It took all day, but we made it through all the boxes in the middle of the floor. You could actually park a car in the garage! I kept less than one box and I shed no tears!
I am definitely blessed with wonderful friends. Michelle and her sweet little ones showed up and had a will of iron. She was not bothered to say it was time to let things go. She took home a car full of stuff that will be stored in her garage until we can find a way and a day to have a garage sale! Kellie attacked the boxes of books and then helped Michelle with ALL the clothes. When the bags and boxes had finally been sorted Kellie took a car full of "valuables" to Goodwill and then kept Alex for the afternoon so that decisions could be made regarding stuff without an 11 year old's help. Perry and Susan showed up in the middle of it and jumped right in. Susan helped to continue sort clothes (yes there was a lot of clothes to sort) while Perry loaded boxes and bags into the various cars and truck. He then delivered the dishwasher to it's new owner. Pam then came and replaced all the handles on the cabinet doors and washed down all their fronts. She then attacked the counter tops and wrestled the couch cover. And in the middle of it while I was feeling a little overwhelmed, Kim called and made me laugh (she's in Arkansas so she couldn't help with the boxes).
I just wonder how people make it in this world without Christian friends! Thank you to everyone who helped today by either being here, or calling, or praying. It was a good day!
And.... the house is being shown tomorrow morning at 10 to first time shoppers and at 1:00 to a family who has already seen it twice... could this be it?
