23rd February Saturday
I had an email from US Border Protection reminding me that I had ten days left of my current stay. This is the first time I had received this communication and it shows that the country is getting its immigration process working. It has alway been said that America’s illegal alien problem is caused by visitors or visa holders outstaying their time, and not the influx swarming over the boarder, but the Trumpoids can’t seem to grasp this fact.
All morning there have been people collecting items that Kelli has listed for a few dollars here and there. There are still a large collection of things we bought for the wedding that is taking up space in the basement, so liquidating that would be good.
I continued to build a plinth for the island, so this should all be finished.
Our weekend sale is moving a few things. The gateleg table and chairs is due for delivery on our way to Hudsonville. We will visit Farmgirl on our way to remove the sale notices. We will do the same tactic again next week.
Whilst we were in Hudsonville we took the opportunity to check out a newly opened store called Eye Candy for body and home. It was a light and airy place where the owner cared about the layout and the vendors she had selected. It did not have any spare spaces yet, but Kelli made sure she was on the list.
I issued another challenge to Kelli to test her skills of buying items and selling in a kind of pyramid way.
Last night she sold a candleholder for five dollars, so she has to take that stake and turn it into one thousand dollars. This is a project she can do whilst I’m back in the UK without me interfering. I will report her progress as it happens.
