An afterthought...

I just realized the other day

that with my mother, aka "Granny",

working in the store, my daughter, Jessie,

at the Garden Shop, and my other daughter,

Hannah, at The Vintage Rental Co,

we have three generations working together!

How great is that?

(And we all still like each other!)
