We Keep, 'Keeping On'...

Another 14 hour day... And I know we are making progress... We can walk through building, with pathways... I truly had noooo idea, this would be such an undertaking, I keep saying that, and Peg keeps rolling her eyes... "You truly had 'no idea'?, Barb when you said, what you were going to do, I could see it, way before I walked in the door..." Funny, all I could see, was the finished project... Peg has hung in there, even more than myself... You really wouldn't think, this would be such a big deal.... Really, my goodness, this is only a 700 square foot building... But it's kind of like decorating a wedding cake... it's all in the details... We have had some minor catastrophe's, but neither of us got wounded...just a few bruises, here and there... As we were moving in stuff, Tuesday, Amy popped in, with some treasures, she thought I might like...{More Christmas...Peg and I have found 'Christmas', stashed, all over the place... so I did not want Peg to see these darling little pieces, and kept telling Amy, to keep them out of sight!} I was pretty good, tho, I didn't buy all of the sweet little ornaments, just a bunch that I really, really liked! My Pal Polly,{pollyanns} is having an Open House, tonight, in Mt.Vernon... Wish I could go, but if I don't keep goin', this will never get done... The entire town, and businesses 'Light Up!' How fun! {next year..., I'll make it!} I have to finish getting all of my stuff, out of Dale's Van and trailer... He will be picking it up, this afternoon...Peg, Allyson, John and myself, went to the 'Veiwing', last night, for Dale's Father... Dale looked sooo tired... But, I think relieved. His Father had been ill, for so long, and no one wants to see a loved one suffer... His Mother, had been so courageous, and had taken care of Dale's Dad, for a long, long time... She is such a blessing, to their family... I know I had promised images of the store... I will get some on today! I am still not sure, I can stand back far enough, from anything, to capture a picture... Peg keeps saying, we really should have taken pictures, when we were about 2 days into the journey... All I can say, is it looked like the shop 'vomited', all over itself...really.... I have 'unearthed some pretty cool stuff, tho... We were wrapping up, around 9:00, last night, and I found an old book, from 1814...Wow... It's kind of like an 'archaeologists dig', you never know, what may lay, under that next layer of rock!
