TBW Daily Diary

I am in deep doo-doo with a couple of my customers. Just learned that the company has had a little trouble with its cranberry soap and it won't be available for Christmas. Maybe our patrons will settle for the Forest Pine scent instead. ($2 per bar.) At least I can report that the cranberry tea arrived and bags have been tucked away for those of you who called us earlier . . . The new Campbell pottery has also arrived. Some very pretty pieces though we lost a huge urn in the shipping. Bill has promised to replace that as soon as possible . . . Some of you were out and about during your Veterans' Day vacation. Thanks for stopping by . . . My father was in WWII and was seriously injured in the battle for Metz, France. He never complained about the constant pain and serious limp that resulted but he constantly complained that he never got onto German soil. "Just a few miles further and I would have been there" . . . We still have copies of David Hoffman's book of his father's letters home from the Continent during the conflict. $19.95 . . .
