Thanks all.

I'm doing a sort of slow motion garage sale as I move things on eBay. Sitting in the yard in the heat is not an easy job, even if you have shade. It is fun to see the neighbors if they stop by, that's one good thing about them.

Five parcels were handed over to the mail carrier this afternoon, and it averaged about $10 per item on eBay, so it is a slow moving garage sale, but I've made that little sitting in the yard all day sometimes.

I moved a small table out of the kitchen after relocating the microwave to the wire shelves that I put in there last week. It looks good there and with the table gone you can see some of the wall around the room. I also took down some ceramic fish shapes that added to the very busy look of the kitchen. Not sure if I'll find another place for them, or sell them. They're attractive.

One of my jars of peaches from last night didn't seal. I'll just have to eat them this week. I have a lot more peaches to do, but I've sorted out the pots so I can do more, though I think I need to run to the store for more pint jars. I may put some of them in jelly jars for single servings.

My boss's first grandchild was born yesterday. I put one of the photos he sent with him holding the baby (I used first name only - far be it from me to start splashing info about a newborn in such a public way!) on the library facebook page. Lots of "likes" of a photo where you see a man falling instantly in love with the tiny person in his arms. :) I've been smiling about that all day!
