Interesting Week-end

Well, this was an interesting weekend. I asked to be on the estate sales committee at church, so Friday and Saturday was my first experience with this.
It took four half days and lots of volunteers the week before to get the house ready for the sale. The house had been vacant for several years but now it has been sold.

It took a lot of work to toss out items from the garage that didn't have any value.
The men from the church worked hard on this and filled a large dumpster.
The house was transformed inside for the sale. People lined up before 8 o'clock Friday morning. Dealers were some of the first ones in line. One man asked if there was any jewelry inside and he wanted to know where it was located. It was costume jewelry from the 20s through the 50s.
Nearly all the furniture sold the first day. I was surprised at how it all added up.
The Atwater United Methodist Church hosts the estates sales and the percentage of the money the church makes goes toward missionary work.
