We're Almost There!

YES!! we made it! Here it is, December 1st,2009 which means we only have 31 days left of this year!! And I'm sure there are a few of you out there that will raise your hand and say, "yes this year hasn't quite been a picnic in the park"! But even in trying times, and I've had my share as I'm sure everyone else has as well, it's wonderful for me to be able to remember the great things about this year. And there have been many. I have a new grandbaby Morgan, Riley turned three in August, my family is all healthy and have a roof over our heads, wonderful friends, and a great business that I love with great customers, so I'm not complaining. I'm just looking forward to a fresh start, meaning January 1st, 2010, bring it on!!And what else will happen in about 31 days from today? It's time for Country Roads biggest & best sale of the year, "I'd Rather Shop Than Watch Football Sale"! On January 1st, for six hours only, from 10am to 4pm, Country Roads will have a huge, big ass sale! If you have shopped this sale before, you know what I'm talking about, it's awesome. make sure there is gas in the car. . . or saddle up the mule with some extra empty bags. . . it will be a happy, joyous day for all! Help us kick out 09 and bring in a wonderful brand new beginning with 2010!

Thank You!!

 
Today was our 3rd annual New Year's Day, "I'd Rather Shop Than Watch Football Sale". It's a six hour sale that we've done really well at the past couple of years. So well, in fact, those of us that work rarely have a chance to sit down, let alone have lunch. At Country Roads we are all related one way or another and most of us are young, with the exception of me, the old gramma ;0} Pictured above from left to right is Carol (in her sassy pink Christmas outfit), Yesi (Carol's sister), Pam, Hannah (who is Pam's youngest sister who did an outstanding job with little or no training today),and two of my own kids, Katie and Bryce! I took the picture so I didn't have to be in it, but forced everyone else to do it. Sorry, but sometimes it works out being the "boss lady". Working at Country Roads is "different" than a regular job and it doesn't really feel like work when you're surrounded by those you love. And "thank you" to our customers that continue to shop with us and share so many nice comments. Please know how much we all appreciated your kind words. Our customers are pretty awesome and thank you to all of you that brought in purses for the Orange YWCA's "My Sister Joanie's Purse Project". Your donations are appreciated! And lastly, "thank you" to ALL of my kids. You guys did a great job today, I love you all!

Oh, how could I forget. . .Cindy, Gay, and Stacey( three of our CR dealers) worked all day to help us out. It was great to have that "extra" help. We all appreciated it, thank you!!
