Life is what happens while you are busy making plans

So the plan was to get Robert steady employment then get my photocard business going. My parents (who have been divorced about 30 years) intervened, each in their own way


Mom bought most of the rest of the supplies I needed to start printing photocards; and now I will be focusing on getting the photocard business up and running. I've been researching junk shops/antique stores for people I can contact to carry my cards either on consignment or wholesale. Currently I am working on getting a marketing letter drafted to these stores, going with the 80/20 rule I figure I need to send out letters to at least 20 stores to get one sale/consignment. This will be a slow process, but I hope in the end it will be worth it.

Robert worked with my dad this week down at Dad's place in Rockport, Tx. This is the first time they have spent any time together with a project to work on and nobody else to talk to. I was a little apprehensive, but from what we are hearing, it appears that all went well. We are still trying to get Robert steadily employed, but this was a good thing.

August (our dog) is still a puppy, and the cats are still not thrilled with the dog in the house, but they have decided to let the dog live (for the time being.)

And that wraps up this one ... more later.
