Simple Living

I sent an email to all my friends and told them to pass it on if they knew of someone who could use the list of stuff we had. One friend posted it on her employer's electronic bullentin board and by evening the same day almost everything was gone! I listed all the big ticket items and they went like hot cakes! LOL THe smaller items I just boxed up and took to the Salvation Army. Someone mentioned their local Salvation Army was not taking donations - unfortunately summer it an extremely busy time and depending on the size of the store/area for storage they have to stop donations from coming in as they cannot keep up (everyone seems to clean out their house in summer as well as what does not sell at garage sales ends up at the Sally Ann). Unfortunately as well, about 80% of what is donated is tossed (lots of people use the thrift store to dump stuff instead of taking it to the dump where it belongs).

Anyway it feels so good to be rid of the extra stuff. We have a couple bigger items left and will take them to the salvation army as well later in the week.
