Jacquie Kirby in the neighborhood today showing properties to some prospective buyers . . . JJ decided the store got "dirty" during his absence so he (with Uncle Bob's help) Windex-ed the jewelry cases . . . Sudden renewed interest in our wooden utensils. Have sold several in the past few days. Interesting story here. Stan and Sue Jennings of Thornton, W. Va., were both coal miners out of a job when they married. They opened a woodworking studio in 1990 and coached by knowledgeable relatives began manufacturing wooden utensils for the kitchen. They became so proficient that they have been named among the top 200 traditional craftsmen in the U.S. Spoons, scoops, spreaders, tea tweezers and flippers are just a few of the items on offer. . .
