Selling Gourd Birdhouses, Selling an RV
Hello everyone out there in blogland. I've had a busy week since getting back from Vancouver. I've been doing laundry, vacuuming and going for workouts at the Reh-fit. I went for my routine ultrasound on my carotid arteries. Since my surgery I have to get regular ultrasound tests to make sure all is well. I have not had any TIAs since the surgery so that is a good sign.
I went to the St. Norbert Saturday market to sell gourds this morning for Students Without Borders and their Afrique 2007 Project. They all get together every Tuesday evening to clean and prepare gourds for the students to make into birdhouses and paint them. I might go to some of those sessions to help. There were some really well done new birdhouses today. One had a really cute gray pussycat on it. Another was painted to resemble a little hobbit house with hollyhocks growing up the walls and round windows. A great bargain for about $20, although some are a bit more, and such a good cause. Those of you who read this blog and live near Winnipeg might want to check it out. The gourds will be sold every Saturday between 9:00 and 3:00 at the St. Norbert market, south of Winnipeg on Pembina Hwy.
I have decided to sell the RV. I went to a dealer here in Winnipeg to ask about getting them to sell it. I can't get out there often enough to warrant spending that much money on the seasonal spot. And it's just too, too sad to be there without him. The dealer I went to said they could tow it to Winnipeg and sell it for me. They will take 10%. I think it's worth it. I know it would be difficult for me to show it to prospective buyers, both emotionally and just getting out there.
While I was in Vancouver I phoned a few places to inquire about seasonal spots there, and the cost would be too much. I had thought I might move it there and use it to stay in whenever I went to visit Margot, but it's not practical.
So, if anyone out there is interested, call me. You can see pictures of it in the archives, August 2005.
I see that Gary hasn't blogged since he was in Europe on June 20, just before his birthday. Hope it was a happy one! NOBODY else has blogged either! Come on people, get blogging. I need some more news.
The weather here has been beautiful since I got back from Vancouver. Those weeds in the flower beds are calling me. I'll have to get to them tomorrow. Tata for now. Peace.
A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. ~James Dent
