I hope everyone is having a great Spring Break. I’m still getting caught up on phone calls and emails, but I’ve made sure to get out and enjoy the great weather with my boys. Remember all those Tonka trucks I got for Little Caleb years ago at an estate sale? Joshua is now playing with them when he gets a chance. He also loves riding around in Little Caleb’s battery-powered ATV thing in the photo.

Joshua turned 9 months old last week and he should start walking any day. I’ve been saying that since he was 7 months old, but then he discovered how fast he can get around crawling and I think he took a break from falling on his face multiple times a day trying to walk. Now he will pull himself up on the coffee table and go around and around. If he finds a toy on the coffee table he will grab it with both hands and examine the toy for a while without holding onto anything. Once he gets the confidence to step forward he’ll probably never stop walking. I still laugh at how Little Caleb took his first steps. We were cleaning at our previous home getting it ready to put up for sale and he picked up a scrub brush in one hand and a broom in the other and took off. I had my phone nearby and got almost the whole thing on video. I can’t wait to see how Joshua takes his first steps.

I went to the new Hometown Kountry Marketplace in Maumelle with my mom and the boys and we found all kinds of goodies. My favorite find is this metal dustpan for the Park Hill Furniture Store. I love local advertising items like this. Hometown Kountry will have their grand opening April 6, but they are already open with some great booths.
We don’t have a bunch of sales this weekend probably due to Spring break, but here are the ones I know about:

On Saturday, March 23, we will be selling the following instruments and stage gear which belonged to the legendary Bob Hayes. It will be a ONE DAY ONLY sale at the same location as last week’s house sale. Each item will be priced and available for immediate purchase. We will also be accepting written offers of any amount.
We do not have specific plans for reductions in price. It is possible that John will lower the tag price of various pieces as he sees fit during the afternoon… but will be taking any written offers into consideration when deciding those discounts.
After we have closed for the day, we will communicate all highest offers on any remaining items to the Executor of the Estate. After our client has had time to consider those offers, we will be contacting the appropriate “winners.”
If you have any questions, please contact John at 501-607-4747 – text messages are preferred so that he can keep track of who contacts him about which pieces more effectively. Please help spread the word to all his friends and fans!
