JUST SENTIMENTAL NOW UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

Today we can finally announce that we have sold Just Sentimental to our good friends Sherrie and Ron Kinkead. We actually closed on the sale last Tuesday, the 22nd, but didn't want to announce it until we had moved the embroidery machines and everything else that went with the business to their house. It's been an amazing three years for us. We've had some great experiences and met some wonderful people. We can also walk away with great pride having made two businesses successful from the ground up in something neither one of us knew the first thing about before we started.

TURKEY DAY

We enjoyed a restful day watching the 79th Macy's Parade. Dawn started on our Christmas cards, and Paul cooked the dinner. Dawn also spoke to her mother and sister on the telephone. It was just nice to be able to take it easy for a change.

POOL CAGE COMING DOWN

Today our backyard looked like a hurricane had come through. But, thankfully it was man made and was due to a couple of contractors tearing down the old pool cage. It certainly looks odd, and we can't wait for the new one to go up.

DINNER AT GRILLSMITHS WITH JACKIE

Tuesday evening we finally caught up with Jackie Yaques, who was our contact at Cintas until recently when she left for greener pastures. We enjoyed talking over old times and really enjoyed the company. A nice friend, and someone we will definately be staying in touch with.

ART HARVEST AT HIGHLAND PARK

On Sunday we took an hour off from work and had a relaxing stroll around the many stalls of paintings, photographs, sculptures and jewelry at this year's Art Harvest in Dunedin's Highland Park.

GARAGE SALE

Saturday we spent the best part of the day in our garage selling our two bikes, power tools, a couple of book cases, fryer, vacuum cleaner, books, CDs, Records, and countless stuffed bears when our neighbourhood had its annual garage sale.

9th ANNIVERSARY

Today we celebrated the 9th anniversary of the day we met at the top of the Empire State Building by having lunch at the Dunedin Marina Cafe (see picture of Dawn looking out across St Joseph's Sound), and then later on dinner at Umberto's of Long Island.
