Thanksgiving

Its Thanksgiving time and even with a slower economy and the slower sharpening season approaching, it's time to give thanks. God has blessed us this year with a new grandaughter and the prospects of another next year. All our family is in good health and get to see each other almost everyday since we work together and go to church together. My mother is 93 and is still in reasonable health.

As far as business, it has been strong. I am thankful we are in the beauty industry and not in trucking or real estate or construction work. I am so thank for our customers who not only buy from us but have become our friends and extended family over the years. Thank you specially Tim for Gene's birthday present (he'll be be 54 on Dec 5). He hasn't opened it yet, but I am sure it's unique. Mystie has a birthday on the 1st and Carissa later this month, so December is birthday month.

Our booth location has changed to a better one at Bronner in February. We are in the center of the room. I am also thankful to the Bronner Brothers Show and the Premiere Show which have helped put our business on the map along with our website. I am also thankful to the platform artists and educators who use, love and promote our shears. There are too many to name, but you know who you are, so thank you.
