Hi Cindy

> Thank you to you, Dave and Amanda for organizing the garage sale 
> yesterday.   It was a huge success from our point of view with many  
> many people stopping buy.  We recovered a few hundred dollars (from  
> our original investments of thousands ha ha) and knew that our  
> possessions were being passed on to people who could make some use 
> of  them, rather than ending up in landfill!   Additionally, we got 
> to  meet several of our new neighbours, as well as visit and chat 
> with  neighbours we already knew and many of the buyers.   For 
> instance, I  recognized the accent of one lady as Polish, and she 
> and Alec had a  good chat in Polish.   Another family was speaking 
> Korean and we were  able to chat with them about Alecs 6 week sojurn 
> in South Korea in the  1980s.  So, really it was a fun social 
> experience for us too!

> you Cindy:    you even dropped around to make sure everything was OK!

> I hope Amanda’s elbow is on the mend and she is getting back on track.
