Christmas Shopping has BEGUN!

WOW!  Folks have started their on-line shopping EARLY this year!   Judging from the amount of orders we have pouring in, as compared to last year, folks are really planning early when it comes to on-line shopping!     We have a HUGE pile of orders to go out already tomorrow and have a boatload more to do on Monday.  I'm still waiting for my boxes to come in for the hot dog forks and marshmallow trees, which are scheduled to come in tomorrow morning.  I'm also supposed to get my crystal sticks and cones tomorrow, so that I can get those orders out as well.  

Not only do I have a boatload of orders to get out tomorrow, and sticks and cones to bag and pack up, but I have to find time to take Mitzi to Neillsville between 12:30 and 3 p.m. tomorrow to get her fixed.    The vet wanted about $300 to do the dirty deed, so I called the Clark County Humane Society and they only want $40!  WOWWWWWWWWWWWW  Can't beat that price!  

Oh, I forgot to mention what happened the other day!   The "Alternative" High School here in Abbostford offers classes on everything from scrapbooking to picture taking.   One of the teachers at the Alternative School asked me if I'd be interested in presenting a class on Dutch Oven Cooking!    WOW!!!!!!!!!!  I was shocked and amazed and scared and thrilled all at once!  

Of course, I'm going to do it, as folks have said time and again I should do exactly that!  While I don't have any experience in teaching, I DO talk about Dutch oven cooking all the time to our customers and friends in campgrounds when we're out there.     I'm still trying to figure out what to do and how to do it, and it's going to take some time to figure it all out, but I think this is a GREAT thing to do to help promote our store and the joys of Dutch oven cooking!  

Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend and didn't get stuck in any airports or bad weather!      

God Bless!
