Rummage Sale.

Our church has an annual rummage sale which benefits the Youth Group. The cool thing is that the kids who work get a share of the overall sales based on how many hours they worked. One not-so -cool thing is that we've spent the last 5 days wading through other people's stuff. A LOT of stuff.

Another other not so cool thing about rummaging through people's stuff is that inevitably, you find stuff you need. Well, "want" might be a better word choice. You want it because you think you need it. We donated a van-load full of stuff we didn't want (or need) any more and brought home significantly less that we did want. (need?!)

Our quirkiest purchase? A plastic Viking helmet. A big thank-you to the family that donated that gem; Hat Day at the boys' schools just got a bit more fun. Proof that you just never know what you might find that you didn't even know that you needed!
