Yard Sale Success

Our yard sale yesterday went well! We had a few challenges (our signs from Thursday got taken down, rain was predicted, it was 50* and windy outside) but generally Chris's preparation saved the day. We made new signs and had purchased "tarps" (aka shower curtains) to throw over the tables when the rain came. Luckily it didn't rain until about 1:30, so we got a few hours of selling in.

Special thanks to our friends who came to buy things and to help us sell. We were also blessed to have Chris's sister Corinne and niece Libby in town visiting and they helped us a lot!





Start of the day (with Chris's sister, Cori greeting)














Cori made us a great poster describing where we are going and what we are doing.
















How much is that baby in the pack n' play?
















Some real characters showed up!
















Who can resist that face?!












It's a little colder than Mississippi, eh?
(thank you to Adams and Weaver families for extra baby layers!)















How every good yard sale should end :-)










Overall we had fun, met cool people, and raised a decent amount of money for Project Kenya and projects in Ribe. Yay!
