Yard Sale






Our year is coming to an end, and now we have to get rid of all the stuff we have obtained throughout the year. We decided to hold a "garage sale" (we would call it a yard sale, but that is not the normal phrase here) and we did about $350 worth of business. It is rather heartbreaking to see books that we bought for $30 (or about US$24) sit on the $5 shelf and still not sell, but we did get rid of quite a bit.

Alexander found it hard to see some of his toys get sold off, but we comforted him by saying that we were just making room for new stuff. We also warned him not to let the "Mickey's" near the sales tables, so he had something to concentrate on. It also helped that his favorite nanny Karin came back to stay with us for the final ten days.
