My Mom's Store

My mom has a store in Ashley, ND named "Prairie Connection". It is like no other consignment store on earth. Today we bought: a stuffed monkey, a swimsuit for Ava, a sweatshirt for myself, and a bag of rocks (future craft project in waiting). This bag of stuff cost us $8.50. What a deal! But wait....the "store" owed me $35.00 for items I had consigned so we actually walked away from the store with a bag of goodies and some extra cash to spend next time we come home. After 12 years of runing the store my mom is starting to think about selling it. My sister probably described the feeling best when she said, "It must be like perpetually moving. Packing and unpacking boxes for 12 years." I can understand why it would get old, but what a great place!
