parmenter street: Magical Marvelous Blueberry Pie
- 08/15/10 10:21 AM
Those Michigan Blue berries made their way to Wisconsin this week. Two pints for $3.00. You know when produce is at its best, it is also the cheapest. We had the annual picnic for the Stark Company Middleton last week and because I have spoiled them in the past, they expect a pie from me for the potluck.

A Thank You Note It was not easy to set the price and have to bring some dollars to the closing table. I showed you why with lots of data and let you see for yourself. Congratulations are in order!

This week I atteded as class on the Meyers-Briggs Personality Type Indicatoror MBTI. http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/ We had filled out our rather extensive profiles ahead of time and the class explained the concepts, the various types (there are 16 combinations) and most importantly how to best communicate across type. The facilitator's first exercise was for each of us to write our name and then to write it again using our non-dominant hand. She asked us how we felt as we wrote it the 2nd way.
