If a tree falls in the yard…

…and no one is home to hear it fall, does it still make a sound? I don’t actually know. All I can say is that I’m glad it didn’t fall two days earlier when we were under it picking berries, and I’m glad I decided to skip berry-picking last night and run out to buy […]

New goodies and a gratuitous kid pic

My UPS guy has been busy lately. Look what’s newly-arrived… I wish I could spend all day tomorrow curled up on the couch popping bon-bons and losing myself in these new items, but I promised myself I would get another batch of orders out the door. Man, I wish everyone could come shopping in my […]

Class reunion

Neil introduced me to LinkedIn a few days ago. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s kind of like MySpace for grown-ups, without the flashy graphics or the fun. It really is geared towards professionals who want to make business connections. I’ve entered all of my pertinent information (what I could remember, anyway… so much […]

Color week and work, work, work!

I just stumbled across this Color Week post, and I thought it was a neat idea. So, here’s my entry for today, which is Red/Pink day: I think that qualifies as “red.” It’s been a busy day around here, computer-work-wise, and I’m not really done yet. I added 14 new items to the store, mostly […]
