...must come to an end.
Kim's resort 'business' has taken a bad turn. The resort has had huge turnover among the personnel that she
deals with. There has always been some
turnover but there were always some holdovers that knew what her business was
and how to accommodate her. There were
a few hiccups here and there but nothing that they weren't willing to remedy
almost immediately.
With these changes, they are changing the way she will be
able to do business. They have told her
she will no longer be able to sell her wares along side her crafts she does
with the guests children. It will
strictly be crafts for the children only.
While she can make a little doing this, the profit always came from the
sales of her wares. This also included
some of my leather work. Without the
sales, there will be many many days it costs more to do business there than any profit. She will stick it out for a while but we are
not optimistic.
But, to use another cliché, when one door closes another
opens. She has an appointment this afternoon
with another resort to provide similar services. They seemed very excited about this as they are gearing up with
some new programs. Hopefully this will
replace her lost income. While we don't
get rich off of her business, it supplements all the extras that my pension
won't cover. It has paid some bills in
the short times, which there have been more of lately than usual. None of her services cost them anything so
it would be a win win. They seemed to
really like that. One draw back is that it is much farther than we would prefer.
She only does this work once a week except for special occasions,
i.e. spring break and conventions. As
good as it's been, there are a lot of times that I wish she was fully
retired. She isn't able to work full
time without some serious difficulty physically, so this has been a God send
for us. I hope it goes well at the
meeting today, but I would really like her home with me too.
She might go crazy if she didn't have this outlet.
Happy Trails.

Sorry to hear it. Hope things fall into place for y'all, either with the new resort or somewhere else.
Thanks for the good words, I'm sure things will work out.
