This year has been hell.  My husband has had two heart attacks,  colon cancer, chemo - he was overdosed, then hemorrhaged and lost half his blood, then a brain blood clot and he is the nursing home for the second time.  Trouble walking, talking and thinking. And we are still open for business! Tuesday - Saturday 11:00 am to 5:00 pm!

So far the 2014 year has been a challenge.  I had a stroke and was hospitalized for a week.  I was lucky my balance was the main thing effected.  When the weather let's me, the store is open it's regular hours.  I am going to be facing a surgery but will put if off until I can't put if off any longer.
