Been awhile...

It’s been a busy couple of years with the best of intentions... I was looking back over the last few blogs and see that it really has been a long time since I’ve paid attention to our online presence. I think it is so hard to make, market, sign up for shows, attend shows, do the reports, etc. and keep up with a full time job and family.

It’s my right shoulder and I’m right hand dominant so I’m not looking forward to not being able to do much of anything. I’m hoping I can hunt and peck and get our inventory loaded onto the website at a minimum.
