Garage sale weekend! We took a bunch of stuff over to the Harrison's today to help them out by making their sale look bigger. And we wound up making over $250 which was a lot more than they did. And that without any big ticket items, really, mostly clothes. Some dishes. Missy's old bike. Some books, some CDs, and some junk. The Harrison's big stuff did not sell, which is a bummer for them. Alex was at a sleepover for most of the time we were doing the sale. That is a brave family. They had several boys over, and the evening before, took them all out to dinner and to a Fort Wayne TinCaps game (which did get played in it's entirety, despite a threat of heavy rain) and kept them until around 5 the next day. Video game overload there I imagine. Last Wednesday, a tree guy I ran into at the credit union a couple weeks ago came to take down the big oak tree that leaned over the house. Now, it's an e-freakin-normous pile of logs and sawdust, and a stump with some 150 rings in it. And ants. Big black ones, mad that we cut down their house. The Purvises have claimed the wood, and by their faces they did not really know what that was going to mean. Getting this wood split and carried off it going to be a big job. During the week, Alex had his last orchestra concert on Monday, as he is not going to continue with the viola. Since it was on Star Wars day they played the theme music, which was cool. Tuesday the softball game was rained out.
