Hello everyone! This week we're celebrating Cinco de Mayo with fun and fiesta! As in previous years, Cinco de Mayo has been celebrated with songs and dances, great-tasting food, and hospitality that no matter where you live, you'll want to be part of the festivities. Who doesn't? Burritos, Enchiladas, Tacos, and other delicious Mexican dishes are what it's all about. How about a Margarita drink for good measure! Count us in! But wait...We're still in the midst of a pandemic!  We know! Having a party is not in everyone's mind right now. But that doesn't mean you can't celebrate Cinco...

Today, after days of dredging and intense tugging efforts by smaller boats we learned that ship has been freed! Yay!    Why does that matter? Similar cargo ships that go through the Suez Canal have to be re-routed causing long delays. Adding insult to an already strained supply chain, a number of shipping ports from East to the West coast have also experienced long backlogs now that many businesses have opened up!    So, if you've shopped with us in the past...

You’ve seen them waiting outside your local store, churches and schools all around the country. Rain or shine, these girls work hard to sell their boxes of cookies - all for a great cause! If you guessed they're the Girl Scouts of America, you’re spot on! On March 12, we’re celebrating the National Girl Scout Day and pay homage to the late Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low from Savannah, Georgia who in 1912 gathered a small troop of 18 girls from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds to establish the Girl Scouts of the USA. The girl-led group has become a powerhouse...
