$52,306.36

 

That figure is my total sales for being open for only 7 months - and only 4 days a week.

Everyone has their own ideas of why I closed the doors after such a short time - and they can think whatever they want - but monetarily, The Hillbilly Debutante Mercantile and Pie Shoppe was a financial success.

Anyway....moving on to what's next.

Right now, I am still writing, doing a podcast (actually, it's a 'facebook live'), and picking up where I left off on my influencing business.) I've also been booked for a few speaking and emceeing events. 

But mostly, I am enjoying the peace and tranquility of life here on The Little House on the Prairie.

It's been a long, but fairly mild winter and this house is so very cozy.

I continue to do a lot of baking/cooking.

If it's above 50 degrees I hang the laundry on the line.

I go for long walks on our mostly-deserted road.

I read a lot at night.

We've added a new animal to the mix.

Lillian and Willow welcomed  tolerate a new rottweiler puppy, Grant - although at 10 months Grant is approximately 90 pounds. However, he doesn't know that and continues to sit in my lap and gives me a bewildered look as to why I don't carry him around, anymore.

I remain heartbroken about the shoppe - 

but I am also enjoying the peace and tranquility of home.

Thank you for being on this journey with me....and I believe the best is yet to come.
