Happy Fourth of July!

The holiday is associated with hot dogs and fireworks, but does anyone stop to ponder the true significance of it?  Freedom, such a powerful thing, and so often taken for granted.  As a person who has lived a rather charmed life, I try so hard not to take for granted all the sacrifices those before me have made – the patriots, the abolitionists, the suffragists and civil rights leaders leaders; to them I say thanks.  

With the extensive travel I have done throughout the US, South America, Asia and Europe, it is always great to have the freedom to experience other cultures, and equally as refreshing to return to the freedoms of home.

From the freedom of owning my own business and making my own way to the customers who freely choose to shop with us, I am greatful and salute each of you!
