Successful Garage Sale!


My sisters and I had a successful garage sale yesterday during the city-wide sales. It was a beautiful day, though it did get a little warm in the afternoon. It was kind of like old times since they were both here to "share the pain"! Corby had to work a half-day, so he picked my mom up on his way home, and she was here for a few hours. Mom, my sisters and I have had wildly successful garage sales in the past. I think our biggest money maker was in the mid-90's, when we made almost $2000 between all of us. We used to live in the south part of town, right off Pawnee, so we had a lot of drive-by traffic. We've never been that successful in Park City, but we still try to do one at least once a year. My butt is sure dragging today though! They are a LOT of work. That coupled with a really busy week at work has worn me out!

We are planning a visit to see Brandon in a few weeks (maybe I'll rent a car!)...Corby and the twins had planned on going camping the weekend of October 11th, and then we found out Senior Day at K-State is Monday the 13th. They've decided to camp at Tuttle Creek (right outside Manhattan) and Brandon is going to go camping with them. I'm going up for the day on Saturday, but will come home that night (I HATE TO CAMP!)...they will stay through Monday so the twins can go to Senior Day - and I will get some "ME" time!

How about those Chiefs? They played football today! And beat those dreaded Broncos! I was beginning to wonder if they would go winless this season. Sorry, not much confidence in them right now!

VACATION

On vacation for a few days (return to work on Thursday)...here's where I wish I was... I plan on enjoying some peace and quiet...and possibly, if I get motivated, getting some cleaning and organizing done in the office area of the basement. We'll see if that motivation arrives (it's not here yet)... Good news for Park City residents...recycling came to town the first of January. We are charged $4.00 month (added onto our already high water bill); but it has lowered the price of our trash pickup. The company P.C. contracted with has a much lower price than the company we use. Our company matched the price, so our trash bills went down (considerably) AND we get to recycle. We can recycle almost all our plastics, newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans, cereal boxes, glass, motor oil, etc. We've got two big bags to set out tomorrow. Just doin' our part for the environment. We are without hot water right now...our hot water heater needs a new thermo-couple? It's a fair

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore
