Going to visit Kelley's booth at the antique mall.

Kelley's booth.
Today Kelley drove me about 30 minutes away from Klatskanie to the town where she has a booth in an antique mall. She took a few items to the booth, rearranged her items, and brought home one item that wasn't selling.
She is quite knowledgeable about the items she sells. She isn't just a buyer and seller, she is a collector. Last night she showed us some of the different buttons she has....glass ones, cloth ones, bone ones. She has dolls, hat pins. It is much fun seeing all of her stuff. I admire the big cabinets, tables, etc that she uses in her home.
Her kids that are still at home were in and out this afternoon. Rachael works at Home Depot, Brianna works at a convenience store, and Ethan is starting firefighter training in September, a two year program.
Glen drove the motorhome to Portland Oregon, to a Spartan-approved chassis repair shop. The air suspension leveling valve was leaking and needed to be replaced. The shop had the correct valve and the replacement was made. Other components were checked, and it was determined that the air conditioning belt needed to be replaced, which it was. On the drive back to Clatskanie Glen thought the air was colder from the a/c, and the leveling system worked properly when the ignition was turned off. Hurray, all is well.
Tomorrow will be another fun day. Kelley's sister, Flora, is coming to visit with us. Yea, another cousin.
