I apologize....I have been absent.
It has been a busy summer and it has shown NO signs of slowing down anytime soon.
The graduation was fantastic. Tyler gave the closing remarks and sang the Alma Mater and just like that he and Jami were graduates. I did not cry at the ceremony.....but that was only because I had cried all day! :) Good tears though, really!
Since then, my family has been crazy busy trying to get our restaurant open in Palatka. We are putting a Woody's Bar B Que in the old Walt's building. It is a major undertaking and we have all been there 24/7 it seems. Opening Day is slated for August 17, but we are hoping that maybe we can get it together before that.....we will just have to see if we can line everything up before then. My parents and brother have been in the restaurant business for the past few years, having owned a Woody's in Jacksonville....I, however, was only ever there to eat dinner....and I had (notice I say had) no restaurant experience at all.....I am becoming quite the expert!!! haha
Tyler is in Orlando this week auditioning for American Idol.....along with Shelby's best friend Amy.....I am so excited for the both of them. Both are such talented singers....and both will be singing at Shelby's wedding in the fall. They sing today at the arena....their 20 seconds of fame before they find out if they get to move to the next round. Keep your fingers crossed!
Shelby starts her last semester of college next month, Tyler and Jami start their first. Miss Ashlie is somewhere near her last one....so they are all busy! Hunter will be in the 7th grade....
Purse orders are coming in and I am doing my best to keep up with them. I have tons of new fabrics......and actually have some new bags made (fortunately sewing is therapy to me!) one day I hope to have time to load them on the site.....If I get quite a few more made I am hoping to have an Open House in August......of course all of that will depend on the restaurant.....
I will try to keep you informed.....
In the mean time --- Have a great summer!
