Been a while since I posted any thing here. (sigh) The Quest went _very_ well this year and it took us all an entire week to recover. :) Everyone on the staff worked overtime! Since I finished tidying up after that event, I've been somewhat coasting at the store ... finishing up the Winter '10 newsletter, getting it to the printer and up on our website ... trying to plan for inventory taking at the end of this year ... thinking about when to go see my Mom since I decided not to travel over Thanksgiving (I was just tooooo tired to be trusted to drive a day each way) ...
Monday the 23rd was my birthday and I spent the day very happily indeed. My husband took me out to lunch at a local eatery (Mimi's Cafe in Snowden Overlook). I had a chicken salad, apple waldorf sandwich (on croissant) and Skip had a Reuben. My favorite caricature on the wall there shows an iconic kitchen and wait staff gathered and greeting you with a big 'Bonjour, Ya'll!" LOL Then we went to Home Depot and ordered/bought a new Maytag dishwasher (has steam cleaning!:) and clothes dryer ... the appliances in our house are mostly 20+ years old and are dying off. :P Started reading one of the books my beloved daughter sent me -- '1491', the Americas before Columbus arrived (very interesting).
Today the shop is closed but SKip and I are here working -- me on a class sign, snail mailing a few newsletters, and hanging class samples ... Skip on upgrading our computers all to OSX Leopard and book keeping chores. :P
I think we will have a quiet Thanksgiving tomorrow, just the three of us. I hope to get the table cleaned off so we can eat properly. :)
