I want to thank everyone who helped me last year to decide to continue the dream on. I tryed really hard. Put my heart into it......The new building was great...But ppl just do not have the money here to shop. So tomorrow morning in my paper it starts , The end of the dream, The finally sale. I will go out with a smile on my face. Thank each customer...but the dream is over.........Ty to (((Kathy and DEc and Nowhertorun,)))) who have listened to me about this, SO here goes folks ...............LAst years post........

The Dream
The dream has been mine since I can remember.
Was my Parents and Grandparents dream too.
I worked really hard to get it, did it after they died.
to make them complete.Put their picture high on a shelf.
So I could see if they were happy and proud.
Really stupid of me, like they knew what I was doing.
The store had a good run, was full of people.
One whole wall of pictures of customers I have.
Put my heart and soul into it, my daughter did too.
The pictures will have to come down, packed my
Parents picture away.
My friends , my customers, the people who became
a part of our lives, have been coming to say good-bye.
Was so lucky to have my dream, to have my daughter
help make it what it was............was a
blessing.......
helpless, scared, lost, cry, not sure what
I will do....
So many memories fill that store....My kids and I put
it together................When the sign
comes down......
And I lock the door for the last
time......just another postum..

TY everyone............Remember there are always dreams
Oh heck I am sad as heck...........
My mom passed on the 4 of feb, kinda of ironic this goes down the same time

Muffy, I am sorry you are losing your store. I don't think there is much I can say to make your loss any less...I hope you take this the right way--I am glad you pursued and fulfilled your dream--in some ways it is coming to an end--what will your next dream be? Of course you need time to mourn the loss of this one, but don't give up on your next dream--it is just around the corner--waiting for you.

Sweet ((((((((((((( muffy )))))))))))))))

How hard you and your family worked to go for the dream. You succeeded my friend...you had your store. You did the best you could to keep it going. I'm sure your mom and dad and grands are very very proud of you for what you accomplished. Sometimes things are beyond our control and we have to change in order to survive.

I'm so sorry you are having to close your place that means so very much to you.

Sending you strength and love my friend....I posted this last year     "my dream" I tryed my best but its over

Muffy I'm sorry. Anyway you can switch to an Internet store, keep it alive a bit longer or gain more monies, etc. so you can try locally again later?

You are in my thoughts and prayers today my friend. We're all here to help lift you when you need it, no matter what that bottom line is, you are a wonderful sheep who gives her all. Those numbers will NOT reflect the real you.....they will only reflect the economy, something you have no control over hon.

Blessings to you sweety I posted this last year     "my dream" I tryed my best but its over

The money is not related to the dream. The dream is/was a good dream and can still provide more than money (and maybe later, money :-) Do not judge you or the dream by the secular money.

truth:
It was never the numbers. It was me trying to work myself to death
I worked about 56 hours a week. every week.
The numbers were the books. The account who is well as good as a shrink. Looked at me over his glasses and just said what are you doing?
I really could not answer him.....so as I sat there alone......papers all over....I knew as I knew before it was done......It was never about the money....except that the numbers showed what the store did....not me....i know this does not make a whole lot of sense....unless you know me.................
About 10 minutes before it was all done....I kinda felt free........Which means I am now free to move on with my life......
As i said unless you know me really well this does not make alot of sense.......Do not feel sad.......as this has settled alot...
thank you for all your replys
I care about all of you I posted this last year     "my dream" I tryed my best but its over I posted this last year     "my dream" I tryed my best but its over I posted this last year     "my dream" I tryed my best but its over
