mORE THOUGHTS ON OUR 44TH ANNIVERSARY

YEARS AGO, AND I AM NOT SURE WHEN THE FANTASY CAME TO ME.....PROBABLY SOMEWHERE IN THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF OWNIG GRANNYS, I VISUALIZED THIS GIANT STORE....WHERE, LIKE A DEPARTMENT STORE, THNGS WERE ARRANGED ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY ARE....AND THE TIME PERIOD THAT THEY CAME FROM. I REMEMBER EVEN VISUALIZING ANTIQUE STOVES, AND SINKS, AND REFRIGERATORS(VINTAGE) AND AN ART GALLERY......AND DIFFERT AREAS AND FLOORS FOR DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD.. iT WAS REALLY A FANTASY....AND NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD COME TO PASS.
i REALLY DIDNT THINK IT WOULD BE ECONOMICALLY FEASABLE... IN THOSE DAYS, I WAS STILL ONLY EARNING ABOUT 150 A WEEK AS A TEACHER... AND DEPARTMENT SIZE STORE WAS OUR OF THE QUESTION...I EVEN JOKED ABOUT AN ELEVATOR....AND ONCE, i FOUND A SIGN...A STAINLESS STEEL SIGN THAT SAID "ELEVATOR" AND FOR FUN...I ALWAYS KEPT IT,...WOULD NEVER SELL IT,JOKINGLY I WOULD SAY"sOMEDAY THIS WILL HANG OVER MY ELEVATOR"
AND TODAY, THIS SIGN, HANGS OVER MY ELEVATOR...THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR...INSTALLED TO KEEP THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NJ....HAPPY....FOR THE ADA ACT...TO BE COMPLIENT THAT HANDICAPPED PEOPLE CANTAKE THE ELEVATOR TO THE 2ND AND THIRD FLOORS....
SO MY FANTASY DID COME TRUE. nOW i AM WAITING ALSO FOR THE FANTASY OF MAKING A BUNCH OF MONEY TO COME TRUE......INSTEAD OF KEEPING THE LANDLORD AND THE ELECTRIC COMPANY...AND INSURANCE COMPANIES HAPPY.
