Fall clean-up

with this new job of mine I never really know what day of the week I get a day off my supervisor says she has a system. huh?

well I had today off and guess how I spent it going to the dump.  It’s all good my truck has been loaded since Monday. I had planned on going Monday but I woke up to sounds of pitter patter out side my window. Out in the small town your taking your sanity to a new level trying to get around on muddy slipper roads at the dump.

So I put this job off until today.

Have a Great Day!

Getting My Garage Back!!!

It may not seem like a big deal to some, but my journey to my little Colorado cottage has
taken me a little longer than I thought to finally get through my STUFF!!
I'm still in the unpacking stage ( I've been here for 6 months!!!) it is so hard to let go of some of my treasures that I have been hauling with me for the past 15 years.


I've always been a collector, but when my husband died, I decided I really can't be moving all my stuff.. and the girl's stuff too. As they get older, there is a lot that I don't need to have a around any more.... you know like all the must have toys and books that over whelmed the house starting when our angel turned one! I've moved from a 2000 sq ft house to a 1200 sq ft house and then to my cottage. It's a 900 sq ft house. Whew!!! thank goodness I have a large garage with a loft! But downsizing is a must!

The shelve don't look like much, but they have been a godsend to help me organize the piles of boxes that where in this garage.

It's a slow process sorting through it all, but I'm working on getting a yard sale going soon I'll let you know how it went.



Have a Great

Did Someone Say "YARDSALE"

I think it is "Yard Sale" time.

In February I signed loan papers on this little cottage. Thank goodness it has a two car garage. I had all the boxes put in the garage, until I had time to weed them out.

I really didn't think I had so much stuff. The house that I was renting was around 2000 sq ft farm house, very large rooms and lots of storage. So I have been slowly going through boxes and finding homes for my collectibles that I really love and have been carting around with me for 20 some years, the rest I must let some else enjoy.

So.............. I made the decision to have YARD SALE.


Do you realize how much thought is needed to pull off a great yard sale?

- Decide what weekend would be covenient

- for less stress....start pricing your items for the sale as you sort

- Friday is the best day to have a "Yard Sale" in my little town so...........

- Put the "Yard Sale" add in the local paper two or three day before the sale, so that the bargain hunter can plan there day

- having the table set up Thursday afternoon, knowing that there will be looky-loo that saw your add and show up as your setting up the tables.

And the most important thing is to have your sign out on the main drag with the arrow pointing the right way! lol I've exactly had that happen to me, one of my signs was pointing the wrong way until a customer came and told me bless their hearts.

Thank goodness my mom and her husband really enjoy the outing so they drive 2 hour and stay with me and help me price things and give me a relief when nature calls and they love visiting with all the people that stop by.

So wish me luck!
