We are now only 13 days from closing our retail gift shop and it’s a little hard to comprehend what that will be like. Â We’ve lived our lives around the store here in Escalante, Ut for the past 8 years and we’ve not had free time to stay up late, travel, write, read much or so many other things.
Now that’s it here, we’re both clinging to a dream yet not knowing what that will mean. Â C.A. Brooks said it well in her post this past week – “Once again we are reminded to take a breath and honor the pause as a change in direction reveals itself. Vehicles do not instantly change from forward to reverse and neither do we.”
In the meantime time I’m doing a few price changes to make some items more ideal for travelers to take home and feature items that need to find a new home before we close. Â I’m in the process of moving my jewelry studio home and I’ll spend the rest of the weekend doing just that. Â That will pretty much empty four of eight rooms of “stuff”. Â If you think you accumulate “stuff” at home over the years, retail operations are worse. Â I’ve rooted out enough pencils, pens, and sticky notes to last the rest of our lifetime and then some.
It’s Friday – peace and joy to all for a pleasant fall weekend. Â The Aspen have turned and the cottonwood are following along. Â A beautiful weekend for a Sunday drive.
Until next time – – –
