As covered in the last post, Ernie and Lorna are mostly retiring from the antique business. So yesterday evening we had a dinner for them at Billy's and we all enjoyed ourselves recounting stories and generally having a very good time with food and drink. We didn't want Lorna to ever run out of jewelry (although I think we all know that will never happen!) so we took up a collection for her ..... of our junk jewelry and presented it to her in one of her trademark makeup cases. We then finished up with a delicious chocolate cake.
Ernie will continue to sell coins and Lorna will continue to sell jewelry, but on a smaller scale, so they will still have a presence in the store and a reason to come in and visit with us.
Here are some more pictures from the party:
