Friday

Another eventful day!  Yesterday we took a day off and went to the Villages of Van Buren County by way of Drakesville.  We had some posters showing the treadle sewing machine and the sewing machine case we had.  Dave specifically wanted the Amish to buy them because that's all they use.  So we took posters to Hershbergers Grocery and then we stopped at Ernest & Naomi Yoder's home to see if she wanted the large partial roll of batting for her church group.  She did AND she said she'd buy both the sewing machine and the cabinet!  So that was a very worthwhile trip.


After that, we went to Cantril to the Dutchman's Store for some popcorn and miscellaneous things we only buy there.  For lunch we stopped at Misty's in Keosauqua!  Jim was working on  painting doors at our house while we were gone!

Today first thing Cathy came to clean house, but since it was clean, I put her to washing windows.  We, meanwhile, went back to Drakesville to deliver the two cabinets to Naomi.  On our way to Yoders, we saw several hayracks loaded with hanging planters going to the auction site.  I don't know if they were having an auction today or what, but it was fun seeing hayracks loaded with brightly colored flowers, pulled by horses, going down the road.

When we got home, I started washing windows downstairs and together, Cathy and I got all of the windows washed except for the ones in the sunroom!  That's another day!  Dave worked on the yard so it looks beautiful and we listed the house officially starting Monday!

More later...
