I found an auctioneer for a property sale in the morning.  The house was built in the late 1800′s and is located in the historical district of town.  It hasn’t changed owners since the 1960′s.  When the last owner bought it, he had come home from the war and bought the house for his bride.  There they lived until both passed away this past year within six months of each other.

The house needs a lot of work, so that coupled with the fact that we’re expecting rain all day had me worried.  When our auctioneer walked into my office earlier I asked if the rain would be bad for our auction.  He said, “The best sales come in bad weather!”

O.o

Apparently, rainy day auctions are often the best because buyers come in droves because they don’t think anyone else will show up.  I hope our auctioneer is right.   I’m crossing my fingers and hoping for rain Saturday … at least until the auction ends.
