A Man Was Buried and Coco's Had A Busy Day

There are many reasons business can be good or bad.  If it rains, no kids on bikes.  Farmer's Market means more business.  Never would have imagined a man's funeral would cause me to be busy.  First a couple of ladies came in.  They were having lunch at The Mansion and heard about my place, they came to check it out.  Next a few kids way over dressed for the sweet shop came in.  Looked like city kids to me.  They bought quite a bit of candy.  I asked why they were all dressed up.......not a good question.  They were burying their Poppop.  Very nice kids.  They were concerned about their Grandma.  They bought her a cake pop with hugs and kisses on it in sprinkles.  They were debating if they should get her a coffee.  I told them to just take her a cup.  After they left more people from the funeral started to trickle in.  They saw the other kids with candy bags and decided to come in.  They were all out of towners.  All of them bought quite a bit. 
So very strange that it caused my shop to become busy.
Today the fudge finally came.  The last few days have been exhausting.  So many deliveries means that I needed to carry boxes, move things around.  My storage area is small.  I need to be very organized.  Hard to do with the constant mess of empty boxes to be recycled.  I am over boxes!
Today was a very busy day too.  Wish I had sales like this everyday!!  No set reason for the business.  Just random people coming in.  The fudge arrived.  That always helps with the sales.  Purchased the fudge in cake pan size instead of loaf.  That should help me keep from running out.  At least I hope so.
Guess who was in to visit me today?  You are right.  She loves the chocolate covered caramels.  She must be so lonely.  Little bit crazy too.
One Grandma brought 7 grand kids in the shop today.  She said each child could get $2.00 worth of candy.  Those kids did not mess around.  Five of the kids figured out how to spend exactly $2.00.  The other two were too young.  Grandma ripped the two young kids off.  They did not know how little she spent on them. 
Meeting so many people.  Enjoying so many children.  I so love the little ones.  Especially, my two cuties.  My big kid grandchild is always busy now.  He might be outgrowing me.  Ugh!!
Good day in the candy world.  Hope tomorrow is more of the same.
