    Default These tough days...

    I have orders to fill and will be working on them as I can. Last month was my broken kiln, this month I am helping take care of a terminally ill aunt. Traveling is involved, death will be soon, and I just can't say for sure when my current orders will go out. But please be patient again and I will get them made and shipped within the next two weeks, I am hoping. Thanks very much!

    I guess I am being tested. Now my husband is very ill and in the hospital. But I can't spend all day at the hospital so I will be making cones as I have time to at home. And my aunt still clings to life in Baltimore. Please be patient with me and I will fill all these orders as soon as possible. Thanks!

    Barb, don't worry about mine. I only wanted it to see who's who in my tank. I'm in no hurry AT ALL.
    Jennie,

    Thank you all for your kind words. Hans, I may need to sit by your big display tank for awhile one of these days. Thanks for the offer. I am off to the hospital now to visit my husband, they think he has Hepatitis.

    Very very thoughtful of you to think of this given the family needs. WOW.
    I am saying send my cone the last. Do not worry about it. My fish breeding is not important given what you have in hand. Put that as the last thing.. take care of family first. Good Luck. Cheers

    When it rains, it pours. My best regards to you and your loved ones. Take care of yourself in this situation--if you fall out from stress, you are no good to them. Sleep and take our vitaminC and B vitamins for stress, LOL!!!
