Attack Of The Snow Bunnies!

Well, this kind of weather brings out the magical 'snow bunnies' all over town. They are popping up all over the place :) It's cold in Colon but it's Christmas every day in the magic capital of the world! Stay warm wherever you are!

Winter Wonderland In The Magic Capital

As you can see our rabbit 'mascot' is inside where it is nice and warm. It's been snowing here - that first magical snow of the season. It is light and fluffy and reminds me of a snow globe. Looking out over the village with all of the Christmas decorations hung it certainly makes one stop and reminesce of Christmas' past. All of the family and friends who aren't with us anymore. But, I also look to the future as well and to all of the wonderful friendships that will come with 2011. I hope you are taking some time to enjoy the holiday season with friends and family. It is a very special time indeed.

Past, Present & Future

This picture was taken this past summer. Where has the year gone? So much has happened. We moved the store across the street which was a major undertaking to say the least. But thanks to a lot of good friends and our employees who pitched in the transition was about as smooth as one could hope for.

So much to be grateful for. A customer said to me the other day "You are working too much !" I responded - "This isn't work! I am having the time of my life. " This is everything I ever dreamed of and then some.

I have so many people to thank - Cheryl and the kids have always been there and supported me even when I am sure they thought I was a little over the edge :)

To all of our employees - they have made this year a 'special' one for me. They have stood by me for the past 8 years and their allegiance to me and this company never wavered. It is their craftsmanship that makes this company look good. I couldn't have done it without them. As we make plans to expand our Colon location and venture into new cities in 2011 I sit back and look all that is around me. I am not only inspired but envision great things not only for this company but for Colon as well. Once again, I see a village that is thriving and taking advantage of it's existence as THE ONE AND ONLY Magic Capital Of The World! Stay tuned to these blogs and to our newest website http://www.colonmichigan.org/ which will uncover the fascinating stories of this unique town and it's history.

So, amid the hustle and bustle of the season please take a moment to look at your spouse, family and friends - give them a big smile :) - we are all in this together. Let's make each and every day a positive one! Happy Holidays!
