'That's a lot of money for a bunch of JUNK'

...that's how my (Sam's) dad summed up our yard sale.  We raised about $1,000 towards the adoption expenses!  It was amazing how much better it went with so many people involved.  We had some leftover stuff from our last yard sale, but the 'good' stuff came from our friends and from a local business who held a consignment sale a few months ago and gave us all the stuff no one came back to pick up.  And let me tell you, it was a  LOT.  Because this was part of the World's Widest Yard Sale it was a Friday, Saturday, Sunday affair.  I took it all to my parent's the weekend before and they got it all put out and some-what priced.  I have an aversion to spending lots of time pricing stuff for a dime.

Beverly Hillbillies?  All we needed was Granny

Even though it was a bunch of junk, God used it to not only allow us to raise some funds for the Adoption but also talk to folks about our adoption.  We were beyond blessed and so thankful for our family and friends who helped out.
