Getting my taxes done this week. Blah Blah Blah
Had a good sales day yesterday which is necessary because I was closed most of last week.
I'm helping my daughter get her house ready to sell and it makes me aware of all the things I need to have done in my house before I can sell it.
Replace a damaged electric line to one outlet, install new water heater and new faucets at all the sinks, new deck, repair gutter in one corner, paint bedrooms and replace all flooring. Also landscaping in front of house. The list just keeps getting longer and longer.
Time to stop complaining and get busy.
Have a great day!

SNOW SNOW SNOW
10" of snow Monday and another 2" on Wednesday. Not as bad as some areas but more than enough for me. I didn't have a snow shovel so I took the broom out and swept the porch, steps and driveway. Got my car cleaned off and went to work on Wednesday but only stayed for 4 hrs. It was way too cold for customers. The temps have dropped below 0. Once it gets down to the -0 stage it all seems the same. 12 to 30 mph winds and -0 temps.
I woke up at 2am on one of these nights and thought "no one has called to see if I'm okay or if I need help". Makes you wonder about all those children and grandchildren. Maybe they just don't think I'm old enough to need help. We get snow like this every 15 to 20 yrs. If I keep this house will anyone check up on me when I'm in my 80's. interesting thoughts. I have 3 daughters, maybe I should have had sons then their wives could remind them to go help their mother.
While I was at home this week I worked on making some decorative kitchen towels. I'm going to try selling them in the store, we'll see how they do. At least it gives me something different to work on since I cannot knit anymore. I'm not a creative person but sometimes I like to trying making things that I've seen others do. No original ideas.
Wish I could head south to a RV show.
Have a great day!

WHICH RV IS BEST?
Last night I dreamed of traveling in a large class A. Very nice with lots of room, there were 3 of us sitting at the table and moving around the rv and we had plenty of room. Did I mention the rv was moving at the time. Yes, a very strange dream, the rv was driving it's self down a gravel road around curves and through the mountains all while we were in the back talking and visiting. Wouldn't this be great if you could put a destination in the gps and just sit back and enjoy the trip. I'm sure this stems from my fear of buying an rv then not being able to drive it.
Sometimes I think I will need a travel trailer so I will have a vehicle to drive while workcamping. Then I think a small class c would be so much easier to drive. I wish there was a way to drive different types of rv's before making the decision. How much does having a class c and not pulling a car limit you?
Some things I do know
RV needs and wants:
comfortable bed with lots of support *
comfortable chair for reading and tv *
tub & shower combo
outdoor shower
lots of windows *
led lighting
solar panels
tall sink faucets
2 door refrigerator
thermo pane windows
* is for must have. Bed and sitting in comfort becomes an issue when you have back problems. I don't have a lot of back problems but one bad night will cause me pain for days.
Back to work. Have a great day!

COLD COLD COLD
Today I'm working on getting more books on the shelves. I had a big sale ad go out yesterday so hopefully I'll be busy for the rest of the week.
It was only 17* this morning and is not suppose to get above 27* today. Wish I was somewhere warm. I've been looking at class B's and C's on rvtrader. I wish there were some close by to wander around in. There is a car dealer close to me that has some rv's on his lot right now but I'm too lazy to go there on Mondays and he is closed on Sundays. Besides I really don't want to talk to a salesman. I enjoyed the rv show because I could just wander around, tour the rv's and check prices without speaking to the salesman. I would really like to walk through a Casita. I've seen lots of pictures and read lots of blogs about them but I'd like to see it for myself.
As usual too many choices and no money to spend!
This morning I was looking at planning a trip to Alaska. I could fly to Anchorage and rent a car for a 17 day tour for about 3500 including hotels. With one of the tour groups it would include a tour of Denali and some other tourist stuff. So many places to see and so little time.
I better get back to work - it's hard to sell books if you don't get them on the shelves.
Have a great day!
