Re: Final Days at The Keeping Room
Ha ! Well, there is always someone who can do it better, perhaps with the advent of. A.I. Technology an enterprising person will come along and take it to the next level. We are in a new world with that technology and I would wager in a few years you wil be able to say to Siri or Alexis “redecorate my room using the 2029 Hancock and Moore Catalog” and in a couple of minutes you will have it on your computer screen. That is the future.
Tomorrow is the store’s last day, and I’m looking forward to puttering about the house and catching up on chores. The only bitter part was giving away $50,000 worth of furniture to Churches and Charities this week. I had hoped for a sell through of stock. Oh, well.
It’s been a great run, but time to stop. My wife has ALS which is robbing her of her mobility and she needs me at home, and i’m undergoing monthly cancer treatments. We are going to try to cram a little more living into the next few months while we still can, including one last trip to Italy in early August.
Thank you everyone for the support and patronage through the years. The Keeping Room has always been “The Little Engine That Could” and we made to the end……and the top of the hill!
