So,

I wrote the whole blog and posted it, save the family party as the last thing. But when I pulled it back up to add the pictures from tonight all of the writing had disappeared. Yep, two hours of writing. Looks like you'll get the short version now.

Framed the top picture here Monday, Marie Hatch, a gal I minister to had given it to me on Sunday. I went by to pay her that night while Dad was at barbershop and had a nice visit.

These are some of the other pictures I framed to be sold at The Grove.

On Tuesday I sold this doll to this gal who is the props master for a small film group. It will be in a WWII movie.

This gal brought some copper pieces I was just pricing for Joyce.

Cheryl's ex-husband Craig came by.

And the north Treasures store had this adventure, when a shoplifter was followed out by Cole, one of our dealers who was working. While trying to get a pic of her back license plate, she gunned her car backwards, and he jumped out of the way in time. Then she turned toward him and came at him again. This time he jumped onto the hood to avoid being hit. He slid off the side as she gunned out of the parking lot with the $400 worth of sports cards. The police came and watched the vid Cole had taken and picked her up. She spent the night in jail .... for assault with a car. Really people?

Thursday 3 customers changed my weekend. This guy was looking to sell these for his sister. We ended up picking them up Friday afternoon for our family room.

The gal who requested a picture of my type tray shadow box, did so because she is making some of her own. We found out that we had a lot in common, including both knowing Miles Abernathy and this year is their 50th anniversary. I invited them to dinner for Saturday.

The third customer wanted me to come and see the leftovers from the estate garage sale she'd done for her mom. Really? Then she mentioned that there were a few things she had not put out. So ... I drove down first thing on Friday ... this is the haul. A good one.

Meanwhile these girls were on a news spot in Texas, having their opinions checked out about No Sales Tax Week.

Trevor was on a work trip, shown here with a work associate, and was on the one side of a Peninsula in the Great Lakes Regions, while Becca and her family were on the other side.

While I was down checking out the estate in San Pete County, Dad ran into former Mosida missionaries, the Child's,

Trevor still on his work trip.

Davin has fun with his work too. He won the award for best Wacky Tacky day outfit.

Serious business around the office.

As you see.

These two finished up their braces.

Becca and Brady et al stopped in Cody on their way home from their States trip, and got to hang out a bit with Spencer and Brittney et al.

Elias took baking lessons from his Aunt Ashley and got to hang out with his cousin Zac too.

Britt and Mike celebrated their 17th anniversary on Friday.

And on Saturday Davin's family and Dad and I went to Penny's play.

She got to be a pirate in Treasure Island.

so fun

The whole crew.

and the cheering section too.

and Mimi

Here are our new friends Patti and Miles Hall from AF. She brought these beautiful and tasty tortes for dessert after we finished Navajo Tacos. Of course, there was a house tour too.

We had just one student in primary.

Here we are at the family dinner held tonight. These girls are trying out the cookies they made, Reagan's eating Adi's Tiramisu cookie while Adi eats Reagan's pink frosted sugar cookie knock off.
