The King family does not like to talk about debt. Nor do we like to be in debt. Other than those pesky house payments, we've been able to avoid both the talk and the action. Oh, there was that one time we bought a brand new vehicle. But other than that... We didn't plan for there to be so many expenses surrounding Victor's adoption. Prior to his case, we had avoided situations with such high expenses. It makes no sense that Victor's bills were as high as a healthy white newborn when he was neither. But regardless, he needed a home and God said ours was the one. So, even though we don't like to think about it or talk about it, we're steadily moving on.
Last November we had an online auction the weekend after Thanksgiving. It went amazingly well and afterward people kept asking for another one. Some were folks who said they wanted the excuse to clean out basements and attics to donate items to the auction. Others were ready to Christmas shop for a cause again. So, we've listened. We have already started to collect a number of items but my bedroom isn't full of goods yet so we'd love more.
Friends, relatives, blog acquaintances, we'd love your new or gently used items. Homemade goods, gift cards, those gifts you've never used? Toys you wanted to sell or get rid of but never found the time to do so? We'd love to have them to put on our auction.
Auction will be up and running the weekend after Thanksgiving so skip the crowds and check out our listings first. Or come home from shopping, prop your feet up, get on your computer and shop for a cause.
Thank you.
