Yesterday was a busy third day of our living estate sale as we prepare to leave our home and get back on the road. Today we will have a final half price sale or general give-away so that we will not have to store the items. It has gone very well really, and most items of furniture got bids, and the winning bidders were all called yesterday afternoon. Many quickly showed up and took their treasures home. So we are rapidly cleaning out.
Last night we took our kids and two sets of good friends out to eat at Johnny's, which is a Fifty's style steak house. They gave us the end of a semi-private room, and the conversation and wine flowed. We occasionally got tidbits about the Nebraska - USC game, and by halftime we were not faring too well. We were so tired that by the time we got home ,we did not turn on the game but went straight to bed. What a delight to be able to share an evening with kids (who are friends) and friends.
If there is a lesson here to be learned, it would be that things are unimportant, but friendships and family are so important. It is best to nurture the important things. Today is here, and I must get to work, so these ruminations are short.
