I know I normally update on the weekend, but having not provided updates for the last couple of weeks I decided to check in – just to keep people on their toes.
I shouldn’t say it’s been a really busy time around the Milner household but a couple of things did happen. My sister and nephew came down for the weekend a couple of weeks ago. Unlike the old days where we had to have wall-to-wall activities, it was more of a lazy weekend but still great to have the family all together.
This past weekend was the Thamesford Town-Wide Yard Sale. We didn’t have the chance to check out the other yard sales in town because we were too busy having our own. When Cathy and Jack were down the week prior they had brought about 2/3 of Jack’s stuffy collection and I had rounded up a few things I no longer needed. At first, we weren’t sure how much we would end up selling but as the morning progressed more and more people came by. A lot were saying they weren’t allowed to buy their grandkids any more stuffies but others bought several. A fair amount of my stuff went as well. In total, we made over $100 – so not a bad total, especially when we were selling DVDs/Games $2 or three for $5 and stuffies for 50 cents or three for $1.
Since I know she reads this, I want to thank my boss, Jane, and her husband, Bruce, for stopping by. It was great to see her in a real life, real time, and non-working environment.
I am winding down watching How I Met Your Mother for about the fourth or fifth time. I am thinking Friends is back on next.
After what seems like a lull in just my own efforts of getting things done, I think I need to get refocused and work towards getting some of that To Do list of mine whittled down. I haven’t really posted too much (an article about Hailie Deegan on Track Talk, notwithstanding) on the website so I’d like to get back to working on keeping that updated. There are a few other projects I need to get to work on as well.
Wish me luck!
