Angels Among Us
Today didn’t get off to a bad start. I only hit the snooze button once. I was showered and ready for work early and the sun was shining. My work day started out quite slow but eventually the flow of customers began to pick up and before long I found myself having some rather interesting…

An Appliance With An Attitude
There is really no way to ever know just exactly what your day will bring. Sometimes I begin my day by dropping everything I attempt to pick up. Sometimes I oversleep. Sometimes I hit the snooze button several times and sometimes I actually get up before the alarm goes off. Yes, that has actually happened.…

Waiting On A Woman
I’m not sure why, but for some reason I have never been terribly fond of doing things until I absolutely need to. Some would call this procrastination. I call it a method in which to live by. This characteristic of my personality drives Don bananas. Last Friday we were planning to head south for the…

The Work Shoe Dilemma
It was late last fall. My toenails were painted a nice shade of sparkling beige but as the paint began to wear away from the big toe on my left foot, I noticed something a bit strange. It looked as if it was turning black. A more thorough investigation revealed that something had apparently fallen…

Crafty Counselor At Your Service
Today’s episode of “The Crafty Counselor” differs greatly from yesterday. Today I had a visit with a customer about fleece off the bolt versus fleece remnant prices and before I knew it she was telling me everyone in her family suffers from arthritis. I told her I had it too and about then I slipped…

It All Began With A Pink Bottle Of Paint
Every day when I head off to work I know I’m going to face at least one person that will make an attempt to gain access to the hidden counselor inside me. Each and every one of them finds their own unique way of hooking my attention and reeling me in. Yesterday that customer was…

10,000 A Day
I have a personality sort of like the weather. It seems it’s always changing and hopefully not terribly predictable except to one guy! I have my sunny moments and my rainy days. I have calm moments and if you ask Don he would most likely tell you I can be a bit breezy at times!…

Listening With One Ear
Isn’t it funny how an object or scent or even a sound can bring back a memory? Tonight I was sitting on the couch after work and I caught sight of the tuft of pheasant feathers Don hung above the hutch and it took me back to the Sunday hunting trip he and I took…

His Aim Was Spot On
I had a nose bleed the other day and for some reason it made me think of two separate memories. How strange is that? I know, it’s strange but the memories are sort of funny….sort of…..okay, maybe for an innocent bystander. The first one was when my big sister became a contestant in a spelling…

The “Drop Off” Plan
My sister and I have come up with lots of great weight loss ideas together. We’ve tried lots of different things but the best idea to date was back in 2005 when we decided to give Weight Watchers a whirl. The program was easy to follow and we both enjoyed admirable results. We’ve both slipped…
