Just this afternoon I had a suprise visit from two ladies...(I started off assuming they where lost tourist)...usually I dont accept non appointment callers as it means I have to put another appoinment off or I get waaayyy behind on my "chores" but they apologized so nicely and explained that they had intended to look me up & call the next day, but they had been walking by and just saw my office sign, so decided to come up and say hello, totally understood that I was busy and would come back the next day...of course I made time for some one that considerate (2 comments)

But I have to say that my favorite grocery bag is this one! I just received it at the Pac Rim Conference and I (0 comments)
