Happy New Year! Let us see just what 2010 will bring...All we can hope for...Good Health, Happiness, Prosperity, and Love. Lots and Lots of Love. We know that we will have some tragedy, for every year brings some of that. Let's pray the good will out weight the bad. Mostly, let's hope no one gets hurt.

Today we pack for our trip over to Ft.Lauderdale for the Las Olas Blvd. Art Festival. We have completed a goodly amount of inventory, finished all of the cutting, grinding and fitting of the Merrick panel, and closed the books on three months this week. We really need to do some selling, as we have been off for two weeks. We have a week free at the end of the month, but I think we may need to fill it, as we are currently playing "catch-up" on inventory, sales, and commissions (10 on the board, plus repairs damaged during shipping). It seems sometimes, as if we are just chasing our tail(s).

We awoke to a tropical rain this morning. It is warm and coming in from the west, off of the Gulf. The plants are really loving it! At times it is torrential. This makes it difficult to load the truck, but somehow, it has to be done. We have a cold front coming in behind the rain. It will go into the low 40's tonight, with highs this weekend in the mid to upper 60's. We hope this keeps people off of the beaches and the water, and on Los Olas Blvd.!
