This Just In

I should have started writing this blog as soon as I knew my dream was going to come true.  Playing catch-up is going to take some time.  Some things cannot wait.  Unfortunately, I am going to need to jump back and forth when I have thoughts that cannot wait.  Would hate to forget them.
Today the elderly have discovered my store.  I am happy when anyone finds the shop and becomes a happy, regular customer.  I will not turn down ANY cash customer.  That is not to say, I will not suffer from some guilt.  An article appeared in the local newspaper about the shop this week.  That is bringing in new customers, big YEAH, applause, applause.
Now for the downside.  There have been two elderly gentlemen in the shop today.  The first one appeared in good health (until now).  He bought two slices of fudge and asked me to wrap them separately.  I'm sure his plan was to eat one piece now and the rest later.  Within an hour he was back for another LARGER slice.  Come into my web kind sir. This time he did not bother asking to have it cut and wrapped separately.  He is now out there with the fact it is his fudge.  At that moment I think I knew what it must feel like to be a crack dealer and have the customer come back immediately after one use.  Not a great feeling.  Well, it is somewhat of a great feeling.  I own that old man now and all of his exact change!
Next elderly gentlemen pulls up out front in his scooter.  Not the first person to ride their scooter to the shop.  He could barely get up the steps and into the store.  He said he wanted something with low sugar.  He did not mean sugar free.  I am going to guess that guy suffered from diabetes.  Don't you look down on me.  I have to sell to him.  It might be his only joy in life.  He asked for black licorice.  I do not carry it (will order it now).  I mentioned the black jelly beans (more sugar), and SOLD.  Another happy customer.
While I am confessing I might as well admit to the fact I sell fudge on a regular basis to my diabetic, on dialysis, brother.  I deliver it so he does not have to navigate the steps at my store.  Don't you JUDGE me.  I am not selling him the fudge by the pound.  Just a few slices. 
It is just another day in the life of a Candy Lady!
