I will be on the road again this weekend. Actually, I will be on the road the next three weekends – and each of the three shows will be in new venues. This weekend (September 25-26), the show is in Anderson, South Carolina (just down the road from the old location in...

Technology has changed so much in my lifetime.  The first black and white TV we had when I was a kid didn’t even have UHF (and didn’t need it, since there were no UHF stations in our area).  I can remember going to my grandparents’ house on Sunday nights in...

Stopped at a traffic light yesterday morning, and this little critter decided to take a rest stop on my windshield.  Little did he know that it would be nearly a mile before I would stop again – and at 50 mph he was hanging on for dear life.  I pulled over...

I have been sitting on this story for almost three months, and now it’s time to share it.  Our friend Harriet Swindell used to live near here – several years ago she and her husband Michael moved near St. Louis.  So now I see her one June weekend a year when...

I never saw the store on Friday.  Instead, we spent the morning jockeying for unloading position behind the Sharonville Convention Center – we were greeted by an amazing sight . . . This is the view from the loading dock – for those of you familiar with this...

When I came into the store on Thursday, I came in the back door and around the corner, and walked straight into Libby Friel’s “baby romper” make it/take it.  She was doing half-hour shifts and everything seemed to be moving smoothly, but I started to wonder when...

I made two trips to the store on Wednesday. The first was about lunchtime, and the place was rocking. This is not an unusual sight during the Stamping Gala . . . Stacey Richardson (and family) were busy demoing Sweet Stamps’ new Shapes die inks (at least 60 colors –...

This was the first thing I saw when I came around the corner this afternoon.  Might not mean much to you, but those of us on the stamp show circuit know that this means the Sweet Stamps caravan is in town . . . Sure enough, I found Stacey Richardson inside doing...
