Where Did the Bottom Go?

Wow! August started out as if it was going to break all records, then, this past week, it seemed as if it died. I just did some recordkeeping and it is not as bad as it seemed. It hasn't died, it is just catching its breath. It is the third best month, with still a quarter of the month to go. That must say something about illusion compared to reality.

The listing count is approaching 2600—it should go over that today. Last weekend was nicely busy with family events, so not much was added to the listings. My brother had his annual picnic on Saturday. He sets up a big (as in BIG) tent out back at his farm and invites the family and his friends and work associates. I got to visit with lots of the family and friends. Two of my granddaughters were thrilled with the farm animals. The pigs made a hit, as well as one goat. Oh, and the box full of day old kittens was the big favorite. One granddaughter didn't like cats when she first found the box, but after a little while, she at least liked kittens. Then Sunday, we went to a Yankees game that my second son put together for his brother-in-law who was here from London. It was a really fun day.

Got to go help the bride. Have a great day.
