Change is Good...

For those of you who know me, I am a creature of habit who likes to change. Thus I am a woman of contradiction (of course most women are).

I am the kind of person who loves my morning routine (and does not like it to be interrupted)...yet I like to take a new route to drop Dotty off at school or go to work.

My wardrobe has been basically the same for 20 years...yet I change my hair color on a regular basis.

I eat the same breakfast almost every morning...yet I like to eat different desserts when I go to a restaurant.

I am also not a fan of surprises...yet I love them at the same time. I like to read the end of a book first to see if I will like...yet I did not want to know if my first child was a boy or a girl. I like to have plans for the weekend so I can plan the "when" but I want to be surprised about the "where".

Today I told my staff (Desiree, Joanna, Kayla, and Tiffany) that I was tired of the store being the same. I wanted it to be different. Then I told them they had "free reign" to do whatever. I did say I would have the final say and might ask them to change some things but overall I gave them the freedom to go wild.

Then I left the store for a few hours.

It amazes me how we all look at the same store every day yet each of us sees different possibilities. Now some of the choices the girls made won't be able to last forever in that state but they will be fun for a while.

Change is good. It shakes up the soul and opens the eyes to new ideas and possibilities. I love letting the girls loose to try new things. Although they will tell you I go behind and change things to the way I want them to be I really don't do that as much as they make it sound like I do!

Wow! What a Wine Festival!

Saturday the Pecan Shed had a booth at the 7th Annual Red River Wine Festival. I am pretty sure we have been at all 7 of the RRWF and there is a good reason why...it is so much fun!

The Wine Festival is hosted by the Senior Junior Forum and is always the 3rd Saturday of April every year. It takes place at the J.S. Bridwell Ag Center and it is a great place for everyone to come out and sample wine, taste a variety of beer, eat delicious food, shop and hear some great music.

This year the Pecan Shed took our delicious homemade fudge and our famous fudge dipped strawberries. We also sold little sample size bags of our Milk Chocolate pecans, Dark Chocolate pecans, and our Cheyenne pecans.

I want to thank my entire staff for working so hard and especially the ones who even volunteered to help at the event!

If you did not make it out to the Red River Wine Festival make sure you mark your calendars for next year! Novice as well as expert wine drinkers and all those in between will find something great at this Festival!!!

Pray for Rain...

Farmers are always complaining about rain. We either have too much of it, not enough of it, or it comes at the wrong time.

In this part of the world though we are usually in desperate need for rain and that is truly the case now. We are in a severe drought and we could use rain...lots and lots of rain!

So the next time you bow your head, please remember that the whole area...heck the whole state...needs rain...not just for the farmers but the land itself is thirsty.

Pray for rain!
