The good and the bad....

The good:

Remember back a few weeks ago I told you that my family was working on some real big changes and I had to wait to tell you about it? Well, we opened our own used car lot! It has been in the works for about a year now. Looking for the right spot, clearing everything with the state and city, getting the money. We officially open on May 1st. I have been there cleaning and scrubbing every surface in the building. The guys that were there for the past year didn't know what a vacuum cleaner even looked like! We are headed back up this morning for a full day of painting walls.

The Bad:

I am going to have to take a break from this web site for awhile. With the new business needing all my spare time right now, I will run myself ragged if I don't take a short break. I will be back, and I will be posting pictures of the new place when it is presentable. I know you all understand, this is our chance to get back to where we were before the housing market went in to the toilet.

So...if you happen to be looking for a good used car, and honest salesmen, in a family friendly car dealership......

Living Green Expo this Weekend!

It's that time of year again. Time for the Living Green Expo at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds this weekend! I LOVE this free expo. You can always find something new that you haven't seen done before. Try new organic foods, and make you think differently about the little things that can make a huge difference. I plan on being there on Sunday, so if you see me, be sure to say HI.

The annual Living Green Expo is a free, family-friendly event that inspires people to lead healthier and more sustainable lives.
