Love the sunny days we've been having. Thought I saw a robin yesterday which - ever since I was little - is cause for celebration. Whoever spotted the first robin and called Grandma with the news was awarded a shiny dime (remember I'm 51 and when I was a kid a dime still purchased quite a bit). My grandmother died June 10, 2000 and I think of her almost every day - she was a cool old lady. Smile.
Received some office supplies (mainly 3 ring binders) for donation and I had a team of volunteers help me sort, arrange and create signs. Don't you love 'em (the cute signs that is)? In case you can't read the print on the box of crayons - they're made from soybean. Is that greener than wax or whatever regular crayons are made of?
We also have some signed original paintings and lithographs in the store that I thought I would draw (draw - pretty good pun, painting/draw - get it?) your attention to. One of my volunteers did research about both Helen Howard and Edna Hibel and I just took a photo of what Tim wrote on the price tags and I hope you can read them yourself. As always, sorry for the poor photos.

Ahhhh, it's 10:35 and I still need to shower and dress! Please forgive any typos. Remember we're open today from 1 to 8 and tomorrow from 9 to 4. Come with your Visa, MasterCard or cash and your patience since I don't think I'll have many volunteers either day. Hopefully, the FREE cookies - and our wonderful selection - will keep you occupied until someone can give you a hand.
Take care and peace be with you!
