Hello everyone, sorry to be so long in getting around to this. We are now finally settled in to our new home in Republic, Eastern WA, but due to the primitive technology over here we are now totally on dial-up. After our trip to the UK to see the new grandbaby, we will try to get on satellite internet. We still have plans to get the store up and running, but there is a lot to do so I'm not sure we will get it up and going by end of summer let alone July as initially planned. I have heard from here that the store will do good, it is just getting the money together to do the remodel of the garage to transform it. When we sold our house in Ferndale we sold it to a couple on an FHA loan. The closing costs we used up in the sale were to go toward fixing up the store. The good that came from helping a young couple get started dampered any hopes of starting the store right away. Keep sending us your good thoughts and positive energy that we can get the store up and running soon. Still have hopes for the end of summer 2007 but if we have to wait till spring again, so be it. We will update this again in July. Thanks everyone for all your support. Allan & Cindy Milne.
