Too Busy To Know Where The Time Has Gone!

Why is it that when it rains it poors! It just seems like there is always something going on, good or bad. We found out over a week ago that a good friend of my husbands was really sick in Alabama and things were not looking good. Well he passed away last week. Brad worked with Al in New Hampshire a few years ago and really got to know Al and his wife. So they were like family. So it was important that Brad fly to Alabama for the funeral. I was glad he did. I really think he would have regreted not going.

So that left me to run both his business as well as mine this past Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Yes, 4th of July weekend. Fortunately, it wasn’t that busy. So I was able to ease into learning a lot of Brad’s business I had not yet learned. If anything, this trip was a blessing in disguise because now I feel totally comfortable with running his business. So all in all, things went well.

My nephew, Drew, is also here visiting for a month. He arrived last Thursday to find out at the last minute he would have to spend the entire weekend with 3 girls! He is 15 and was a great help this past weekend at the store while I was running both sides! His mom (Brad’s sister) is working at a summer camp for a month. His little brother Eric was attending camp with mom. Since Drew’s dad has a long schedule at the hospital, they figured it would be better if he stay with us while his mom was gone. I think he is having a good time.

Morgan has also been having some issues with going to bed. We think we are getting that back under control. But for the last week and a half we’ve had a wacky sleep schedule! But things are hopefully moving toward getting better.

On a fun note, we went to Crystal Beach on route 30 on Tuesday and enjoyed the nice weather and the lake. Morgan and I enjoyed swimming in the lake, Brad & Drew fished all day and Alice enjoyed relaxing and talking with people at the park. So we had a great relaxing day! Of course we forgot my camera so I don’t have any pictures, but my mom took some so I will see if I can get copies to post here!

On the business side, we’ve been getting a lot of tourist and people from a distance stopping by and checking out our store this summer which is great. Our retreat is now 70% full!! Awesome! There is still room if you want to sign up. You also don’t want to miss our clearance sale on July 19th.

Well I think I’ve rambled enough. I haven’t posted in awhile and just wanted to catch everyone up on things going on. I hope to post more often at this point. Hope everyone had a great July 4th weekend!
