Long Christmas Break

By looking at our blog you’d think things were a bit quiet here at Key Lime Crops. They were, but not any more! Meredith and I (Susan) took the holidays off. It was a choice between money and memories. We chose memories. For me the incentive was not melting down with holiday stress. I did things different this year. My oldest daughter is a senior, and will be leaving home in less than nine months. It makes you stop and think about priorities. Some of you are in a stage of life that you focus on all the firsts…first step, first tooth, first day of kindergarten. I’m in the stage where I think more about lasts…last Christmas before heading to college, last time sledding in the snow with my daughter, last time painting the walls together. Taking the holidays off was a good decision.

As for Meredith, she got an early Christmas present from her husband. He gave her his office. For the first time she has a scrap space/office of her own! But that meant painting, organizing, moving, sorting, etc.—all during the holiday season. And with Meredith’s warehouse of scrap supplies that was no small task! (Teasing her in public—that’s not very nice is it?!) I’ll get her to post a picture of her new space. It’s very Key Lime! I’d love to see this room in person, wouldn’t you? But now, it’s 2009 and we are back in full gear. We’re a little behind schedule, but we’ve got big plans and big changes in store. We think you’ll love them. In fact, with a fresh new year it’d be a great time to host a fresh new crop! What are you waiting for? It’s time to get the party started!!
