Hectic isn't the word for this week. Deb has been looking for a qualified repairman to get the van ready for provincial certification, now that she owns it. Or maybe getting a different used van. Or not. It's been a scary week of juggling options and costs and pros and cons and we'll be glad when it's all said and done, whatever *it* is.I got a call from a friend who has been battling serious illness for two years. She got her doctors to send her home but she is so exhausted from fighting so long. Hard not to worry about her, though she keeps saying everything is ok. Prayers and angels her way.
And in the midst of it all, getting ready for Christmas, making packages to send to family, goodies to offer for sale this weekend, when we'll be open 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
