Taking Care Of Business

Tweet

Yesterday I left the house a 9 AM and headed to Niagara On The Lake. Once again the store in NOTL was out of my signs (my art) so they were happy to see me and I will be happy when they send me a check. I'm sending out bills today. From there I went to the Chocolate Factory in a neighboring town that sells my smaller pieces. I am not happy with that store because the boss doesn't understand the concept of Consignment. She thinks she can sell my art and then use the money instead of paying me. I'm supposed to wait until she gets more...? Consignment means she gets half and I get half. I will send her a bill today and when its paid I will remove the few pieces still left in her store. Her loss not mine. My next stop was at the Welland Canal Museum. I had to take a detour to get there (construction) and then had to wait as a ship went through the lift bridge. It is a government run business so there is no trouble getting paid, they send me checks and I don't have to send them a bill...win win. I stop by just to be sure they have enough stock and I keep track of the stock. When I left, the same ship had gone through the lock at the museum and was going through the next lift bridge. I wasn't using that bridge so I got ahead of the ship, pulled over and took some photos. Two of them are posted above. Did you notice the lift bridge in the photo. It was on its way down. The ship had passed. My last stop was one of the winery's that sells my work. They sell a lot of my slate and always pay on time. So life is good. I enjoyed my day driving around the area and taking the time to use my camera. Now its time to paint. I hope your day was as interesting as mine...I do this once a month.
