Sue:

I spent my day in the upstairs stockroom, finishing up the jade shipment check-in. It wasn't so bad except for how cold it is upstairs. But that helped to keep me awake. That and our boss, Dennis, taking us for coffee.

Upstairs stockroom:

Looks pretty empty right now, doesn't it? Well, it won't be that way for long. We keep getting more stuff in every day. I'm really not sure where it's all going to go. And see those boxes on the floor closest to us in the picture? Those are boxes of jade pebbles. 300 pounds of 'em. We had to heft those up a flight of stairs that aren't wide enough for a normal foot. Makes life interesting.

The upstairs looks better than the downstairs right now. Because it's being beautified right now, we can't put things away quite yet so stuff is just lying around everywhere.
I'm trying to get them just to leave it like that and have a big rumage-sale kinda deal, but so far they're not going for it.

Downstairs:

Anyone interested in that big totem pole? It's only $6,000 (not including shipping and handling).

I have some more interesting shots from the town of Skagway. I'm not sure what's going on here, but I'm thinking this is how you renovate in the winter in Skagway. It could be a winter home for the inlaws too, knowing this town:

Then there's this house up on risers. Not sure what's going on there either. Maybe they knew there was going to be a lot of snow this winter, so they were being proactive. I guess they could just be moving too. That happens a lot around here.

We've not been up to much, but we're going to be social tomorrow night and go to the Red Onion Saloon for Trivia Night with our friend Sherry. Then on Sunday we've been invited for Easter dinner at the Corrington's. They are a lively bunch, so I'm looking forward to that.

Speaking of Corrington's, we met up with Sherry and Noah the other day. Noah had to get some creamer for his coffee (yes, that creamer container is full). He likes to carry things.
