Rain storms late this afternoon brought some temporary relief from the oppressive humidity that plagued us from early morning. Not a single customer today, but that gave me time to place some holiday orders for wine-related items and our popular tea towel sets . . . A new group of risque cards is also on the way . . . Alan Peters e-mailed from Palm Springs to offer condolences for the extremely hot weather we have been having. He and his neighbors have been having a cool summer with temps only in the 110 degree range . . . I am sorry for those struggling in this recession (heaven knows, we are struggling too) but it occurs to me that there is one advantage to be noted. There has been a big up-swing in those collecting aluminum cans so perhaps we are recycling more than ever these days . . . Two best buddies got separated last Thursday and they each spent a miserable weekend apart. Teddy, lonely and feeling abandoned, sat in our window looking out for his friend, while a frantic JJ made his dad tear up the house top to bottom in a search for his missing pal. "But Teddy is my very best friend; I can't get any sleep without him," JJ lamented . . . I am happy to report that the two of them were reunited late this afternoon . . . The pottery in the picture is by Bill Campbell if you didn't know . . .
