Streyle/Swanson Rummage and Bake Sale

Thought you all might like to see a picture of our crazy first day.  Our Adoption Rummage and Bake Sale started at 7:30 this morning...complete with rain!  There was a steady stream of die hard 'rummagers' (I just made up that word) for whom we are VERY thankful.  (As my sister said, 'you grow some hardy folks in SD'.  Indeed we do!) 

Our day made for exceptionally chatty dinner conversation as the girls talked about who they saw, what sold, and the encouragement received from complete strangers.  One of the girls said, "It will be so fun to tell our siblings about all the people who donated items and purchased items to help bring them home".   Oh..the joy we feel for children we've never met but truly love.

Today, one young couple, whom we never met, gave $4 beyond what they purchased commenting "This is for the adoption.  We had to be sure we came to this rummage sale."  That $4 dollars made a very BIG impact.

As you can see in the picture...these crazy days of a rummage sale are so much more fun because we are partnering with the Streyle family.Our rummage/bake  sale will run Wed, Thur and Friday of this week.
