Scammer Attack!

In addition to being incredibly busy the last few weeks, I’ve been feeling under attack from persons unknown. It started a few weeks ago, when, out of the blue, I got a call from… myself.

I’ve been building this business for 8 and a half years to get it to this point. If you were to askContinue reading “Starting in Business”

Remembering Moving to Boise

Tonight we had dinner guests- our neighbors from the first house we lived in when we moved to Boise, Larry and Toni. It was good to have them over, and we enjoyed a great dinner and some games afterwards. As they were leaving, we talked a little about orchids and keeping them alive and blooming.Continue reading “Remembering Moving to Boise”
