Hi Potties! A note before heading for bed.
Katie - Have you gotten any rain yet? We just had several days in a row then a cold front came thru & now it's sunny & a good bit cooler. Lows in the 50's the next few nights.
Sounds like you stay pretty active - dog owners seem to be active by default 🙂Max - What kind of dog does your GD have? Our Thumper had issues with car sickness when she was young but we were lucky & she outgrew it. Became a great traveler once she was grown. I still miss her. Keep a picture here beside the PC & 1 beside the bed.
Denver to Savannah is quite a trek. I don't envy her all those hours on the road. I once did Albuquerque to Atlanta & thought the trip would never end.
My mom tried tracing our family for years but a courthouse fire had destroyed information on the primary line she was following & stymied her efforts. She'd have been thrilled with all the avenues available now. I haven't followed up with the research since there's no-one left but 2 cousins that I don't know locations on to pass it to.
We had winter neighbors when I was in my teens but think they sold the house when I was off to college. I don't remember anyone being in the house after that. It's a pretty common thing in FL, or was when I still lived down there.Gordon - I can make it to the car & back (maybe 50' each way) but run short of breath at the end of the trip - a one-way trip if I'm carrying groceries or a box of "stuff" for the booth. About the only time I can make a 20 minute stint is when I make a grocery run to Walmart. I think the stop & start nature of the trip makes it possible. The other option is when I blow debris off both decks - takes about 20+ minutes but is done slowly, which seems to be what works for me.
I spent some time at the U-Haul storage the 1st of the week. I brought home 2 more of the Eberhardt cat etches but haven't hung them yet. I also got an assortment of "stuff" that I'll send to GW for the most part. Got a couple of things I'll make available to Selena for the family & if she's not interested, the left-overs may go to the booth. I was pleasantly surprised to find a piece of Roseville that I know she'll want & a small cruet, possibly Fenton, that I believe belonged to my grandmother. I found more Belleek in a good sized box that means I'll need a larger curio than I planned on to give it a home. I'm hoping at least 1 of the girls will be interested in "adopting" it. There hasn't been much of a market in the booth for the little I've had to sell.
Sales at the booth this month are still slow - I get email notices of sales & sometimes go a couple of days with nothing finding a new home. I hope sales will pick up now that it's cooler weather & back to school expenses are pretty much a done deal.
Zac & his family have been in FL since this past weekend so I haven't gotten any reports on Dennis' recovery. Hopefully they've had a relaxing time of it.
The land sharks are fed so I'll crank up the dishwasher & head for bed & book. I hope to bestir myself tomorrow & make a grocery run to Walmart & drop some bills at the PO to make my creditors happy.
Has anyone heard from Shelly? I don't know what part of PA she lives in, but sounds like the whole state is getting a lot of rain. Hope all is well with her.
Everybody take care & enjoy the change in weather. Later.
Susan
