Every holiday is a major event in the grocery business! We plan and plan....order and order more to get ready for the stretch run. Sometimes we are fortunate and hit every nail right on the head. Other times...we miss...and belive me the public lets you know real quick where you fell short!
This July 4th was great. We did the business we budgeted...had the right people at the right time...and hit the orders on the $$$$$$$$. I had a smooth week. I have a great group of people at the store I manage...some of the best in my 30 years of trying to do what I do. They don't deserve my strive for perfection each and every day, but they come so close to perfect most days, I wonder why I'm there. I'm a better manager because of them looking over my faults. Wish I didn't have that part of my father running through my veins.
We're on our way to Madison to spend the night with Stacey, Joey, Tripp, and Makinley. Trey and Jennifer need a break from us as well.

Getting Started
Always something new! Thanks to Stacey, the most wonderful daughter in the world, I have started this blog. It's funny, but it was only yesterday that God gave me the thought to start writing a daily journal. Only He truly knows us, but I would like to leave daily thoughts as to what I think about and pray about. Sometimes the things that happen in our daily lives....well, it's hard to express how it makes you feel. Maybe this will help those that love me most and know me best have a better understanding of what makes me tick and click. It's a start...we'll see how it goes.
