OT: Appalachian Valley Natural Products is Moving Again

[Guest guest]

Hey Butch,

Congratulations on growing so much you have to move yet again. Next

move maybe just to buy the town. That " old Southern Charm " is

really working. Of course, the quality of your products has much to

do with it also, plus your knowledge and wit.

 

Now Butch, you know you can sell your business, close your business

of just cut way way back and come back home and do all the fishing

you want. I really think you are having lots of fun. LOL

Yo Butch:

 

Congratulations first on your big move. Second, I think I'll move to

Friendsville!!!! Sounds so very peaceful.

 

I want to say thanks a bunch for all your informative emails. I printed out

the OT on the young mother. I had tears falling before I finished. It

makes a person really think (at least for me) how true it is. After my

daughter had her first baby (girl) she said, " Will she ever know how much I

love her? " My reply was, " not until she has her own. " When something is

totally out of reach is when one learns how to appreciate the memories. I

try to think of the 'good' memories versus the 'bad'.

 

Thanks again, Butch, you are very special.

 

Blessings and love,

Smilin Effie
