The sun is shining!  Madison Keys won the Australian Open.  I only missed the opening point.  It was a great match.  Very happy for her.  She has been trying for a Grand slam win since she was a teenager.  

It's Saturday.  I am going to go sourcing today and tomorrow.  Changing it up a bit and going out of town to a different Salvation Army today and a different Goodwill tomorrow.

I am also excited to get out of the house and spend the weekend at my mother's house.  My sister, retired Navy Captain, owns it and I stay there a few times a month to keep it clean and lived in.  My mom passed in 2011.  Her house has helped me so much.

One, I know she is with me still when I stay there.  Two, it has come in handy many times.  

When I retired from the classroom and was hired to lead the speacial Middle School language programs, I traveled to Middle Schools all over the state to teach or observe others teaching.  I stayed at my mom's when I taught at one of the schools. That turned out to be two to three times a week.

Next, it was awesome to have it when my son suddenly became a single dad with two small boys.  It is a very long story but the end result was he bought a home in a town only seven miles form my mom's.  I had to be close to him to help with the boys.  I lived at my mom's for the two and half years I helped with the boys. It was a blessing to have the house because I live about seventy minutes away from my son and when you have to get up at your son's by 6:15 am, living only seven miles away is so much better!

Now, I go stay there a few times a month.  It gives me a break from being "stuck at home" and my husband will finally watch what he wants on TV and get a break from tennis.  He is not the fan I am.

I'll visit with my older sister, a retired elementary teacher, and give her something to do.  I've sold some of the items she gave me for my closet.  She earned $11 recently!  Woot! Woot!

Other people, friends or family, are a great way to source for items to sell in my closet.  Our arrangement is that I receive 60% of the amount earned on each item and they get 40%.  All totalled, my sister has earned about $40. Friend A- about $75  Friend B- about $40  Friend C- about $50.  Not bad for passive income.  

Also accomplished today:  Listed 4 items; shared; followed; shared; followed........... and it is just 10am.  I guess the early bird really does get the worm, or, at least  get something done.

In good spirits today and not going to stress the small stuff!
