friends

carol and i at work.... plus timmy


today seemed to be about friends....so many women coming in together and enjoying everything.
..the winner this week had to be our painters 91 yr old mother and her 96 yr old buddy....they have been friends for 70 yrs....and still like to go shopping together....
another dear pair have been coming in for about 20 yrs...
another customer had wade and dh and i to dinner, and like a lot of people his house was full of things he just loves and they came from us years ago...a folk painting, a big goat head and lots of furniture.....

the customers are really the best part of the business..... i get to hear some very fun stories, histories and on going dramas.....
the economy is really not doing well around here , and it makes me feel good when customers tell me how glad they are that we are still open and doing ok........ everybody seems to know its pretty tough ..so many things going up, for us and everybody, and the publics money going down....
