Nice Too Be Back

After 90 plus hours with out lights, water, heat our power was restored late in the day on Friday. Many of our friends and family in New Jersey are still struggling without power to this day. Les and I work on Friday and Saturday at auctions, so yesterday it was our day off. We just loafed all day, enjoying the comfort of our home. Being the pioneer couple kicked our butts last week. Les kept the woodstove going so that the house stayed warm and we could heat the food up that I had made last weekend. But believe me that got old real fast. We lost all of our food in both our refrig and freezer, so today I was at the grocery store re-stocking. I know that losing our food is nothing compared to one losing their home and or their loved ones. I am not going to go on and on about being taking showers and being warm. We are just thankful that we are. I tryed reading everyone's blogs but on the cell phone is tough, so I gave it up. By the third day of being off the computer I realized that I was not missing it all that much. So, I think I am going to change how much time I spend on the computer and start reading more, which is what I did last week and really did enjoy it. Have a wonderful Monday evening. Please keep all of the people who are still struggling in New Jersey in your prayers.

On Our Windy Way

We will be heading out shortly to Long Valley, NJ. We are able to load in tonight for our show tomorrow. We are not allowed to set anything out, but at least we can get all of our tables and inventory in. Then we head back out tomorrow before the rooster crows (like 5:30 a.m.) to set up for a 9:30 a.m. start. Show is until 4:30. Weather sure has been crazy this week, little snow, lots of wind, rain. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Les and I are going out as we need all the time we can to get ready for our final antiques show of 2010. All in all in has been a good year for us at our shows. Many of the shows we have been doing 3 to 4 years and now we have a following (Antique Groupies) which is the best. Nothing like return customers, even if they just stop by your booth to say Hi. Our show this weekend is the 41st Annual Show & Sale @ Hunterdon Central Field House, 84 Rt.31, Flemington, NJ. Sat 9:00 to 4:00, Sun. 10:00 to 3:00.

Looking forward to seeing some of our good friends from NJ who will be stopping by.

Happy Fall Everyone

But, it was more like Summer today. Low 80's and a bit humid, tomorrow should be more humid!! Then we are back to more seasonable temps for the weekend. Les and I have been quite busy with our Antique Shows and going to auctions, flea markets and yard sales to re-stock. We have had some really good shows all Spring & Summer and the Fall looks to be just as promising. On Saturday we are heading back to the town we grew-up in, Metuchen, NJ. There is a rummage sale that we are told we should not miss and then the whole town is having a town wide Yard Sale!! Sounds like fun. We may even meet up with my sister and have lunch. This is just a short post, but I hope to get back in to the swing of blogging again real soon. Enjoy your weekend. P.S. My calendar tells me it is a Full Harvest Moon tonite, I gotta go see if is out, it was pretty cloudy before.

Antique Show

That's where we will be this Sunday June 20th. Hunterdon County Antiques Fair, Rt.179 (just off Rt.202) Ringoes, NJ. It benefits Hunterdon County 4H Leaders Assoc. 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will be located in Pavillion "B". So, come on out and bring Dad, he just might find something that he would like for Father's Day!! We are not far from New Hope, PA and Lambertville NJ, make a day of it. Have a great weekend.

A Visit With The Sisters

Well, I gave in. I went to New Jersey. I picked up my sister Irene who lives about 20 minutes from me and we met up with our sister Marge in Franklin Park, NJ. Where we visted with our oldest sister Joan who resides in a nursing home. Marge, Irene and myself see each other every couple of months (sometimes longer) but for me it has been years since I saw my oldest sister. We are a family of five, four girls, one boy. My brother was the missing link yesterday, he is not in the best of health and I think it would have been too much for him. I actually don't have very health siblings. Marge and myself are the healthy ones out of the bunch. But, enough of that. Our sister visit was good, we sat and talk about family, parents, kids, etc. Had lunch and doughnuts and coffee with our sister Joan before heading back to PA. And I'm glad that I gave in and went, as my siblings are all older then me, and one nevers knows how long anyone of us has here on Earth. I'm off this week from work, taking my unused vacation days. I really didn't do much today, but I'm tired. Tomorrow we will be checking out our weekly auction, I let you know what we find. Have a good evening.
