I've been fine, still scrounging around for goodies and finding---not much.
My volunteer job 2 days a week is great, the other 5 days are not much to brag about.
I miss the business so much and still stop at every shop, thrift, flea, whatever. Never seem to find anything to get excited about. Maybe in the spring. It has been a long, awful winter in these parts(as Vinca will attest). Heating and electric bill through the roof. Must wait for my great kids to shovel me out. My bad back keeps me from that job. Another storm coming tonight.

Thinking about selling the house but cannot seem to justify the cost of an apartment as opposed to the living costs now. The outside of my house took a beating this winter, need to paint again. Doubt if it will happen unless I win the lottery. I think I have to buy a ticket for that.

Took a beating with the things I gave to the eBay agent.
His pictures were great, as well as the descriptions.---not many bids. So much for that idea.
I've been in contact with several consignment shops too. They are chock-a-block full of stock right now.

This stuff we accumulated through the years seems to be hard to sell. Anyone else have this problem?

I hope things are going well for you.

Tomorrow----Happy first day of spring to all, as we in NE shovel out from another 12 inches of white stuff. I'm done with that!!!!!
