The destination for our caravan of furniture, household items and basically all the rest of my SIL’s unclaimed worldly goods was here.
.

.
The charity rummage sale at our local town hall.
.

.
We missed the regular donation hours by a mile but the kind ladies that are organizing the sale opened the building for us late in the afternoon.
.

.
After giving them 3 truck loads full of things from our cellar last week , and then these three loads… I’d say they’re going to have a very profitable sale this year.
By the time we were through carrying it all in the hall, we were literally through as well. Hot, tired and thirsty.
And you know what means.
.

.
A trip to our local pub… where we bought everyone drinks and a meal as a way to say thank you. We even talked the rummage sales ladies who don’t drink into a drink.
.

A rummage sale? Wouldn’t it have been quicker just to give it directly to your husband?

I’ll have a drink to that! You all deserve much more! Look what you’ve done! I watched my cousin (my uncle is 86 and doesn’t know anyone, his wife in rehab not doing well) clear out the “farm” of 65 years. Due to physical limitations, I’m not much help anymore (I used to be strong and could do so much more). I offer support as I can…meals, small loads, run errands,…I think and pray for you all daily now!

Now I know why people down South croon over yard sales up North. Interesting stuff.

I’ve lived in both places and I have to say, north beats south hands down.

ha, and I think it depends on the place, the time, and the people involved. I can’t make a blanket statement but some parts of the North do appear to be downtrodden lately. I hope things come together.

And if any of the rummage sale ladies turn into alcoholics, we will know who caused that too. But glad you had good times and worked till you were beat, like the good slaves you were.

One rum punch does not an alcoholic make. I know this because she asked the bartender for the sweetest drink they made..

Having been an addictions counsellor, if a person has a physical allergy to alcohol, one drink is all it might take.
I was trying to be funny, but you made a statement that could not go unchallenged. The disease is not as rare as one might think.
