People amaze me! Most just want everything for free. (here let us put this all out and just come take what you want) Trichelle had the cutest dressers that she had painted and was selling for only $50 and someone had the nerve to ask her if she would take $5...ummm no! They sold fast and would have even if they would have been priced higher. Another gal asked Trichelle how much for a grocery bag FULLof clothes...cute clothes. Trichelle said $5 and so the gal went and took from one bag and made it fuller and then asked if she could have the less full bag for $2. Seriously???? A gal that I knew stopped over and found a bag that I had brought full of wood circles and asked me how much for the bag...I told her $3. The wood in it was all brand new and probably cost me around $30. She thought $3 was too much and told me so and wanted me to come up with another price. I told her she could decide....since she thought I was ripping her off...I chose to let her rip me off instead. She decided that she only wanted to pay $3 total for the bag of wood, 3 metal stars on stands, and two painted sunflowers. I thought it was so weird and funny. If we didn't want to make money we would have just gave it all to the DI. (I didn't want to make any money though and told Trichelle everything that sold of mine was for her. Heck...they took everything left over to the DI and it saved me a trip.)
A few stamps sold but the best part was that a lady came at the very end of the yard sale and mentioned that she worked at the Roy Senior Center. We asked if they would like to have my collection of rubber stamps to use for their craft days and she thought that they would be delighted. I was so happy that my stamps were going to a good place and that they would be enjoyed and used. The lady even told me that if I ever needed to use a stamp that I knew where they were and could go use them. (I know I will never want to use them again..but thought that was nice) It felt good to load up her car and send her off with all those stamps. It just felt wonderful to get rid of another car load of stuff I don't need.
When Larry got home we took the boat out to Willard to make sure it still works. I had plans but Larry really needed me to help him and so I felt that I'd better help him. Ivy and Zaden wanted to go with us and so they did. Jared is always a good helper and likes being with us. Willard is really low this year...like in the marina it's only 4 feet deep...the rest of the bay is around 12-20. Not good boating waters but for what we needed it was fine. Larry know the low spots and so he was able to open the boat up and go fast. Zaden loved going fast....me.....not so much. (only because of the low waters) We stopped and the kids put their feet in the water and Jared decided to jump off the tower. His life jacket didn't even look completely wet...he was out of that cold water so fast. We all laughed out loud at him and his expressions. Larry mentioned that was it for Willard Bay this year. We will be headed to Bear Lake a few times this summer instead. That's the good thing about the water being down at Willard....otherwise we don't take the time to drive to Bear Lake. Willard is just so close and convenient.
