Livin' the Dream

That's what I always say when people ask "How are you?". Sometimes I mean it, sometimes I don't, but I figure ya gotta fake it til you make it!
I haven't been blogging the past few days because we are feverishly trying to get ready for the Home and Garden Show. Everyone is going crazy, but it's starting to shape up. We will have two booths this year - one in the corral and one in the main hall.
I will be speaking on the garden stage 6 times over the weekend so go to the Home and Garden Show website and check out the times, and come down and see me. I have also been asked to do some TV spots on Global, CityTV and CBC. I am so thankful to be asked, and the exposure for Spruce will be fabulous.
It's times like these, when everything is chaotic, that you realize what a great group of people we have working here. Pat and Kathie, along with our designer, Tim, have been working long and hard to get things in shape. Geoff, the store manager, should be losing his mind, but he just continues to get it done! Brenda and Sara are behind the scenes getting the admin side of things under control so that we can run the store remotely from the show. Meanwhile, Bev and Michelle, along with some of part-time guys, will hold the fort down back at the store.
This is the kick-off to our season - its hard to believe, but here we go again, into another year of good times at Spruce!
See ya at the Show!!!
