Hello all....had a bit of winter weather last night and this morning. Schools are closed, and wouldn't be surprised if they are tomorrow also. Side roads are ice covered. Supposed to get even worse winter weather Friday. Have to love January in the south, where snow equipment doesn't exist.
Grandkids are loving it though. That icy coating makes for good sledding.
Max: Griffen has shot up past me. He turned 17 last month and he is about 6 inches taller than I am (I am 5 foot 5 inches tall).
Sad part is he is still growing and eating like crazy. Good kid though.Had a few nice sales over at Bonanza. Sold both of my New Orleans paintings there for a nice profit. Sales are slow, but when it's something I don't have to move quickly, I put it there and wait for the right buyer. Usually if something doesn't sell on ebay, I put it over on Bonanza for awhile so it's online and can be found if someone is browsing over there. Then I can relist it anytime I want on ebay, too. Works for me.
Waiting on tax stuff to get here so I can file. Expecting a nice refund this year, which will probably go to new kitchen appliances. Refrigerator and cookstove need replacing.
Miss going to auctions, but they have been few and far between here, or not worth the time to attend. Sometimes I find a sleeper in the local antique or thrift stores, but I don't get out much lately. Hip is giving me a hard time. Had knee surgery last year, and eventually I will need a hip replacement. I'm putting it off as long as possible.
Getting old sucks.
