I could see myself rolling up my sleeves and digging in like you have been. They are lucky to have you--and the place will never be the same--but you have to take care of yourself, too. You and Far Guy need some down time to just chill (and turn your museum brain off)--LOL! Just remember it took many years for them to let things go like they did. ;) <br /><br />I'm praying you will get some volunteers! Maybe contact the local paper to see if they could write up an article. The ghost would be an interesting twist to add to the story. Maybe a "can you help us? what is this?" picture or two. And then a plea for volunteers...maybe a picture of Chance sitting someplace at the museum...he wants to help, but I need somebody with hands... ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-7743665542999524902011-07-24T19:56:58.274-05:002011-07-24T19:56:58.274-05:00I like Jen's display - quite appropriate for ...I like Jen's display - quite appropriate for this time of year. Good for her keeping it rotated. People notice change but stop seeing sameness after a while.<br />Your job is like the library's work---never done.

I am unable to undelete my old blog and have started a new one. I need a swift kick in the a$$ for my stupidity.

The stuff piling up has been there for a while. I know you'll get to the business end of dealing with that when you can - but as long as you have a place to sit, life is good! Could a volunteer help with that? Is there a local organization that helps locate and place volunteers? If I were there I'd come help ;-)Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-12238213704056904552011-07-24T07:55:43.499-05:002011-07-24T07:55:43.499-05:00That place is really shaping up!
