Sister for Sale

Is there anyone who would like a girl to keep them company? Well, I know someone who would be up to the job. She likes food, noise, and bright colors. And the best part is she’s only twenty dollars!

Firstly, this girl can really eat, and I mean really eat. You know those leftovers that have been sitting in the fridge for the last month, well; Holly can exterminate those in ten seconds flat. Tired of old Halloween candy lying in a bowl? She can cure that conundrum in no time at all. See, food doesn’t need to go rotten anymore. Those days are over.

Also, awkward silence is not a problem with my little “friend.” That is mostly because there IS no silence. Fatigued of silence and boredom? Holly won’t let you down for entertainment during almost any time. You will almost always have multiple questions to answer. Don’t waste any more time sitting bored on the couch. Call Soon!

Additionally, tired of boring beige, teal and a touch of salmon? Holly can color up that problem quicker than you can say, “Put down that marker.” All you need to do is buy some cheap makers and give them to Holly and she will turn your house into a masterpiece. The best part is, if you get the right kind of markers, it may never come off. So throw those salmon curtains down and make way for Holly!

Lastly, just give me a call at XXX-XXX-XXXX if you are interested in buying my sister. She enjoys food, noise, and lots of color. Once again, she’s only twenty dollars.

By the way, she comes as is, no warranty and absolutely NO REFUNDS!

It is fun to imagine life without a little sister sometimes. I believe I can get rid of my sister, I’ve been dreaming of it for almost 10 years now, I’m inspiring others to buy my sister. All in fun, of course.

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them. Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough). SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary. The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

08/23/25 Organ

The Washington First Ward Building was sold to the City of Washington. Part of my responsibilities included dispensing of the organ and pianos in the building (along with other things). It is an Allen, approximately 1970s. I put the organ up on the auction. There were a couple of other people that were bidding on it, but I ultimately won the bid (for under $100). On the day I won the bid I was able to arrange a mover!!! I paid $250 to have someone from the piano store move it to our house (I have no idea how he managed to get that into the back bedroom....but he did it!!!) Then, it wouldn't work. 😭 I waited for approximately 6 weeks before a guy (who had to be 80 years old) came down from SLC and repaired the organ. (So the organ wasn't actually broken, it had to do with the electricity and the house talking nicely to one another.) It took him a couple of hours to figure it out. He charged about $200 and voila! I have a working church organ. Cool, eh? Now, I got...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while. We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games. Academia Statue of David A bum shot Kevin and a cello One of the first pianos ever Early pianos Art in the Uffuzi The ceilings!
