A lovely home. Tons of collectables. Trains, Boats and Planes. Plus John Wayne and “Marilyn” stuff. A bachelor who collected everything from Eastlake, Empire and Duncan Phyfe style furniture. Lots of things to go through.  We should be here all week. Chocker block full.

Today is one of those days that just has to happen. Many loose ends on our desk. File updates, customer contacts, package mailing, tech revisions and photographing.We will have new items to post on Etsy.com  We could use a helper.

Our Yoga curriculum is being updated to instruct classes, one for Seniors 65+ and “Gentle Yoga for All.” This means there will be two classes in the early Fall. We will announce times, location and dates by early September.

Our work with United Methodist Women (UMW) as acting Treasurer requires some accounting work. We will be balancing the books for the second quarter today  This assignment has been very good for personal growth

And our next Estate sale will be in Rockville, MD. We will update this info as we get closer

Finally we have a date for our Country Fair event at ACDS.  Preparations will begin behind the scenes to ready for this Fall, October 17th date  We will be needing rare hard cover “classic” books and if you have or know of anyone who has a flat glass covered display case, approx 36 x 24 inches we would have interest

……..a full day’s work is on the table for us. The very best part is we can work from our home office today  Yea!!
