HAVEN'T BEEN FEELING SO HOT

 This horrible cough has just about done me in.  I am getting so tired of ME.

At least I do feel a tiny bit better today.  Thankful for that.

Our Son Steve brought over some tables for our sale next Saturday.  We are really getting ready.   Next is doing the advertising so we get tons of shoppers and lots of money in our pockets.



We decided to let Mark, Kellie and Maddie stay at Steve's home.  It will be less complicated and more comfortable for them.  Thankfully we will still get time together to catch up on the almost 2 years since we saw the 3 of them.  Too, Too long in between. 


I saw this sign on FaceBook the other day and thought it was kind of a cute invitation to the Garage Sale.  Maybe we will do something like that...who knows.


I thought I would share with you one of the things we may be selling at the sale.

Its so cute.  Have you ever heard of a Goo Goo Baby hand puppet?





This is from the 60's.  Doesn't the baby have a sweet face.

I can't decide if this will be on eBay or for the sale.  I think I can probably get more for it on line.

We certainly have some eclectic shopping choices.

Well I think I have spent my energy for now and will finish my cup of tea.

Wishing all of you a wonderful Sunday.

Always be Grateful

Always be Kind

That baby looks like money to me. Try selling it up for bidding on eBay. Has your cough been diagnosed by anyone? I am so sorry.

I'm sorry about that cough. It certainly is tiring.
Looks like you are right on track for the sale! I think the baby puppet needs to go on Ebay!

First, I can't believe you have a cough again. You seemed to have just gotten well.
I have never seen a goo goo baby - but I bet you would get more money on Ebay.
Good luck!

Bless your heart...glad you are feeling a bit better today, but praying you can rid this cough before the sale. I think this baby just might need to be put on Ebay.. I'm not sure I have heard of this one which means it should be a collectors item. I can feel your excitement in getting to see family and I am thrilled for you all. I have seen several garage sale signs around here this weekend, but it is way too hot and humid to even consider going to one. Wishing you all the very best on the upcoming sale. Prayers for that cough.

Oh rats on that persistent cough!
I've never heard of the Goo Goo baby, but he's adorable. I was thinking of making you an offer for my new gr-grand, but P's not 1 y/o yet and I see the box says 4+. Yep, I think eBay's the way to go for a larger, more affluent audience. Fingers crossed and prayers lifted for your family sale!

I'm so sorry you are still dealing with that persistent cough. I do hope you will feel better before next weekend so you can "enjoy" the sale. And I agree with everyone else about the Goo Goo Baby puppet...put it on eBay. I think it may be a collector's item. It looks to be in mint condition too! Wow! Please get plenty of rest this week when you can. Praying for you.

I never heard of a Goo Goo Baby but looked it up - I’d sell it on eBay. Friday and Saturday’s are garage sales days up here with Fridays the best day. Garage sales are a lot of hard work so it’s good you have help!
Sorry about the cough - you really need to get that checked out.
Hot one today. 104*. I sure hope you have cooler temperatures for next week!
Take care.

I hope every day you feel a bit better! Hope the sale is a huge success!

I had horrific cough from COVID right at the start of the pandemic, after a long haul flight from Dubai to Seattle. This was pre-vaccine, so I had rely on supplements. I took echinacea, elderberry extract, raw chopped garlic, vitamin C 1000mg twice/day, lysine, zinc, magnesium, vitamin D, plus juiced a combo of apple, orange, carrot daily. I was well in two weeks and didn't end up in the ER. Zinc especially is the silver bullet to respiratory infections.

I've got 2 weeks to go before my yard sale here. Hoping I get rid of a lot of stuff. Mostly I have junk...lol
I've never heard of that doll. I'm betting it would bring more money online than in a garage sale.

chronic illness of any type is a royal pain! I get the cough thing. coughing irritates tummy, chest and mouth and throat. I would see what the go price is for that baby and put a high price on it and it would be gone, the bidding might take a while. hard to decide which is best.. I have not heard of this puppet.

eBay has 5 right now and the most is 34.99.

Sparky said...

Try selling on-line with the doll would be my bet too. You'll reach a bigger audience and maybe a collector will want it.
Hope you're feeling better today! Those persistent coughs can be so tiring.
The yard sale sign is adorable. Definitely catches a passersby attention.
Blessings. ✨

Hope you feel better soon. I'm struggling with a lung infection. Enjoy your time with Mark, Kellie and Maddie. I have never heard of that doll/puppet. Take care.

Wanda said...

Oh Sue, so sorry to hear this cough is hanging on. How great to have your kids helping with the Yard Sale...I'm praying it will be a super good sale and by Saturday your cough will be gone. Love and Hugs

There’s nothing worse than a nagging cough, Sue, and hope you are feeling better by the time of the garage sale. The goo goo doll just looked creepy to me, but sure it will appeal to others and online would be a good choice.
