Very short blog this week.
We toured three different independent living homes with Norm this week here in the Bend area - one was OK, the other two were definitely not what we were looking for.
The entire of the rest of the week was setting up for a garage sale. Norm finally decided that yes, a sale would be a good idea. Here's the thing. We took virtually nothing from inside the house. All the stuff was items packed in boxes that Kris packed up earlier while cleaning out the china cabinets Norm wanted to sell. Some boxes were items that had been stored by Kris's mom back in 2005 - with notes to "Sell on eBay". Some were boxes Kris packed up of items that were just sitting on the shelf in the garage getting dusty. Some is Christmas decor that hasn't been unpacked in the last 6 years or so.
Here are some photos:

It has taken Kris 3 full 8-hour days to price the items in the garage, as virtually every item is a collectible, or antique. She uses Google Lens to identify it, the uses eBay, or other online site to determine pricing.
Tomorrow she will start pricing items in the shop. Sale is next weekend. Wish us luck.





Wow, that sale prep looks daunting to me!!! Good luck. Glad Norm is cooperating!
