None

No photos either. We are all kinda beat after carrying the left-overs of a Yard Sale to Salvation Army at about 1:30pm. Hours spent preparing and implementing. Profits came to about $400; incredible how many folk show up not only very early but also are carrying $20 bills in their pockets. "Does anyone have change...?"

Fortunately, most all that was on the lawn and ready to sell at 8am did get purchased. Several did indeed inquire about who was going to Africa (no, not I... yet), and a few actually listened to why R&C were going there. Most said, 'Good luck." If only they knew... One or two left a dollar or two extra for the future missionaries' venture.

So by majority vote (Dad counts as 3, so too does Mom) proceeds go toward the youngsters' outgoing expenses. Less the cost of bagels to sustain the sellers during the morning.

To celebrate more space at 1406 we went to the outdoor pool for a dip and a few laps. Ah!
