**Que the "Bambi" soundtrack** We've just passed a major milestone at the Johnson residence: the sale of our four lovely deer statues which were left here for us by the previous owner. We will miss them, but not that much since we made $90 off their sale. This was only my second Craigslist sale and I got calls from 2 lovely old ladies. The first promised to be here by 7:30pm to pick them up, so when Old Lady #2 called, telling me about how long her husband had wanted some of those, it broke my heart just a little bit. Unfortunately for #2, Lady #1 did turn up on time with cash. She was overjoyed according to August. And only maybe 60, not quite old enough for her love of deer yard ornaments to be cute. Old Lady #2 was REALLY old, by the sound of her voice... I wish I had more little deer statues to sell her. Alas...
In memorium, here are some shots of the deer with Bethany from last weekend. (side note: Bethany got stranded overnight at the Denver airport, so we got a fabulous and very unexpected visit from her. I encourage all of you to route your flights through Denver... You never know...)
A final tribute: This is hilarious for about the first 30 seconds.
I love that I made your blog. And I especially love that you made $90 on your fake deer...and that we have those lovely pictures to commemorate them. sigh. my flight home goes through some non-Denver aero puerto. Boo hiss. I expect you to get stranded in Nashville sometime soon. :)
