Ebay Unpredictability - Who Knew!

As I am writing this I have just completed my daily shipping chores for my ebay stuff. I LOVE to sell stuff and get it out of my house. I think I have a twisted purpose in doing so. I believe I like to have that positive feedback to make my day. I know, it's sick! I am moving to a much more mature reasoning for having this ebay obsession....money, or my lack of it. I enjoy watching things leave my house and go to all parts of the world. Vladimir from Slovakia emailed me the other day about some pins I had for sale. Extremely broken English, so cool! He unfortunately couldn't buy the pins he wanted because of some restriction, so my pins went to Cary, NC .... oooo, how exotic a place is that?!@# Anyway, it's such a small world and a crazy one at that! I can list my limited edition, low numbered, worth tons of money disney pins and get .99 a piece for them and then I can list a pin made by the toyota company that they gave out for free to their car buyers and sell it for $13.00. What is up with that? People are so funny about their emotional purchases when it comes to that. I think they get caught up in the last minute bidding war. I can just hear it in my head...."mine, no its mine, mine, no mine" just like toddlers fighting over toys. Silly, really. When it comes right down to it, none of it really matters anyway. You can't take it with you. But it is helping me make some much needed dough, so bid all you want. You never know when you'll need that butt ugly leg lamp from The Christmas Story movie!
Check it out! http://www.redriderleglamps.com/productDetails.cfm?merchID=2&showDescription=yes You can also purchase this lamp with a free nightlight! Wow, what have I been missing out on?

Then you can always peruse through Sarah's Backyard, my ebay store to see what else you thought you didn't need, but now realize you can't live without!

Summer Fun!

Awesome day! Dani, Jake and Sarah had a blast you can tell by the circles under their eyes as they try to keep them open a little longer. A trip to the park to try out the new equipment. Rock climbing....yes! Says Sarah! One day as she dangles off some cliff somewhere I'm sure I'll get a little picture mail with the view! She climbs like a girl, too! (Which is better than a boy, BTW!) My little spider monkey! Anyway enjoy the views of our day as we rounded it out with a trip to Birkdale fountain for a little water time! The day isn't done til you have been soaking wet! Summertime motto.

Sarah, lovin' life!

Go Dani, go!

Jake, suckin' it in for the camera!

Sims, what a bathing beauty!

Cicada Songs and Cool Breezes

So, sitting on the front porch listening to the Cicadas and letting the breeze blow by is one of my favorite things to do. I love my porch.......I really love my porch! When we built this house this was one of my wishes on the wish list and I got it. It has entertained famous people (mostly my friends that are famous to me) and has provided sunshine and a much needed napping spot for my cat. It has seen tears of laughter and pain, heard songs of praise, prayers in desperation, pitter patter of little feet, raindrops blowing in, thunder clapping in the distance, and the constant creaking of my porch swing. It provides a haven for visitors to come sit under the ceiling fans and escape the heat. Many a conversation has been struck on this porch, many an idea of world peace, many recipe exchanges, many bible studies, lots of bible reading, but most of all it is a place of complete solitude with the man upstairs when the Cicadas are singing and the breeze is blowing.........................
