I've been busy the last few days, but still here and trying to catch up on notifications!! I did a flea market run on Friday. It was a rain day, but we had a very light rain instead of heavy rain like earlier in the week. I managed to talk my hubby into driving and checking on another antique store or two. He is at a standstill on his project until another part comes in. I stocked some new things and restocked some other things. I was glad today that I took the time to pop in. We have a busy day Saturday and good sales. Today, I didn't have much to clean up either, which was nice! My hubby bought another case of cleaning towels for getting grease off your hands and/or tools. He had been buying them at the auction, but they bought a couple of pallets of "out of date" towels that are still moist and good. These were all marked $1.00/canister. That beats $5 or $6 for a canister any day. He has two cases now and stocked up for awhile. Antique store we were looking for has apparently closed because we didn't find one in that area at all. Hubby did stop at the pawn shop in town which also has antiques. They had some old stuff in there and it was fun to stop and talk to the owner. My hubby of course, also had to look at the guns. Our plans for Saturday got canceled. We were going to a Memorial service for one of my first cousins that passed away in December of last year. It was canceled as the venue, a park, was closed due to flooding from the heavy rains last week. Today I worked at the flea market. It was a slow day, but sales were very high yesterday, so that makes up for a slow day. Monday I head back to Louisiana for my shift at the boutique. I have yet to load my inventory into our program. I will wing that tomorrow during my shift or stay late because I doubt it gets done tomorrow before I leave. That's what I've been up to the last few days! What have YOU been doing?

You had a busy few days, but a busy few days makes up for a not so busy few days any day right? nothing new on my end other than the same ole thing working on the cabin, which is a GOOD thing cause each day gets us closer & closer to getting it done to get moved back in.

@2ndchances24 I am retired and have been since 2017. I am just as busy as I was working. I told everyone that said I would be bored they were crazy and I've kept that part up. Never bored and not enough time to do all I want to do!!

@kareng Yeah but just think 1 day you'll be retired & then have more time on your hands than you want.

I'm still working on new space/store. More phone calls tomorrow, but the one I visited last week still sounds good.

Those wet towels are very convenient also to keep in your car if you need to clean your hand and there is not a place where to wash the hands. I am glad that at the flea market the sales were very high yesterday. You had a busy weekend.

@kareng I can imagine moving would be quite a big task. Do you have big things or mostly smaller items?

I enjoy the flea market very much. It's a wide variety of items that can be sold--actually just about anything! You should if it is interesting to you. I love sending stuff to the flea market vs. throwing it in the trash. I'm helping someone save money and making a little along the way.

I'm still trying to catch up. Too much going on here! I don't check in here until night time and rarely in the mornings anymore because I have things that I have to get done or places I have to go.

You remind me of Eva and Andria with how much work you get accomplished in a day. Today was Victoria Day holiday here, I did very very little. Cooking lunch and supper and doing a load of laundry was the extent to my work today.

It rained all day yesterday and I received a new box I bought for the turtle, but the size of the box was not suitable. Today, I sent a return package by express delivery. It was a sunny day today, and I used a washing machine to wash some clothes before drying them on the balcony.

I'm sorry the box you ordered for your turtle was not a good size. Hopefully, you can find one soon.

I like look inside antique shops but I do get easily freaked out with old sculptures and dolls. They just seem too creepy for me. Almost like it's staring at me or something.
