What a fun day we had sale-ing Friday! We got a late start because the four of us who play Mah Jongg on Thursday nights, plus Doreen, cooked and took lunch to our friend Carole, who just had back surgery. Gerry and I both left bids on things and we both got them! I bought a new Ethan Allen sofa for our church for $220.00(!!!!) and Gerry got a pretty dressing table for her daughter, Taylor. I also bought a beautiful lamp and some other smaller goodies and Gerry and Doreen found some treasures, too.
Today, Saturday, we had a work day at the church and two much younger women and I painted the Narthex. Would you believe that a group of about 8 women picked out the color in just about 2 minutes!! And some people don't believe in miracles! It looks so beautiful and the new sofa and other furniture looks great in it. Now we only have the other 6 rooms to do in that building!
I don't know about the other two, but when we finished painting and got everything cleaned up, I was sore, tired and achy that I could barely walk. I came home and took a hot bath and got into my gown and took a long nap! It's hard for me to believe that I can't do as much as I used to do without paying for it later. Old age ain't for sissies!!
It was a great day, though, and all of us together accomplished a whole lot and had great Christian fellowship while doing it.
