I am happy to report that I am the owner of my store now. When we returned home from our 3 wk. stay in Mo. the warrenty deed was in our mail. Yea!! Also the new roof is being done this week. So I have a start.
Yesterday I went to the grocery store to restock the empty refrig. and there was a lady in the parking lot. She had a dog in her car very similar to mine so being the friendly person I am, I spoke to her about her dog. She ended up getting the dog out of the car to meet me and we chatted for awhile. Found out she just opened a used book store just 15 mi. so of me about 6 mo ago and had very positive things to say about it. She gave me her card and invited me to come look around and seemed very willing to share her experience with me. Now how is that for syncrinisity? To meet a total stranger and find something in common. I seem to be finding this happening alot in my life lately or I am just more in tune to it. I think we should all pay attention to these things. Its really cool.
More about my store, while in Mo. I got some insurance set up. Mostly to just cover me for liability in case some little theif broke in and cut his foot on the glass. Anyway the ins. agent told me that he knows of several small book stores in the general area, and they seem to be doing very well. In talking to a few local folks in this little town, I got very positive feelings about it also. So I am excited and have taught a couple family members how to make a good deal on buying good nearly new books at yard sales for me. ha ha. Only the good deals. I went to one while there and offered 10$ for a whole tub of books and when I got home had 93 books. At least I won't have to haul them like the boxes I have packed up here. Next trip back will plan to start tearing out windows to get ready to reside the building next summer. Only going to have windows on the front and will replace the ones there with new standard vynal windows and I want to put shutter on each side of them. Also want to look into an awning over the door. Brother is putting in a new front door for me this fall yet. Then we can start on the inside stuff. Still have plenty of time to get it all done. Just a pay as I go deal so when I start I will only have my utilities and insurance to pay out. Well enough for now.
Oh, one last thing. I believe in the power of positive thinking, so could everyone please send some love and positive thinking along to my daughter, If you are a regular reader of this family of bloggers you will know who I mean. Things are getting real tough for her right now and she needs all the love and support out there to get thru. Thanks so much. dc
