I answered the phone today, "Cabin Country Store, can I help you?"  "Receiving, please." There was a definite pause on my side as I was contemplating how to answer. "I'm receiving, " I said, "actually I'm everything." The lady quickly responded with,"chief cook and bottle washer, eh?" "Yes," I said,"I do everything, even windows."

We had a good laugh at the fact that she doesn't do windows and that I am it. I've thought a lot about what is required to run a retail shop. How one really does have to be a little of everything- a planner, an organizer, a financial genius ( haven't got that one down yet), graphic artist, decorator, computer wizard (still working on that, too), a visionary, a people person, house keeper, sales person, human resources, and the complaint department. It's amazing I'm still sane.

Fortunately, I really am not the only one to do everything. I have had so much help over the last nine years we have been in business. So many family members and friends have often bailed me out and stepped in to cover as I needed them. I am very grateful. That's why we are still here. Still in business. Waiting for you to come and sit a spell and share some special time with us here at The Cabin.
