TRYING TO BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE IS EXHAUSTING. I AM BEGINNING TO SEE THAT I HAVE HUGE LIMITATIONS TO MY PERSONNA. I HAVE LOOKED INTO RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE BEGINNING TO FALL AWAY. DISAPPOINTMENT IS BEGGING ME TO EXTINGUISH SOME CURRENT VALUED FRIENDSHIPS. IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO KEEP THE PEOPLE, IT'S JUST THAT I AM TOO TIRED TO BE SOMETHING THAT I AM NOT. I AM NOT A PHONY, I AM NOT A BAD PERDON, I HAVE NO ILL INTENTIONS TOWARD ANYONE. IT KEEPS ME GROUNDED.
WISHING DOESN'T MAKE IT SO. I LOOK AROUND AND I SEE LESSONS LEARNED BY MISTAKES MADE. MY FRIENDS ARE GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, THEIR LIVES LEAD THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE CREATED REALITIES OF THEIR OWN MAKINGS. IF I THINK ABOUT IT MY OWN BEST LESSONS HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE'S DESTINY. I GUESS YOU CALL IT REACTIONARY RATHER THEN PROACTIVE. IT IS FUNNY THOUGH, I AM LIVING THE LIFE I WAS SUPPOSED TO LIVE, I JUST LIVED THROUGH MY MARRIAGE, MY CHILDREN, MY HOME. NOW I HAVE A LIFE OF MY OWN.
I THINK WE ARE HERE TO GIVE THE WORLD WHAT IS MISSING...YOUR SKILLS, YOUR LOVE, YOUR DREAMS. WHEN YOU GO INTO THE FUTURE OF OUR WORLD, THINGS NEED TO BE SIMPLER AND MORE REDUCED. WE NEED TO RECYCLE, REUSE AND REGROW.
DURING THE WANING DAYS OF SUMMER, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO ENTERTAIN OUTDOORS. THE BEST TIME OF YEAR, NOT TO HOT OR COLD, WE WERE TREATED TO A BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF FOODS AND THE DISPLAY OF GORGEOUS FALL COLOR. IT WAS A MAGICAL EVENING. WE ATE POT LUCK...COMFORT FOODS, MEAT LOAF, MAC & CHEESE, THAT SORT OF THING...COURSE AFTER COURSE. INCREDIBLE, CANDLES, RENTED FURNITURE FOR OUTSIDE. WHAT WE CAN DO, WE WOMEN.
THE LAST ONE OF THE YEAR...GETTING READY, THERE IS GREAT STUFF IN THE BARN, I'M GETTING EXCITED...MANY MORE ITEMS, SOME LOVELY BLANKETS, I HAVE A COOL STOVE, SOME INTERESTING DOO DADS, AND LOTS AND LOTS OF CHARM. I AM WISTFULLY THINKING ABOUT WHEN THE NEXT SEASON STARTS. LOOKING FOR NEW, INTERESTING VENDORS...TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A FORMULA FOR A WINNING BUSINESS MODEL. I THINK THERE IS SO MUCH NEAT STUFF OUT IN THE UNIVERSE NOW SO PERHAPS, THE IDEA OF HAVING AN EXPERIENCE FINDING THE TREASURE IS VASTLY BECOMING MORE ABOUT THE ROMANCE OF A MOMENT. I NEED TO PROVIDE THAT MOMENT...AND IT DOESN'T INCLUDE EBAY.
1.GET THERE AT OPENING BELL, ACTUALLY EARLIER BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE DOORS OPEN UP SOONER. 2.TAKE CASH. LOTS OF IT. 3.PREPARE TO PAY THE TAG PRICE IN THE BEGINNING. THE NEGOTIATIONS HAPPEN USUALLY WITH A PIG PILE, OR THE LAST DAY, WHEN STUFF IS LINGERING. 4.USE THE PHOTOS AS SUGGESTIONS, SOME THINGS WILL BE GONE, EITHER THE FAMILY OR FRIENDS WANT THE "GOOD" STUFF. 5.BRING BAGS. BOXES, SOLD SIGNS, MOXIE...EVERYONE IS PUSHY AND SHOVY. YOU CAN TELL A GOOD PERSON BY THE WAY THEY BEHAVE IN ODD CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE AN ESTATE SALE. I ALWAYS KNOW A GOOD PERSON BY HOW THEY TREAT WAITERS, TAXI DRIVERS, SALES CLERKS, AND ANY SERVICE INDUSTRY PERSON. I KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL IN THIS LIFE TOGETHER. MAKE IT GOOD ALL. 6.START WITH THINGS THAT YOU REALLY WANT, YOU CAN DROP THEM LATER, CHECK FOR CRACKS, LOOK FOR MARKS ON CHINA. 7.LOVE THEM 8.REPEAT.
OKAY, SO I NOT GONNA BE A MILLIONAIRE. IT IS GOING TO BE ENOUGH MONEY FOR ME TO LIVE THE LIFE OF A MODERN DAY FARM DAME. TRAVELING AROUND, I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD MORE STUFF THEN I CARE TO REMEMBER. TO FINALLY LAND IN THIS BIT OF HEAVEN IS EXTRA EXTRORDINARY. I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW AMAZING IT IS TO FINALLY GROW WHERE I AM PLANTED. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME I WAS GOING TO BE BLOGGING, SELLING THINGS ON LINE, WRITING ABOUT THIS CRAZY AREA, LIVING IN MY DREAM HOUSE, I'D HAVE TOLD YOU YOU WERE NUTS. HERE I AM
DON'T FORGET THAT THE BARN SALE IS THIS WEEKEND, WE HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT STUFF. A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE, DRESS FOR DIGGING. 50 DEPOT ROAD☆EAST KINGSTON☆ROUTE 107☆SATURDAY& SUNDAY☆FROM 8 'TILL 4
