I almost forgot!

Yet another extension of grace during garage sale weekend...My friends Andrea, Makayla, and Cassie had come to help us set up Saturday morning. By time they arrived things were pretty well underway. Instead of wishing us well and going home, they stayed and helped me clean the whole house while Craig manned the front porch pay table! This was such a HUGE blessing! My house was in complete disorder when they arrived and when they left I had not one dirty dish, my floors were all vacuumed, the loads of empty boxes and trash were hauled out of my basement and my kitchen sink was beautifully bleached shiny sparkling white! Yay! I had so not been looking forward to tackling the aftermath of the sale and what a blessing it was to sink into bed that evening at a decent hour without having to shut out the chaos of a house out of order. Thank you girls - i will be looking for ways to return the favor!
