The whole time we were searching and redoing the 'best business plan" notions, fabrics, thread, needles, patterns, books, etc kept coming in to GR's house. My partner GR is such an optimist that she kept telling us things will turn around, keep building and buying so we will be ready when the store opens. My husband made 13 sets of shelving to hold the hundreds of bolts of fabric.  We purchased items at auctions, just waiting for the money. When November comes around, GR is a Texas Snow Bird and she and Bill flew the coup. When the bills started coming in, these were sent to her address of course as that was where the stuff was shipped, she was gone. I kept getting phone calls from Checkers saying we were past due, so I'd scramble for money from my savings, when that was gone GR did send some money, but then more bills were over due.  I had the Manager of Checkers call me and agree to accept everything back except the fabric, but I did not have access to the merchandise so I had to keep paying when they called. My house and garage was so full of stuff for the shop, I could not have family over for the holidays for over a year.
