The question is, will there be a renaissance at the end of the tunnel?

I don't know but, considering the middle or dark ages lasted for 1000 years or almost as old as Mart is, it could be awhile before we find out!

Oh yes, maintaining an online store is way cheaper and easier. Christie should go for an online store Poweredessays for her collections and shut down all stores.

Hope you're feeling better by now Mart!  Don't know if you have even gotten 1/2 the rain we have (which is a whole lot!  We have been water logged.)

So far we have had a flood at least every two weeks !!  Had tons of big tomatoes but with the water in the ground and the sunshine recently they are cooking on the vine !!  Not good !!
