Today is typical Cincinnati dreary, rainy, misty, cloudy, but warmer than one would expect for November in the midwest. Actually, the latest weather here would make you really believe in global warming. This summmer we had three months of 90 degree heat, with no rain. In my neighborhood, some of the die hards watered there lawns (like my neighbor across the street), some did nothing, and then there were those like me who watered when it started feeling crunchy. If the grandkids wanted to play in the water sprinkler, it was in the front yard! That way I didn't feel too guilty for wasting the water on the lawn, I was helping the little ones get cool and have some fun.

My task for today is to finally try to sell some stuff on E-bay. When my mom passed away, I ended up with more dishes, china, and lots of junk that is taking up all my valuable storage space. I am going to bite the bullet and dive right in to the auction scene. What I'm going to try first is some china, sold old 78 rpm records, a Bicentennial radio gadget, and some old advertising signs. Wish me luck.

I could use some tips from anyone who has been doing this for awhile and understands their way around. Send me your helpful hints and we can share.
