Yard Sale weekend

As I mentioned in my last post, we were getting ready for our community yard sale.  Dick took the day off work on Friday, and we were up at 5 am to set up.  It was a beautiful day.




This was my view - not a cloud in the sky.




We did not have the crowds like we did in years past.  But we got rid of a nice amount of stuff.  Destiny was happy with the money we made on some of her things. 

I took this picture at 9:10 pm.  I just LOVE June and how long the daylight lasts in the evening.  That's a crescent moon up there. 




Friday was my sister Barb's wedding anniversary, so we sisters were reminiscing that evening.  1978.  Lisa was her flower girl.  





I played piano.  Even we Mennonites liked Farrah Fawcett hair, hahaha!  




Saturday morning we were out there again and we sold more things, but as usual, lots of stuff left over.  Ugh!!




In the evening I went to a park with Destiny and Elizer after she got off work.









Dick met us there after he got finished mowing at Anthony's.  That's him in the back of Elizer's fire truck.



Lots of fun, of course. 




I snapped this picture of my purple salvia before church this morning.  




My knockout rose bush is full of blooms and buds.  





We haven't mulched around it yet, but we'll get that done this week.




The little hot paprika rose bush that Sam and the kids gave me last June has its first bloom and many, many buds.





Today was National Cancer Survivors Day.  I took this picture of Dick.  He is a 26-year survivor!  He was diagnosed with Lymphoma soon after his 46th birthday and had recurrences four or five times since.  But 2014 was the last.  Eight years!!  Hallelujah!!





I have some good things to look forward to this week, but I'll hopefully blog in a few days to let you know about that.

I'm glad you got rid of a bunch of stuff and had nice weather too.
Your flowers are so pretty.
Look at Lisa! So cute. I had Farrah Fawcett hair too. :)
Big praises for Dicks survival story.
