Thank You

Special Thank You to my family to whom I am forever grateful for their support, encouragement, and patience: to Ernie, my husband for 47 years, who deserves to be sainted for patience and silence; to Tony, my first born (oldest and wisest) who has more talent than anyone I have ever known, who has questioned my sanity and is now a believer and a really great supporter; to John, my second son, who selected the name of my corporation; to Julie, my only daughter; whose pride in me fills my heart with humility (she has helped me market my product and sees miles ahead of where I am today); to David, my youngest, who taught me computer 101, built my computer, gave me confidence in my endeavor, picked me up when I was down, helped load and unload what I could not, organized my supply room, and continues to take care of all my technical needs; to my daughter-in-law Shelly, who worked side by side with me, baked cookies, created the "Dog Bone Christmas Wreath", and painted my display units; to Denise, my daughter-in-law, whose smile pales the Mona Lisa's (she has given me such great ideas, listens to me babble, is my biggest cheerleader, and has three dogs and a partridge in a pear tree); to Chuck, my son-in-law, who gives such great business advice and never charges me; to my grandchildren, John Michael, Andrew, Natalie, and Christian, to whom I give a big kiss and hug for your look of amazement as you have watched my idea grow; for John Michael's and Christian's willingness to taste all the treats and enjoy eating them, I thank you, for Natalie's "Silly Gramma," I thank you, for Andrew's wonderful drawing of Oscar, that he drew when he was six years old that is now my logo, I thank you!!

I can't end this thank you list without mentioning my Dad. He said, "When you grow up and get old I hope you never have to say: I could have! I should have! Why didn't I?" Thanks Grampa Tony!!
