August – blank page
September – blank page
Now, midway through October I’m finding a balance in the new
order of life. So, we’ll pick up where
we left off.
I started work in the administrative side of beautiful local
vineyard in August, and that’s been fun.
What a lot there is to learn about wine?
I thought all you had to do was like it and drink it. It’s a great place. The young folks that run it are energetic and
passionate about their business, and it’s refreshing. And the lovely couple that owns the vineyard are
hands on and engaged as well. Also
refreshing. For my part, it gives me a peace of mind that
is hard to get in these difficult economic times . . .LOL. (I LOL because I think I sounded like a
politician there)
At EarthWorks, Clarinne
helped us out by taking over the perch for me for a bit and then we welcomed
Ciara to the crew in September. We think she’s a keeper. Dewey can’t stop singing her praise, although
at first he was very leery to hire another “youngster”. Well, she’s exceeding our expectations and hasn’t
been caught texting in the store room with a store full of people once (ya’ll remember that story and that
former employee, right?) Stop by and say
hello to her during the week –but don’t forget to visit me on nights and weekends!
Dewey is doing great too, making folks homes pretty during
the day and taking over the perch from Ciara most evenings.
Our artists – WOW.
After a slow, sleepy summer they have been showing up with fall and
winter stock that you just won’t believe until you see it. Word to the wise – do your holiday shopping
early, and don’t hesitate when you see that one “just right” piece.
It’s nice to be back in touch. Now that I’ve found my groove with my new
life I really am going to try hard to keep all of this communication up!
And now, I’m off to see if Dewey has a new chapter of his
book done! (And I hear Erin is close to finishing the Lucian saga - woot!)
