Re: another MG sale

I gave the spreadsheet file to the MG that likes to do the tallying, so she
can plug in the #s for what is left.  The formulas will do the rest.  I
haven't heard from her yet.  But generally speaking, as I mentioned in my
other post, it looks like we did well.  I'll go over there tomorrow and do a
new inventory and rearrange the pots.  Then maybe I'll do something at home.
