The assignment late this afternoon was in the garage preparing for next week's garage sale. We pulled the three (yes, count them, three) televisions from the garage. Plugged in and attached cable to the first two to check and they work just fine. We put the smallest one (19-inch) in the dining area; the other will go into storage downstairs as a back up when one goes out on us thereby skipping repair costs later. The third (and we think the newest) is missing the cord to plug it in so it'll be stored for awhile until we find the box with the cord in it or we can replace it. Our two old small tvs with built in vcrs went out to the garage to be sold for very modest amounts as the vcrs went out on both of them although the tvs both work just fine. It's an embarrassing wealth of televisions as Little Sister didn't get rid of perfectly good televisions when she upgraded and our Magnavox downstairs still works just fine even after 25 years. It's only the little combination sets we used upstairs that have had a problem with failure of the built in vcrs.
Then we pulled four boxes of books... mostly cookbooks, some poetry, other misc... to go through. There's a really good big dictionary. Little Sister collected cookbooks on purpose unlike some of the other multitudinous stuff she'd accumulated just because she wouldn't get rid of anything. We'll probably keep less than a quarter of these but need to decide which ones.
Tried to get Toni over from next door to check through the four dozen pairs of shoes as we've discovered she may wear the right size (8.5-9 narrow) but that'll have to wait for another day..
After supper I actually was finally embroidering on the banner again. Will it be done in time for Cattle Raids? That would be a lovely surprise if it was!
