By The End Of The First Six Months Of My Retirement I Was Looking For Things To Do. My Closets And Cabinets Were Organized And I Was Helping With Church Activities. I Found That I Missed Being With People During The Day. One Day I Was In A Gift Shop That Is Located In The Small Town Close To Our Home. She Was Just Making A Help Wanted Poster For The Window. She Said That She Needed Someone A Couple Days A Week To Help Organize And Dust As Well As Unpack Shipments. During The Busy Time Of The Year It Would Be Three Days During The Week. I Asked Her If This Was Any Weekends Or Evening. She Said No It Would Be From Nine In The Morning Until Three In The Afternoon. I Told Her That I Was Very Interested. She Was Happy To Have Me And We Agreed That I Would Work On Tuesdays And Fridays. This Way I Could Help Straighten Up And Restock After The Busy Days Of The Weekend And Make Sure That Everything Was In Place For The Weekend On Fridays. She Said That I Could Start The Next Day Because She Had A New Shipment In. The Next Day I Arrived Ready To Help On Pack. When I Went Into The Back Room I Saw A Newborn Baby Doll Lying On The Floor. When I First Walked In I Thought It Was A Real Baby. The Newborn Baby Doll Was Part Of The Shipment That I Was To Help Organize. When The Owner Came Into The Back And Saw Me Looking At The Newborn Baby Doll She Asked Me What I Thought. I Told Her That At First I Was Fooled Into Thinking It Was Real. She Showed Me A Stroller That She Wanted Me To Use To Set Up A Display Featuring The Newborn Baby Doll. The Doll Was Weighted To Feel Like A Real Baby. The Clothes Were Actual Newborn Outfits. She Bought Three Of The Dolls And They All Sold In The First Week. This Is A Big Seller For People To Give At Baby Showers As Well As Gifts For Little Girls. I Love The Job At The Gift Shop Because I Get To See The Merchandise Before Anyone Else And I Have Extra Spending Money To Spend Each Month. It Also Gets Me Interacting With People.
