19th November 2017
Time is desperately running out on this trip, and the number of people I have wanted to meet up with have been few. So today we met up with Steve and Cathy again for brunch in Grand Rapids. I enjoy their company, they have lived an interesting life, and the chance to listen to their stories enriches my own.
Afterwards we stopped off at both Goodwill stores in Holland to hunt for more things. I have spent so much time in these establishments they should give me a loyalty card, or an old person’s discount.
We looked in the window of the lakeshore store to see if any of our furniture had been sold on Saturday, because again, there was a interested person with “100%” chance of buying it. However it was still there, and most of the other stuff hadn’t sold either.
There is often a difference of customer numbers between Hudsonville and Lakeshore, with small items moving faster in Hudsonville. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern in either of the places, it is feast or famine, not good for forward planning.
There was a healthy collection of things ready to go tomorrow including the small drawer unit made from old cheese boxes. Doing a bit of research we discovered they were from around the 1900’s and quite collectible, so we have high hopes for this.
Another Lifetime to go
