Spring has arrived

Spring has finally arrived in Indiana. One of my favorite spring activities is tromping through the woods looking for mushrooms. So far this year I've done a lot more tromping then finding but in my over zealousness I started a week too early. It feels so nice to be outdoors after spending the past few weeks locked away in my office working on our first printed wholesale catalog. I'm hoping to send it to the printer next week.

Earlier this week I attended a seminar on blogging and twitter. I'm having trouble getting the hang of it all but I'll keep trying.

I've been working less hours this week because my daughter is visiting from Michigan. Today marks her seventh week as an unemployed attorney. I find it surprising that so many law firms are affected by the economy and laying off. At least she is already established, I can't imagine what it is like for the hundreds of students graduating and trying to find employment. So, if anyone hears of an opening for an attorney in Grand Rapids don't be shy about speaking up.

I'm an optimist, so I feel its just a matter of time before things become more settled in the economy.

My summer project is to design and put into production new centerpiece kits and hopefully some new how to videos. It often takes weeks to put a new design into kits and production. Designing is the easy part.

I hope you all get an opportunity to enjoy this day. We are expecting a sunny unseasonably warm day. I think I hear the mushrooms popping out of the ground already.
