Day by Day

Yesterday was an interesting day.  Both Merril and I knew what we had to do and did it.
It was Market day.  We set up three tables at our church and put stuff that has been donated on it.  Nothing over $2 and all monies go to the Pantry to help get food stuffs and sell at a really cheap rate.
People love to bring stuff that is good, and that fits on a table.  Mostly it is stuff gleaned from downsizing and we are doing everyone a favour.  For example, there was a bicycle helmet for sale for $2.  Someone I know says they used to sell those helmets made of carbon fibre for about $170.  It went for $2.  Not everything is so expensive, but everything is a bargain.
So Merril and I did what we had to do.  We made twice what we aim for each time.  Yet it is about more than that.  We have a great chance to talk to those that come along.  People have incredibly interesting stories.  A lady who was blown away by what she got at our market used to work in biology and is now a writer.  She was virtually in tears when she picked up an old working typewriter for a bargain.  She also bought some non-fiction books and a vase.  It is a good feeling seeing others getting something special at a price they can afford.
Someone donated toy people and cars.  I brought them home to sort (all scientific research of source – ops, maybe my nose just grew).  Anyway the toys will be there when we do it again.
Merril is giving the communion talk at church on Sunday, so she went off for a bit and did some preparation.  She continued that at home later that day.
While she did that, I was getting our library together.  We were thinking of doing the cards ourselves but saw online we could get what we wanted for not a lot.  We decided to do that and save ourselves hours of work.
Then we saw the Lions had won.  Ended a good day well really.
