Wow how the time flies. I had no clue it's been so long since I blogged. Apologies. I really am trying to do this at least once a week...

Anyway...

As I write this Fred is at the vet awaiting surgery. He wasn't too happy to be there - as the vet's assistant was leading him away with a blue rope around his neck (I think it was actually one of those special nooses cowboys use for roping calves and that isn't surprising since the theme of Spruce Grove - where the vet is - apparently is "country")

The other weirdness about the place, at least today, is that every single other dog there was a sheltie. You haven't lived until you've spent time in a waiting room with a bunch of hopped-up collies.

At any rate, I'll keep you posted as to the results of the surgery.

It is very strange to be here at the store without Fred.

In other news...

We just got in a large number of wooden boxes, many carved with pentacles and various floral motifs and sized to fit the average deck of tarot cards. Also we have received for the first time this year stick incense holders made of glass. And a number of small gifty type items too numerous to mention (also, I haven't had a chance to dig to the bottom of the box and I ordered the stuff so long ago I forget what's in there so it's a little like Christmas)...

The book ordering is (finally!) back onto a proper schedule. Look for more new titles as I will be adding to our collection again...

Events of note:

And finally, we have AuKeeRa Rayne's schedule pinned down. She will be coming to the store from June 26 to June 29th.

I encourage everyone to come down and meet AukeeRa. She's a fascinating person with some really great insights.
