I took a cute picture of Nala last night while Ryan was at work – texted it to him because I knew he would enjoy it, and I planned to use it on the blog today . . . Nala was spayed on Tuesday and is recovering nicely – and doesn’t seem terribly angry with me (I am the...

While I was doing “video practice” on Wednesday, Ginger Deaton told me about a Halloween card she had made.  Sounded interesting, so I told her to e-mail some pictures – even though it was going to be “after the fact” since Halloween had already passed.  And...

I spent the lunch hour today meeting with Pat Adams, Chris Mach and Lisa Nelson – all three teach classes at our store.  Gary had a idea recently and he wanted us to see if it is workable – when we have classes at the store, are you folks in the hinterlands...
