The Joy of Having a Yard Sale

  Sometimes you have to let go of the things you love. We spent all of Memorial Weekend in the 95+ degree heat taking money from people who came to the yard sale because one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. We set up the clothes rack on Thursday night and Friday I worked all...

Same Day Delivery – but read the fine print

When Mother’s Day rolls around and you don’t live in the same town, let alone same state that your mother does, what do you do? Usually you send something so Mom gets it on or before the big day so she knows you are thinking about her. Which is exactly what my daughter did. She...
