Two Months, a New Book!

Today was the two month anniversary of our LID, and it was pretty much an adoption-themed day.



We had our yard sale today, actually part of a neighborhood yard sale that Amy organized with one other lady in the subdivision.



We did okay, making about $275 for the adoption fund. A lot of that came from the $90 sale of CDs I decided that since I had never listened to them in 3 years or more I ought to sell them. I wanted to make more, but the only offers I got were from people wanting to buy the whole lot with minimal pricing.



We had a mid-morning visit from our friends the Hoffmans. They are also on the waiting list and they enjoyed meeting Lucy, and I gave Tymm a book I liked and thought he would enjoy, Ted Dekker's Blink.



After cleaning up and resting a bit, we went to dinner at Stevie B's Pizza (knockoff of CiCi's) where we both ate the pizza and salad buffet for $9.19 (with our coupon) including drinks and tax.



After dinner we drove across the parking lot to our Barnes & Noble and Amy picked our third book for Lynn Marie....

yea on the sale! A site you might want to check out to figure out how to sell stuff on ebay is Yardsalequeen.com. I went there for help for my yardsale last year and it is amazing what they sell on line. Maybe that might be a way for you make some money for your adoption fund.
