July 2009 Newsletter

Hello all,
July is upon us and finally the weather is agreeing. It is one of those beautiful summer days in the 70's, with a nece breeze and a blue sky. OK, I wrote that last line in June. But here we are again with the same weather.These are the days I lke to take my stitching to the patio and sit at my table and enjoy the bright sunshine. Of course I have to fit it in with housework, gardening, summer softball games, and parties. It can be hard, but this is truly the time to enjoy all the good things we have een given. Well, as I write this newsletter, Judy is now living in Hudson, Wisconsin. Thank you for all the warm wishes sending her off. Life is leading her in a new and exciting direction. We wish her the best. I would like to introduce our new employee, Tricia Bakke. I have known Trish for 18 years. Some of you have met her before. She has worked an occasional weekend to the store the last few years. Trish does cross-stitch,hardanger,punch needle,rug hooking,quilting,scrap booking,stamping,stained glass work, woodworking, and just about any other craft there is. She will be a great addition. Now that I have been slow to get this newsletterout, lit's get to the information you have been waiting for.
