The buyer for the Dresser/wardrobe arrived late morning to collect. They had driven forty minutes to get to us. When they saw the piece, they were so excited, really excited. Now I don’t get real excitement, I get happy, or pleased, but never squeal at the prospect, but I was happy that they were happy, it’s what makes what we do so rewarding.
Before they arrived Kelli announced “Should someone move the truck to make it easier for them to load the piece into their vehicle?”
I looked at the dogs, they looked at me, “Someone? There is no one else here.
I guessed it would be me, as the dog don’t drive.
I have assumed the title of “someone” when Kelli doesn’t want to do something.
Another lady came to collect a mirror that we had for a while, we offered it at a really low price just to get rid of it, she was excited as well, and thrust the money into my hand even before she saw it.
freshly flush with money Kelli had found a dresser in Zeeland that she wanted, so off we went in the icy rain to collect it.
Kelli knocked on the back door, no answer, I went to the front and rang the door bell, still no answer. I could hear the sound of children so I knew someone was home. Eventually a guy came to the door. From what I could see inside the house there were wall to wall kids, with children’s crap everywhere. The guy told us he had six, he must have been mad, or ran out of condoms.
The dresser was good and solid, so we loaded it into the truck and headed back.
