Negative Self Has Come Out of Hiding

My positive attitude that anything is possible and that having a show again would be wonderful is starting to fade and negative me is yelling "You must be out of your damn mind."  This is certainly true, but also true that I have to go to Clarinda anyway and maybe, just maybe someone will show up this time.  

My ebay store is certainly full to overflowing, I don't think I have ever had over 800 items listed.  It is much more normal to have about 400.  Sales are uneven to say the least, lots of no sale days, but others have my car filled with packages I have to post.

The reason for the shows is this:  we have a downtown building that we re-roofed and gutted when we bought it, but then life got in the way and nothing else got done.  The city got all pissy about it needing paint, so James has been working on weekends, putting in windows and scraping paint.  Since we have to be there anyway, I figured I might as well make my $5 profit.  Here is the building in progress (the one with James on the ladder):

Here is a little bit of blackness:
