Another early morning.......another day of early "STUFF" shoppers!!! I stayed with the STUFF sale all morning and into the early afternoon. Many more furniture pieces were sold, loaded, and transported away from TheHowserHouse(stick/brick) during the day.......and I was not upset to see them disappear down the street.....AT ALL!!! We diminished the STUFF from our garage in a HUGE way..........difficult to believe, but sooooo much is now in the hands, the homes, and the sheds of many others.....GREAT!!!
We closed down the sale about 2pm......pulled what was left into the garage.....and decided we would sort and dispose of the remains in the next couple of days. We made quite a few $$$....much more than any other garage sale we have had here in F'town......and that is exciting. Get rid of the STUFF and pocket some cash.
This evening.......we and Andrew and Laura Gipson went to Farmington and had dinner at the local Pasta House there. We visited and discussed sooooo many topics that the meal was certainly secondary to our time together. These times seem few and far between.....and that is not so good. We need to change that........as soon as we can get our schedules coordinated.......is that possible?????? I doubt it!!! But....perhaps we can work on it a bit more......
This morning at the STUFF sale another former student stopped by.......Derek Smith who now resides in St Louis, working at Washington University. SOOOOO good to see him again.......even tho he was not a band student, he took one of my non-performing music classes, as well as going to Europe with me a few years ago. Amazing how many of my students are now such wonderful friends.........but, even as students they were friends. And that is what made my 30 years of teaching sooooo much fun and sooooo rewarding! How can it be anything other than........
LIFE IS GREAT.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
