Ship Day
This is my second attempt to post today. The 'puter at the store locked up and I wasnt able to do anything other than turn it off...such is life
Today we had another ship in and we only had two ladies come up our way out of about 250 possible. We have got to figure out a way to encourage people to walk the few hundred yards further up to us...they wont be sorry.
We had a few walkers come by before we were done setting up and we had a sale. They laughed as they are non observant Jews, from Philly,that bought our Israeli made Lux Aeterna Roman Glass, in Hawaii of all places. That sale brightened my outlook. But the thing with the cruise people bothered mestill as I feel that we really need that business.
No word on Woody's job prospects. He went by the place he really wants to work at and he got sort of a cool response where it was warm last week... Not a good sign. I find it frightening.
Instead of looking for another job, Woody went to the car and listened to baseball. I really don't think he has a clue about anything. We are two checks away from destitution and he lays there. When I try to speak to him about it he looks like a whipped puppy. I detest that. I never look like that. I see looking for a job as a challenge and you have to do it as it supplies the two things we enjoy the most.... Eating and sleeping indoors. Bahhh!!! (see the DancingRainGirl refrain from screaming and turn purple)...So...
The afternoon brought two more sales small and a bit bigger one. It was nearly a 300.00 day. If every day was more like that I would feel a whole lot better... But its a matter of waiting and seeing how things go I think.
The ship left as we were going home... When I was at the Black Pearl Gallery, I would love to see the Cruise Ships leave Hilo Bay. Its like a magical lighted parade float streaming by. So pretty. Woody liked it too.
