Red Knobs and Little Jobs

I listed the red knobs on Etsy and they were gone within 24 hours. Wow!They are on their way to Arkansas.
R told me they would sell right away and he was right. Don't tell him I said he was right, though.

The other day while we were listening to the classic rock station, a Rick Derringer song came on the radio. Bet you can't name that tune...............give up?? OK, a few more seconds.....time is up. Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo......oh sure, that's right..... you were going to say that, weren't you? Well, anyways.....you know how one thing will lead to another and then another? I said to R, "OK, who sings this song?" He always says Winchester somebody. Get it Winchester...Derringer...both are guns. Well, then I said "what band did he play guitar with?" He always forgets. I said "you know Edgar Winter." I then said, "Wow, you know you never hear about Johnny Winter anymore....I wonder if he is still alive?"

Two days later, on Friday, I went to the mail box and got the mail. Friday is the day we get the Grand Blanc View newspaper and lo and behold....look what was in the newspaper.Yup, that's right...Johnny Winter. We threw down our tools, combed our hair, and an hour later we were here.....
listening to Johnny Winter.
Of course, we were in the Geritol section. We were surrounded by an unusual array of concert goers. One guy kept waving his cane walker in the air to the music. Another old guy was nodding his head like those two guys in the movie, A Night at the Roxbury. Then there was the group of 10 guys in front of us, that were all dress in their best hunting clothes and insisted on getting up every 10 minutes. They were either ADHD or had bladders the size of walnuts.

So anyways....we are still waiting on granite polishing tools so we can finish the granite counter tops. In the meantime we are doing odd little jobs inside the house because we STILL have snow outside.

  1. Do you have ceiling done in your kitchen? Just wondering when you said you didn't have nothing to do until polisher arrives. Mom

  2. WOW! I just checked out your Etsy site and you've only had a shop for a month and you've already sold so much!!! Nearly everyday! Crazy! You must be priced right or something, eh? Congratulations! Have you advertised at all?

    Since my "regresty" experience, I've created a Google Analytic account which shows me how many people visit my etsy shop and which items they click on and where they are from (Country, State, City). It's pretty cool and it's really easy. Let me know if you want more info.

    Maybe those guys who were in their hunting clothes were going to go smoke a dubie (sp?)?

    I'm glad I finally had time to catch up with your blog!

  3. I have a lot of vintage jewelry. Some I it I was able to purchase very very cheap.

    I love the mechanical watches and we are constantly upgrading our collection and selling as we go.

    I can't believe how many watches I have sold out of the country. Monday I went to the post office with S.C., Canada and Chile packages.

  4. I am puter illiterate.

    Thanks for the offer. Maybe once we get settled with the house I can hit the Etsy thing big time and you can show me the tricks of the trade then.

    Until then...I am lucky just to be able to log into my account...LOL
