Yard sales and Sizzler

I was finally able to update Mozilla Firefox on our desktop computer, which is good as Microsoft Internet Explorer couldn't even open the editing page on Blogger without developing some error. I wasn't looking forward to the prospect of having to write this post on my iPod Touch.

...

Yesterday, Mom held another fund-raising yard sale for her friend. Between items collected to sell and baked goods, coffee, and lemonade prepared by my sister and cousin, they were able to raise around $1,500.00. That was certainly an answer to prayer.

I also went to lunch with my friend Aaron yesterday. We hadn't gotten together in quite a while. It was good and edifying for both of us, and we have plans to get together again in a couple of weeks. I need these sort of get-togethers as it's too easy for me to withdraw from others, and these opportunities don't come by very often.

When he left me off, I had to help scramble to clear everything up from the sale, as it had begun to rain. We had so much stuff left, we loaded two trucks, an SUV, and our van to haul everything away. It was a long, tiring day for everyone, but it was also very fruitful, and a day where The Lord met a big need.

...

I don't have much for today. Check back on late Thursday night/very early Friday morning, when I regale you with my impending adventure to see the tax lady this Thursday morning. I'm hoping I'll get something back this year, as 2014 was the first year since 2005(!) that I worked full-time. See you then.
