21st January 2019
Today is Martin Luther King day, and like most minor national holiday the Americans would rather earn a dollar than have time with their families. We are no exception, with the truck full with the hutch and freshly painted shelf drying in the back we headed off the Hudsonville. The panic, as usual was due to a dresser selling, so we were off to rearrange the booth yet again.
On the way, a text arrived on Kelli’s phone informing us that another dresser had sold. This was great news! it was one of our favourites, it had been there over a month, and we were worried that we would have to either lower the price (again) or paint it another colour.
Amongst the smaller items to sell over the weekend was the section of a picket fence with a small wreath attached. This was a knock-together item of things we had in the garage that Kelli thought might look good. Well yet again I was aghast that someone else thought it was cool enough to buy it.
We even had lunch at the Winery to celebrate.
On a rare occasion we didn’t stop at Goodwill, I was eager to start stripping the top of a low dresser. Now that we didn’t have any backlog I wanted to get ahead, again.
Kelli decided to open a bottle of wine that had been left on the sideboard since Christmas.
I wasn’t sure if it was another celebration, or it was taking up valuable storage space, anyhow it went down a Little too quick for my liking.
Another Lifetime to go
