Well, at least Mom made a profit this time....LOLOL She made a grand total of....(drum roll please....) of $19.75 after paying for her add in the paper. I think my son is going to go load it up and take it to Goodwill for her.

Wow - what is she going to do with her new found wealth?!

Even though she didn't make a lot of money, at least stuff like this keeps her active.

Is she happy with her fortune? At least she cleaned out some stuff. I always donate my stuff, usually to one of two womens' shelters. Trouble is, I have to bring it to them and it was just too much stuff preparing for this move.

This time, I just bagged up tons of pretty good stuff and put it in the basement.
My super has to go through the stuff, so I figured he would find some use for it, sell it, or give it away. I never asked him because I thought he might be embarrassed.

I still had some stuff left to get rid of when I packed and I'm having the Salvation Army come on Wednesday. Whatever they don't want, I'll drag down to the basement. We don't have "stoop sales" in my neighborhood. If we did, I would have given it all away by the end.

Mother called this afternoon and said she was even richer...LOL. These people that were there yesterday and bought some of her clothes came back today and asked if she had anything left and if they could go through it again. She made another $8.00.

Ricky and I will be going in to her house tomorrow to load it all up. Some of it she wants to go to the Salvation Army and some of it to Goodwill.

I use to suggest to Mom where she could donate, but she has a mind of her own so I just try to be a good daughter and do what I'm told...LOL

Awww, Janet you are a good daughter!!! At least she took the initiative to do this. So many her age just give up.

Not my Mother...lol. She's a stubborn one for sure and I know she's where I got it from.

I just love your stories about your Mom, Janet. She is so feisty and does things her own way!
