from your far-flung food correspondent: Richard Frisbie

Many of you noticed my absence over the last week or so. First it was a major retail holiday and I was busy selling my books --

Then I gave my book store (Booktrader) away and moved (am in the process of moving!) my Publishing Company (Hope Farm Press)  and web store to a smaller (read that more economical) location.

Free To Good Home

So - I miss you - thanks for the kind words of support and your tolerance of my absence. I'll return soon.

My new location will have web service and a phone line soon. I'm writing this before I unplug and pack it in from this location of 19 years. (I'm finding so much stuff!)

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

(I'd rather be in Mexico!)

I was on vacation this past week myself so I was not here to notice your absence but wow you sure were busy. Good luck with everything.

I hope the new location works out well for you.
Wow, didn't know all this. I wish you the best in your new location.

You GAVE away your store?

My goodness, Richard.

I wasn't around much either, but now am slowly easing back into Gather and trying to re-connect with my friends.
Good luck Richard!

So what exactly are you left with for responsibilities? Are you now operating online? And tell me more about this publishing company. Will be in the market soon for a new publisher.....

Creating a vacuum! New and marvelous opportunities will come rushing in. Good for you!

I'm glad you are now getting a chance to move forward, no matter what you have had to leave behind. Forward is good.
Here's to a prosperous 2009 for us all!
