Rain, rain and more rain with more of the same on the way. It's pouring down right now but actually, we really needed to be wet down and I'm sure the firefighters working the forest fires on the east side of the Cascades are grateful. Yesterday, we started off our day cleaning up and washing windows, then went over to Les and Gloria's house to borrow their folding tables and a portable clothes rack (more about that later) for our fast approaching garage sale. While Phil and Les were loading them in the back of our truck about 3:30 PM Phil received a call from Randy. Poor guy has been living with a kidney stone for two weeks or longer trying to wait for treatment (beyond pain pills and lots of fluids) scheduled for September 12th but decided yesterday that he'd better go to the hospital. Phil dropped off the tables then left to pick up Randy and take him to the ER at St. Peter's Hospital in Olympia. After tests and some intermediate treatment, they sent him home at 11 PM. Phil will take him to a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and then back to the hospital for the scheduled removal of the kidney stone on Friday ... never a dull moment around here! Elaborating on the comment above about the tables, my wise friend, Gloria (the undisputed Queen of Garage Sales - both going and giving) suggested that we use the downstairs portion of our (nearly empty) house instead of tents in the driveway for display tables. At first, I didn't see the logic but within minutes, she had convinced me that it was not only logical but would make my preparation work so much easier. Much less time spent in the hot~cold~damp~whatever, garage on the cement floors and a much shorter distance to carry down all the items left upstairs that will be for sale. EXCELLENT IDEA Gloria! So, let it rain because our final, humongous sale will go on as scheduled ... rain or shine!
