This Saturday only rain or shine Helga is hosting a Yard sale. Come down to Wren Street in Mission (just off Lougheed). Buying and eating goodies never felt so good--all proceeds to benefits SAINTS. I will be there and I might even bring a certain long and low someone and/or a bouncy screechy someone (can you guess who?).
If Helga can raise over $1,000 for SAINTS I will treat her and Carol to a lunch or dinner of their choice. So come help them get a free meal on ME! If she makes $2,000 I will throw in dessert too. And my mom loves dessert.
Helga has assured me that there will be a total smorgasbord of stuff, with something for every taste. I begged her for some specifics and here is what she gave me :) (some great stuff) so come early with some room in your trunk
