Hello all..............sorry, been doing "health stuff" -- more and more with every year.
GAIL: About the FOL SALE.......... they missed 2 years because of Covid, but the last two sales have been OK... they changed lots of rules - limiting number of shoppers in bldg...... at a time....as some leave the line moves forward. (not sure I like that, standing out in the Fla. hot sun is not pleasant...even for cheap books. Also, lots of new worker, many of we older ones have not been able to return for health reasons..... I haven't worked a sale in 3 years........... and the finally decided to accept credit cards as well as cash and checks, and it has improved the income.
That said - the total for the sale this spring was $179,113.00 - all on donated books and volunteer labor.
My sister and I have made reservations for a Halloween cruise to the Eastern Carribean this fall. I can hardly wait.
11 days - 10/28 - 11/7 - out of Ft. Lauderdale. We will NOT drive to Ft. Lauderdale as we have done before, our old bodies can't take the time and hysteria of South Fla. driving....so we will meet in Atlanta and fly together the day before the cruise.... same on return - back to Atlanta and then fly to our individual homes.
