dual personalities

Well, happy Wednesday, friends. I’m home from three arduous days in Columbia at another Unclaimed Property Auction. I wrote about an earlier auction in July. The office did two this year because we didn’t do any in 2020 or 2021. We’ve got to clean out some space for new items that are turned over beginning November 1. Oy.

Anyway, the auction was a big success, with high attendance. I tend to think everything we sell is interesting because it was valuable enough to someone that they wanted to save it. Even if that item is a collector’s set of American Chopper PEZ dispensers. One interesting item we had this year–a thousand dollar bill from 1928! It features Grover Cleveland and was discontinued in 1969.

It was a hot ticket item and sold for over $3,000.

In other news, I’ve transitioned from summer Rose back to the red blend. And from sandals to slippers in the house. My windows are open and the heat and air conditioning are off. We’ve had some beautiful weather and I hope it holds so we can go to the winery this weekend. Monday is Columbus Day so I don’t have to work! Quelle treat.

I’ll leave you Ephesians, which is where I am in my year-long quest to read the bible.

“Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that you might be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against the rulers, the authorities, against the cosmic powers over the present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” –Ephesians 6:10-12
