New Products in Late May



Hello Friends,

  Below you will find a list of new products that have recently come into the store. This is something we have done in the past but it's been almost a year since our last update. Many of you are aware that I had several heart attacks and open heart surgery last summer. I thank all of you for your prayers and get well wishes. It has been a longer road back than I would have thought but I'm about 90% now, working towards 100%. My staff and family did a great job of filling in for me at work but our News Letter had to be suspended till we could devote time to it again. What your reading is our first attempt to get back on track.

 Many have asked when we will have our next sale in the parking lot. If the weather cooperates that sale will be next Saturday, June 4th 9AM to 4PM. I will look at the weather forecast on Wednesday and decide then if we will go ahead with the sale. We will send another news letter at that time with more info about the sale.

 I hope you enjoy the weekend.

Charlie and Crew
