That’s a wrap!
First I want to thank a few people.
Allisa Fifield, she has worked for me full time for 22 years.
Michelle Alvarenga, she has worked for me on and off for 24 years.
And my son Otto, who was the inspiration for this entire venture.
These three kept me grounded, laughing, focused, and successful.
Allisa and Michelle are the daughters I never had and Otto is the son that I am so proud to have. I love you all to the moon and back.
And my husband Rich, who made dinner and brownies for us, kept up with the laundry and the housework. I love you.
And finally, all of you folks out there, my customers. Generations of families have come through my doors. I have had the privilege of being a part of your families, schools, and the community. I will hold that very close to my heart.
Thank you for sharing your stories over the last few months. They have meant the world to me.
Now, time to kick back.
I wish all of you peace, joy, and happiness.
Love,
Liz Staples
