Chicago is calling- deep dish pizza, beautiful architecture, Lake Michigan, the "L", the Cubbies- they have been invading my sleep lately, especially the pizza. Lexi and I leave on Monday for the Windy City and I can't wait. We will get to visit with Shari on Monday. For those of you who know Shari, leave her a message here and I will make sure I tell her, for those of you who don't- she is a hoot! Many moons ago, Shari was a great customer at the old Shoppe on Neptune. She used to work for us on Sundays too. Miss her, I am happy we will get a chance to hang with her.
Onto the reason we are going to Chicago (besides the pizza). We will be at the Craft and Hobby Association Summer trade show (aka- CHA). Some people say it like a word (think Cha, cha,cha) but I usually use it like an acronym (C-H-A). It doesn't matter how you say it, get ready for product OVERLOAD and very sore feet! I am happy that so many manufacturers have posted many sneak peeks and I feel very prepared to purchase at the show. I have read the blog comments and will do my best to make 'ya happy. I am happy that we will be getting some new product in soon. The UPS man needs to visit a little more often. We are going to do our best to make sure he has job security.
I talked to Lexi yesterday afternoon. I did not think she would be able to get a cell phone connection down in Punta Cana, but she did! She said she is in paradise, but it's like a foreign movie. Very few people speak English and her movie does not have subtitles! Poor Lexi. She will be home Sunday only to turn around and leave again.
Safe travels!! Can't wait to see what you get!!

Hey Becky!
I will let Shari know you said Hi! AND I was nice to you when we went to Dallas. It was the whole rental car thing that threw us over the edge! I won't ever forget that trip!
