So... last Saturday was the Kyle United Methodist Church garage sale.
Some of the members had a little fun and made a bet.

I picked the most interestingly ugly item in the garage sale (not pictured but it was "stone" urn) and about 11 of us bet on what time it would sell.

The person who guessed closest to the time it'd sell (it sold at 8:02a.. I'd guessed 7:15a) won.

The reward for winning was... the winner got to pick 1 item each from the leftover items at the end of the garage sale to give to each person who was part of the bet. The recipient must then PROMINENTLY display said item in their home for not less than 1 month.

Here's 5 photos of people who didn't win and the things they must now have displayed in their home.
Yes.. that's me with the dragon hand-toy.

Good times.

Jesse The Kid...

Today was the community-wide garage sale in the Plum Creek neighborhood. I wandered a few houses and bought some cookies from the Girl Scouts down the street. Then I ran into some other neighbors... and with them was their son Jesse. He had just sweet-talked some other garage sale house into GIVING him this bangin' blue hat.

If you're in the Kyle area next weekend... come on by on Sunday. We're throwing a party. It's called Front Porch Days and we'll have music (nine bands including The Biscuit Brothers), kids games, a petting zoo, a washer's tourney.... and a lot more.

MULTI-FAMILY • MULTI-GENERATION

The entire congregation of the KUMC has been asked to donate items like ladies, mens and baby clothes, furniture, toys, tools, and other household items in order to replace money raised to build our New Life Center (pictured in background) after our building contractor was paid for services/materials not provided. Although legal action is pending, the congregation is planning on moving forward and finishing this building as well as the landscape and a playground. Money raised from sale of items goes towards our new building fund. Money brought in from a baked goods sale (cookies, cakes, brownies) goes towards playground equipment. The KUMC Youth will also be raising money by having a face-painting booth for the kiddos.

Visit the Kyle United Methodist Church on Saturday February 23, 2008 and help by making a purchase.
May God bless you.
