Evening all.............rainy and dreary here the last 2 days..........was 49 degrees this AM at 7:30 - kinda chilly for this time of year. I spent the day putting away summer stuff and getting out the cooler weather clothes for Florida winter.
Our Friends of the Library had a 5 day sale in October.... we had missed 4 for the covid pandemic. I didn't work it, the doctor said no. Too many unvacinated people coming and going.... oh well, first one I have missed in 21 yrs.
Results were astounding. They finally decided to accept credit cards and pay for the service and it sure was worth it.
We had record 10 cent day the last day — $6,023.07. That means 60,230 books, puzzles, artwork, etc. went out the door in 6 hours.........
The Fall sale brought in a total of $158,736.14. Credit card fees for the sale total $3,058.88.
Now comes the fun part when we add in adjustments — money we have taken in since the last sale in Fall 2019 — which total $45,752.52. (we had some order a Bag of Book sales, drive up and pay during the pandemic when we were closed)
. Our grand total is $204,488.66.
Lots of books went out the door, lots of money came in. It was a very good sale.
Family news...... my 5th and 6th Great grandbabies each turned 1 yr. old in the last 8 months. Doctor grandson Samuel a doctor in USAF, got stationed at base in Anchorage, Alaska. He and Valerie are real outdoors pair and they are totally enjoying themselves there. My family is now scattered in Alaska, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Two youngest great grands only seen in pictures or videos.
Hoping all of you are well.................and stay that way. Sister and I both wanting to cruise, but not yet...soon I hope before I get to old and cranky to go.
