But so worth it if you can do it!

This is so true, and so hard if you were brought up in a loose-knit family.

There's little like close-nit communities when you need support or want to get something accomplished!

I love the idea of a community – and the fact of you are smart you can create your own to help you in business!

Thanks,
Laura

Paula, I think we all need to appreciate local businesses and create relationships with them. Even if the business closes, those small business owners may need a contact and you could be that contact. Think of the fable of the Lion and the Mouse, they may come back and help you out in the future.

Mother Nature, thanks for that info. I read an article a while back that talked about who most people would be tipping and why. I thought it interesting that many of them that were surveyed were tipping professionals that I would never ever consider tipping. I think these tips are great, thank you for sharing.

Well said.

I live in a small town with a nice downtown shopping district near a major metropolitan area. The smaller shops are continually churning: some close, some open. It’s my hope that our local population will start to appreciate the nature of our small shops and come to cultivate relationships similar to the types of which you speak.

I was reading in Family Circle magazine this morning and there was an article on Holiday Bonuses that I thought you would find interesting. Here is a portion of it: “Planning on recognizing a teacher or coach during the holidays? Ask your kid to make a special card or bake cookies. The gift will be more meaningful than one that came from mom. It’s hard to know how much to tip when times are tight. Giving thanks without going broke with these etiquette guidelines. (1) It’s ok to tip less than usual with the low economy. (2) You can express your gratitude with a home-made gift like crafts or cookies instead of cash. (3) Decide who gets a tip and who doesn’t by creating a budget and prioritizing whose services mean the most to you. (4) If you tip regularly, a holiday tip could be something simple like flowers or a scented candle.”

It is nice to say Thank You to those who serve you during the holiday season but don’t go over budget or go into debt to do it.

And last night, you know where you could find us

I lived in that town too Mom, and the people hadn’t changed. There were still some that didn’t like me just because of your parents and vice versa.

I had thought about sending a card with thanks to the Garcias wait staff. They never fail to impress.
