Annual Fall Yard Sale, Sat, November 7th, 2009

Another successful yardsale. It was wonderful to have
our own place to hold the sale this year - we even had
Chanse and Gonzalo waving in the cars!

A great big Thank You! to Karen for organizing this
event.

It was incredible just how many people showed up to
get set-up at 5:00 am and came throughout the
entire day to help!
