It's a Blue Light Special
Lesser Bird of Paradise Pink variety
True to my predictions... Liquidation Madness reigns supreme in Hilo. I had over 100 people in the store today (by far, a record) and like last friday, had a huge sales day. Kills me to let some of this go for nothing, but it beats us hauling it to where ever. If I can sell my Tahitian Pearl Strands, I will thank God fasting, and promise to never yell at Woody...oh... better not make vows I cant keep...
Everytime a herd of people comes in I can hear the old blues tune " Midnight Special" in my head....
"Its a Blue Light Special...
Come and See...
Get the Blue Light Special...
Its nearly free...
with regrets to the family of the original composer who I think died recently and I cannot for the life of me remember his name...
Same with our furniture. Woody sold a bunch of stuff at the house today and there are more people coming. The house went on MLS and the agent called and said that the switchboard was backed up... Showing tomorrow, ready or not. Its not all cutsey fixed up and there is stuff everywhere and two bawling cats in the small room...(they are mewing now? wait till you see what fun we have planned for you in the comming months... we will never have kitty love again after the plane flight and two months of boarding...sigh...)
Woody predicts a full price offer in two weeks. I have ordered the sea-van/ocean container for the last tuesday in March...Destination... (drumroll please...) Rail head, Port of Houston or... catch the WalMart Special (train) out of LA for Bentonville, Arkansas... We are really thinking about that a lot... Right now I am not focusing on anything but the store... Its all I can handle...alone... (Woody is working graveyard shifts guarding at the Power Plant so we pass each other like two ships in the night...)
Will write about Punalu'u tonight..it was awesome...broke my heart again as it always does.Its sort of like a good looking guy that never quite looks at YOU, so sure he is of his beauty... that he is beyond you...
