Craig's List and a new "friend"

I don't know how I didn't know about this site..... Craig's List

When we had a HUGE tree fall this winter (due to ice) our landlord listed the FREE FIRE WOOD- you cut, you haul-- it was gone within 24 hours!! 

Then when we had the soft coal that didn't work in our furnace-- we listed FREE COAL-  you haul-- it too was gone within 24 hours!!

My hubby watches the "farm" section daily-- lots of neat things there-- (including baby goats)....and I thought-- hmmm wonder if I could sell my 4 "NEW" cloth diapers on there?  What could it hurt to list it right?  SO I did and with in 4 hours I had a call from a lady interested!!

So she calls yesterday to come and pick em' up-- (love that too-- no shipping) GUESS WHAT-- she lives on my road-- she lives less than 1/4 mile from me!!  What are the chances?  So she came and got them last evening and of course she was here for about 1 1/2- 2 hours and we laughed and talked-- here they JUST moved in and they have 1 new pigmy goats and some bantom chickens-- we have a LOT in common-  she is the mom of 2 little girls-- and I really do see us  getting together MUCH more often--  WHat are the chances??

I really think it is a "God" thing-- because it was a whim that I even listed it on craig's list and then for HER to call-- what are the chances? 

Just thought I'd share that neat little happening!!

*********

Oh I forgot to mention how embarassed I was last evening-- we walked the perimiter of our property (her request) and she found like 30 WILD raspberry plants FULL of berries-- and she asked "You don't pick these?"  The truth was I had no idea most of them were there-- and a few of them were set back behind some weeds and such...so I said "hmm maybe Jason would weed eat us a path back there"....as she climbs back and picks em'-- I felt so silly-- I guess I'm not the "country-farmer" girl I thought I was!! 

Hmmm what is that I smell?  Oh yeah----  A QUICK breakfast (made yesterday--baking today) before we head off to our PRODUCE AUCTION-- can't wait to share the results with you--

LOL That is too funny about the wild raspberries... but sometimes they do look like weeds! What a blessing to have a friendly neighbor that you actually like!!! God is so good to us. :-)

Produce Auction? Huh? More details please!!! I am quite intrigued...
