ..

Having been in the Attic of Kim and Bette I would say that
most of the stuff is probably gone if u are thinking of heading to the Yard sale in New Hampshire will call when we return from our Vacation .....

Kim,

We didn't do as well as you and Bette, but our local newspaper sponsored a large yard sale yesterday. Me and Lenny went with bins full of Haley's old (new) clothes. I got rid of a lot of stuff and made $323 in the process. We are going to have another one at home to see if we can make more.

More money for the cruise!

Pétér,

There were quite a few threads about this about a month ago. It seems that since Barb is now a travel agent and has links there from her original website, it was banned from the site. They said that no links to commercial for profit sites are allowed. They also said that Barb isn't banned, just posting the name of her site. I guess since she has the website in her signature that is why it got banned.

Here's a link to one thread about this that got locked:

Poor Smarty Jones! But what a race!
Nancy, Sorry about your package mix-up. Have a good time in Tampa.
DH took DD out diving this morning. First time he's used the dive equipment this year. DD got to pet a wild dolphin underwater. It came right up to her, and it even had a calf by it's side.
Peter and Jen, Have a great trip to the Mouse House (again!)
Wow, I should think about having a garage sale. Sound like a win-win situation, clean out the house and make money too. Just need to find the time to do it.

Hi the everyone!

Later, Avé

 

[RellingTwin]

DH is SO HAPPY!!! Mark Martin finally won a NASCAR race! 1st time in almost 2 years!!

Ave, cool about DD getting to pet a dolphin! BTW...I once again have one of your Disney towels! DD thought the DCL towel was ours and brought it home to SC! I will bring it back in July

Bummer about Smarty Jones I really thought he was going to win!

We are also planning a yard sale! We have tons of stuff! We hope to make a BIG pile of $

Mike...lay off the cheeseburgers please! Glad you are doing ok!

 

[bettemom]

Hi everyone...

Hope you all had a nice weekend and I can't beleive it is back to work tomorrow.
The yard sale today was only $ 13.00 , not quite as good as yesterday, but the rains came in.. We packed up a car load of things to go to charity and the rest of the stuff we put on the front lawn with a FREE sign. It took about 3 minuted for the locust to arrive. It was a hoot watching the things people will take for free...

Well I got the final decision from my boss, he is selling the lab to another company, luckily the owner of that company and I worked together at Caterpillar for 10 years and get on great

The bad thing is that our present lab building sold in 4 days and the new owners want to move in on July 1. We have not even built the new lab yet... Oh waht fun the next month will be (NOT). However I will now only be 15 mins from home and not 40+ minutes.

So cool about petting the wild dolphin, would love to get a chance to do that.

Peter, you would not recognize the attic, it looke positively empty compared to when you were up there. Of course I did not part with anything from the Disney collection.

Off to watch a little TV.

Bye, Kim

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Boston Peter...looks like we may be helping Kim move the lab into their attic while we are up there...LOL!!!

Peter...I have picked up about 50 crowns from Burger King for you to pass out to fellow cruisers....hope this will suffice since you can't imagine how much it cost me to buy 50 Happy Meals (or is that McDonalds??)

Sarah saw Harry Potter this morning at 11:00 a.m. and loved it...she can get up for a movie but forget it if I try to wake her for 11:00 Mass!! I am not into Harry Potter at all...haven't watched the movies nor read the books!

 

[Twinave]

Mary Jo, LOL about Sarah getting up for the movie, but not mass. I remember doing he same thing on Sunday mornings. But my mom had a very strict rule about missing school or church. You miss it because you're sick, then you are too sick to leave the house for the rest of the day.
Kim, If you want to pet dolphin come on down to Panama City. We would love to have you and Bette. Then I could send my DD to your house to see real "snow'. LOL
Mary, SO GLAD that Mark Martin won! You guys must be dancing on the ceiling!
Hope everyone has a great week!

Later, Avé

Forgot to post that on Friday night we couldn't decide what we wanted for dinner..we decided on pancakes and sausage. DH started the pancakes and the griddle apparently was too hot and started to smoke...lots. Well...we have a security system (fire & burglary) and happen to live right around the corner from the local firehouse. The pancakes started to smoke...the fire alarm started to blare and I heard the sirens start and I thought oh no, they can't be headed here!! Usually, the alarm company calls us back to make sure everything is ok but the phone line was tied up due to the alarm sounding--by the time the alarm company called to ask us if everything was ok, I had 2 firetrucks, the fire marshall, an ambulance and a guy at my door with an ax!! Talk about excitement...how do you spell EMBARRASED!!!!

Hi Mary Jo, what a hoot!!!!

However I do know exactly what you were feeling. Years ago while my parents stayed in Vegas with their brother and his wife myself and a sister took my niece to Ca. to see Disneyland. We stayed with her SIL and SIL daughter in their " she she " condo, 4 floors and security guards and every type of alarm possible.

One morning the teenage daughter left for school after her mom went to work. The teenager totally forgot that we were sleeping on the 3rd floor and set the alarms. My sister woke up and went down the 1st flight of stairs and of course every alarm goes off. We could not get the alarm to shut off and by the time we did get thru to the alarm co. they said it was too late, the Long Beach police were outside our front door. Being summer and quite hot we were not wearing clothing that you really wanted to open the front door in. I was better dressed so I opened the front door onto a patio landing and came face to face with the police with guns drawn pointing at me. It took a few minutes of fast talking to explain about the alarm. Would someone really burgularize a house dresses only in a short nightshirt ??

I am sure were were the joke for the police for that day....

Mary Jo, you may need to bring your moving skils ... Have no idea what we are going to do, but this should prove interesting...

Off to get ready for work,

Bye, Kim

[cdnmickeylover]

Mary Jo that was funny!!! I can picture Sarah with her nose in a book trying to ignore what her parents are up to as well!!! Totally understand the getting up thing too. DS can't get up for school by himself but yesterday morning had to get up early to be at the amouries for 8am and he was up and ready to go without any prompting. He was actually involved in the D-day memorial held at the legislature downtown as part of a walk past by 1000 members of the present day reserve forces. Saw it on tv and it was actually quite amazing. Also watched some of the services in Normandy which were very moving.

Kim & Bette -- ok have to ask what you sold for $1600. That is a totally amazing garage sale. Renee -- you didn't do too badly either. We are never that lucky although I hope to have one this summer just to get rid of stuff.

Back to work since it's only Monday.
