Sunday, September 12, 2010. I realized I put the wrong date on yesterday's blog. It was supposed to be 9/11.
The picture is of a waterfall just about 25 miles north of here.
Today I sewed for about 15 minutes in the morning then I made a handful of bags of clean laundry for the cabins. Three of the cabins will have to be cleaned by this evening.
There is an auction on the lake today and I am going. We always have to be on the lookout for deals. I went and saw a lot of people from the area there. I bought another ironing board (great for the quilt retreat), 4 oak chairs for $25 each, a TV and stand for $70 and a leather sofa. Hopefully John will like the leather sofa because I want it to go in our living room. We will have to pick it up tomorrow because I couldn't get it in the minivan with the TV, stand and chairs. I know the realtor who is selling the house and he said that I had until Thursday to pick it up.
I was at the auction from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. For the most part it was boring as they went through all the small stuff first. I like auctions though because sometimes you get a great deal.
When I got back at 2:15, there were 3 cars pulling into the resort. Our Maple and Ironwood cabins had arrived early. Check in is 3:00 p.m. and I hadn't cleaned the cabins yet. So I got busy, busy, busy. They were both in their cabins within an hour and a half thanks to John's help.
After the cabins were cleaned, I put some new chairs in Alder, the new ironing board in Aspen and baskets that came with the ironing board (you have to buy a pile of stuff, not just one thing) in Hemlock. At auctions they put a pile of stuff together and make us bid on the pile. I only wanted the ironing board, but I had to get the junk too.
John and I spent about an hour getting the new TV where we wanted it and working. John likes it so that is good. It has better sound and picture quality than any of our TV's too. We have it in the lodge now. The lodge's TV is going to go into our bedroom and the bedroom TV is going to go in the Alder cabin with the new TV stand. Musical furniture.
So after standing all day at the auction and then loading and unloading the minivan and getting the cabins cleaned, I'm exhausted. I took a shower and am almost finished with my glass of wine. The Packers won in Philadelphia too. So its a great day.
