If you've been by our office today you probably wondered about the buzz of activity in our parking lot. We've been fortunate to have been able to rent the front of our lot to two different fireworks companies. If today is any indication they'll be bringing traffic to the store. We can't wait. Be sure to stop in and say hello if you buy fireworks.
TOday was such a busy day. We had 4 juvenile offenders and one teen volunteer in today. They helped process the donations that people brought in and fixed things so the tent companies could set up the fireworks stands. From a money making standpoint we didn't do too well. It was a little overcast. While we can sure use the rain it ends our business every time. Fortunately, we don't worry about money too much though. Not as long as we are able to pay the rent and utilities anyway.
The third weekend of the month is between paydays for many people. It's also a time when people hit us up for help with bills - usually utilities. Today was no exception. In the midst of everything going on a woman stopped by who needed a kind word and some reassurance. These are two things we love to give out and we offer them generously. She left feeling better than when she came in. And that, my dear blog reader, is what makes everything we do worth the effort.
Talk to you next time,
Gayle
