Finishing up a little work… let’s just say, I’m still not sure who was more scared of who!!! 🫣😂🫣😂

09/03/2026

Tonight, while I was unwinding, I read an article about Dolly and the service with her family and how it was privately held. I’m so glad that one aspect of who she was, she got to decide to keep private.

It took me to a memory that I guess I had put out of my mind.

When my daddy entered the last few weeks on this earth, he had really lost his ability to speak, which was hard. I sure did love to hear him (if you knew him, you know why).

When I would arrive, he would have notes he had made to ask my thoughts on, or I guess things that he needed me to do. One day, when I was sitting with him, he got his little notebook out, and it said:

“Open casket?”

At that moment, I didn’t see my daddy sick. I didn’t see him as frail. I saw him as the big, strong man that he had always been, with his strong hands that built those cars, drove those tractor-trailers, and gave me and my children hugs when we needed comfort.

I told him that although he was still as handsome as ever, I thought it best to let us say goodbye in private. We laid my daddy to rest in a UT shirt, a comfortable sweater and what  we liked to call his “dancing shoes.”

I don’t know why I thought about this tonight, but I guess it’s because I read that people couldn’t believe Dolly just wanted to be laid to rest in privacy with her family💗🦋

FRIENDLY PARKING PSA 😂

Please do NOT park in anyone’s yard like this… even if you “know them.” 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

And especially don’t park in the yard of some random house in the neighborhood that isn’t even part of the estate sale!

Y’all… you get us in trouble with the neighbors! 😂

We love a good turnout. We love seeing y’all. We do not want to leave the neighborhood with half the lawns looking like we hosted the county fair. 😂

Please park respectfully, don’t block driveways or mailboxes, and KEEP IT OUT OF THE GRASS.

Thank you for coming, shopping, and helping us be good guests in someone else’s neighborhood. 🩷

Today, we open the doors at 21720 Plantation Road.

Of course, our job is to sell the contents of a home—but I believe there is a right way to do that. Every estate we enter belonged to real people, with a lifetime of memories, interests, adventures and things they loved.

This particular collection tells quite a story.

You’ll see the Cheers family’s love of travel, fly fishing, the great outdoors and Mountain Sports woven throughout this home. These aren’t simply “things for sale.” They represent places traveled, hobbies enjoyed, years spent outdoors and a life well lived.

As you visit us this weekend, I ask for a few simple things: please be safe while on the property, be respectful of the home and surrounding neighborhood, and most importantly, help us honor the family by appreciating this collection and the stories behind it.

We are grateful to the family for trusting Estate Sales by Kara with something so personal, and we’re honored to share it with you.
