Garage Sale

I think it is a record for us, we walked all five days this week.  When we got home, I cleaned out my closet of some shirts that have not been worn since I retired.  I added them to the other things I had collected for the family garage sale this weekend.  After I priced everything, I took it down to Cathy's and right away I noticed an outdoor set of table and chairs.  I visited with Bob and Cathy for a bit, then set up our table and arranged the stuff on it.  I made a mail and credit union run before heading home.  I told Vera about the table and chairs, we looked at the area where they would go and she said to go for it!  I went down and they only wanted $100 for the set, so I bought it.
I was able to fit it into the van and back right up to the deck to unload.  Three loads later and we were done.  When Rick and I were putting the table in the van, Rick came face to face with a wasp nest that had been built on the tailgate. Boy did his eyes get big, he was back peddling like crazy!  I closed the tailgate very gently, came home and sprayed the heck out of it.  When we were done with the table and I was putting the van back where I park it, there was a bunch of wasps flying around waiting!  Big surprise some went in the seam of the left front door, I opened it carefully and there was a nest hanging off the hinge.  I closed it very gently and plan on spraying it after dark.  Michelle and James stopped by after taking their stuff to the garage sale, we had a great time telling them about our falling book case and wasp nests.  It was another hot day, 96.7 the last time I looked.
