Hey Everyone - I am sooo grateful for all the help this last week (and before!) from so many good friends - to Mom and me! A gazillion things are priced and sorted and ready for tomorrow.
Several of you have cautioned me about the onslaught of people that may come earlier than 9am tomorrow. Although the gates won't be officially opened to the public until 9am - cars will be able to come in when others (like us!) enter. I'll be there at 7:30am (or just after) to figure out the cash register (yes, we're really going to rock and roll!) and do final set up stuff. If any of you want to take a little time to 'shop' yourselves - you are certainly welcome to come earlier than 8:30.
I've had emails from Reno, Yuba City, Bay Area, Modesto and of course locally from people coming - I think it's gonna be a busy day! Get a good night's sleep and be ready to have Lots Of Fun!...;)!
I will have nametags - just sticker with a place to write your name - so the 'shoppers' will know who the 'helpers' are. Dad has his fridge stocked with cold water bottles. When you get to Dad's - please come find me so I can 'brief you and give you a job'!
I think we're pretty well prepared for Friday with help - Saturday I'm still pretty lean - so if you know of anyone who thinks this would just be so fun to help out - let them know they'd be welcome! You can give them my email info or cell phone (225-4611) to contact me.
There just aren't words to say how grateful I am for all your help! My Dutch Uncle explained to me many years ago that the Dutch people have lots of words for different types of 'love' - like I love my family, I love my dog, I love chocolate in the English language. I wish there were more words for 'Thank You!'.
You're all amazing!
