Happy Saturday Everyone! it's sunny here today but the temperatures aren't quite as warm as the last few days. Looks like we're heading for another roller coaster ride with some days next week going down overnight as low as freezing.
My daughter just went out to pick up her prescriptions and do a few quick errands so I figured I'd pop on here and say hi.
We got a notice that our community spring yard sale is May 2 so if I can continue working on my spring cleaning I might actually have some things that could bring in some $$
Since the Purple Heart didn't come on Thursday to pick up our donations I might reconsider some of the things I was going to donate and see if they would sell at the yard sale. If not, then I can always donate them. Seems like a win win. Maybe it was a stroke of luck that our donations didn't get picked up.
Our Walmart grocery delivery came early. Neither my daughter nor I felt like going to do a pick-up so we decided on delivery and got to enjoy a leisurely breakfast and coffee,
Nothing planned for the day but sometimes days without plans turn out the best.
Hope you're Saturday is going well

Hopefully you will do well at the yard sale. I used to enjoy going to yard sales back when I was still driving. There were plenty of them all over on a Saturday.

Yes we're heading into the season where yard & garage sales are popular. I used to enjoy going to yard sales too but haven't in the last few years.

Making money from stuff you don't want anymore is always nice but Pretty and I don't want to do anymore yard sales. We did two at the last house and both of us got sunburned and got tired of people trying to talk our prices down. If they didn't want to buy stuff, they should have gone looking at Walmart.
Nothing happening here today. We had cold storms last night that dropped the temps from the mid-70s to mid-50s for a high today. Pretty hasn't turned the heat back on in the house so it's 69F instead of 74F in here right now. I'm comfortable but she won't be when she wakes up.

I hate the idea of having to haggle with people over prices. I didn't do our community yard sale last year as it just seemed like too much of an effort to lug all that stuff outside and then back in if it doesn't sell. If I decide to do it this year it will be a minimum of stuff.
Our temperatures dropped and it's chilly here today. I wouldn't be surprised if we needed the heat on tonight.

@Marilynda1225 When I got up to take my morning meds, it was 65F in the house this morning. I turned the heat on.

That would be great if you could make some money. I still wish I could have a garage sale, but my dad is pretty adamant that we will again have one. I’m pretty.sure is the 29 years he’s lived there, we only had one garage sale! Apparently, that was all he could take.

A garage sale can be a bit overwhelming. I didn't do our community yard sale last year as it just seemed to be too much of an effort to lug everything outside and then back in if no one bought stuff.
Hopefully your dad will agree to having one

Well good morning and Happy Saturday to you!
There are 2 of us who borrowed your post title today, it made me smile so I hope that we see others join in.
I would do an online search to see what items are popular at yard sales, and then you will have a better idea how to price things.
Today is travel day.
Ron and our son and his family left in the middle of the night for the airport. The babies were so excited, and they remained that way even after their short flight to Toronto, I am sure that they will crash on the 5 plus hour ride to the west coast. I hope that I can relax and do just as well on my flight tomorrow. My cab is booked to arrive in a little less than 3 hours.

Hope your family arrived at the west coast safely and that the girls didn't have too much trouble with all the traveling. Enjoy your trip and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. I bet the girls will be excited to see you when you arrive
I was smiling when I saw my post title being used. It would certainly be fun to see what others would post as a good mood theme

@Marilynda1225 The girls were wonderful travellers.
They sang quietly, the ABC's and Twinkle Twinkle and little songs like that which they love so much.
Yesterday and today I tagged along with Grandpa to look after the babies, and I just said to him that I cannot keep up with him, his energy level is so much better than mine is.

Happy Saturday to you! I think luck was on your side by not picking up your donations. Hopefully, you’ll make some extra money and what doesn’t sell, there’s always donations. I love Instacart when I’m lazy or too busy.
Enjoy your day. It sounds perfect to me.

Saturday flew by and I'm doing a check-in here on this rainy Sunday. Just having a quiet day and maybe a nap.
Hope you have sunshine there in Florida

@Marilynda1225 I am wiped out from the wedding and getting home so late. On the lanai catching up on notifications in the sun before the rain comes. Lazy day for me. Enjoy your day!

No matter how much I have to donate I'm constantly finding more. I swear gremlins have snuck in and put stuff here that I didn't know I had

We are well into Sunday now and once again I am miles behind.
Happy Saturday Marilyn
Sorry your weather is a bit of a roller coaster , sounds just like ours
I would probably see what I could sell before I donated anything
Getting groceries delivered is the way to go

Saturday flew by and we're now into a rainy Sunday with plummeting temperatures. I'm sure we'll have to put the heat on AGAIN overnight
