Hello Friends and Happy
“What Would You Do” Wednesday!
Do you remember the last time Powerball reached record levels?
Do you remember this post when it was 1/2 Billion dollars?
I would probably pass out, fall down, bump my head and end up with amnesia never knowing I won – lol!
What you would you do with $400 Million Dollars?
The jackpot is now an estimated $425Million which will only increase as the day progresses!
Even if you don’t win, you can be winner in knowing that some of the proceeds are helping to fund schools and Senior Centers in your state, but remember, “You Gotta Be In It To Win It!
Good luck & have a fantabulous day – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!
Chasing the Dream Entrepreneurship Camp sponsored by The Money School of Delaware provided youngsters between the ages of 9-13, an opportunity to learn the basics of starting a business. Last Thursday they were given the tools and a venue to showcase what they had learned.
A miniature Marketplace was set up in Rodney Square in Wilmington where the campers had an opportunity to sell their products, which included body scrubs, hand crafted jewelry, sunglasses, candy, plants, lemonade, popcorn, metal sculptures even hourly math tutoring sessions.
These young entrepreneurs obviously also learned another very important lesson, the value of customer satisfaction. They greeted each passerby with a smile and eagerly answered questions about their products.
There was a heavy downpour on and off during the day but that did not stop people from coming out to support. There was a steady stream of customers as well as WDEL Radio personality, Amy Cherry and a 6ABC News cameraman.
I was truly impressed with not only the products these entrepreneurs had created, but how each of their personalities and positive attitudes showed brightly despite the dark clouds looming overhead.
Kudos to The Money School of Delaware for supporting the youth of today with their futures of tomorrow.

World’s Longest Yard Sale

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday!
Here we are again, the 1st Saturday of the month so you know where to find me – set up at Dutch Country Farmers Market in Middletown. I am still trying to purge household items, clothing, books, shoes anything I don’t need in order to make a few extra dollars and leave less to pack or donate when we decide to downsize.
As in most states you’ll find community yard sales, but did you know that the longest yard sale starts in North Addison, Michigan and goes through to Gadsen, Alabama? It is 690 miles long and people stake out their front yards along Hwy 127 for 4 days to sell new and used items!
According to the 127sale.com website, the yard sale officially starts the first Thursday in August and runs through to the following Sunday but this year it started on the 1st. People travel from the North, South, East and West some make it an annual event renting RV’s and camping out year after year. “An exchange of cultures with a common goal; to look, buy and sale!”
Can you imagine taking a week’s vacation to go to a Yard Sale? Oh well, I’ll just stick with my little space in the parking lot on the first Saturday of the month from April to November!
Flea Markets are fun because you never know what you’ll find!
