[DREAMS]

I recently visited your shop for the first time. The "Open" sign was the only clue with the business sign burried in snow. However, your directions are helpful especially since you are reclused in a residential neighborhood setback from the main road.

Although I did not get to meet Darcy, I did observe a gal busy in the Kitchen. I enjoyed the welcome of a familiar face and smile who was with Donna for the past 8 years. There were many good choices and finally selected the Carot Cake. I must admit it was as good and possibly better than past experience. If Donna is working so many hours in a week, she deserves a world of appraise struggling to make so many people happy with her effort and services. Who said working for yourself was the best choice?
Hopefully, she can acquire more help to reduce the load and enjoy life once again as well as enjoying her business.

Ignore such terrible rumors Darcy. You are very smart for bringing the truth and answers to the forefront in a public and professional manner to confirm your current goals. Quite frankly, if you do the cooking or others follow your recipe and produce the same results, what business is it of anyone. It's the final product that you deliver to the customer that matter's. A good manager of any business has the proper people performing the necessary job or functions to complete the task, not deep in the middle of the soup pile working and trying to manage a business!

Best of Luck Darcy and keep up the good work. Do take some time off before you are sick in bed or develop serious health issues!
