Good morning from a peach free zone. Peach free cuz we sold out yesterday....YAY us! So we have the day off, a Sunday off....wow....haven't had one since May. Guess our awesome customers are fearing the fact that the end of the season is coming. Many thanks to our fantastic customers. We so enjoy their "peach" stories. Like my friend Michele, she contacted me last week for more peaches.....stating that she had run out the day before and dreamt about them that night. And in her words, "I need peaches, now". OR The tour bus that stopped two weeks ago. Filled with a group of wonderful Chinese peeps who were excited to see Georgia Peaches. Something they have heard much about but never experienced. So, after many photos ops, they purchased a few cases and went on their merry way. OR The wonderful, sweet, soft spoken lady that quietly purchased one case of peaches (25 pounds) per week. Of course, we assumed she did so, like soooo many others to can or freeze. But after 7-9 weeks of purchases, she finally told us that she is battling cancer. And that her doctor wants her to have several smoothies per day using lots of peaches. He wants her to eat tons of peaches to help her fight and heal the cancer. Wow....who knew! So you see, like tennis....our peach stand is a journey too! God Bless our customers and thank you!
Well, the planning has begun......the COMEBACK! After much thought, emotion and conversations, Natalie has decided not to "go out" on an injury. I for one am just happy for a decision and to be done with the limbo time. So, the basic plan is for her to come home on September 8th, train a couple of weeks and to head to Charleston for a 10K. For now, Natalie will only play doubles, then at some point next year will decide on singles. Hopefully, she will be able to find a solid partner and be able to get into the tourney. She doesn't have a ranking, we will be hoping and praying for wild cards to get her going quick.
This morning my phone rang early, it was Natalie. Her first words, "hey, I just had a life changing experience".
My response, "what was that?".
Natalie: "I just took a Soul Cycling class".
Sherry: <<laughing>>
Natalie: "For real, it was awesome. But the attendees are crazy and I'm serious bout that"
Sherry: <<laughing>>
The moral to the story......don't ask if they are going to turn the lights on for the class......don't drop your water bottle during the first song......peeps take their cycle class very, very seriously. Natalie will talk 100 miles an hour after the class, Adrenalin. LOL....that's my gal!
Happy to say Nat is feeling much better. Although her meds ran out Thursday, she seems to be getting over it. Much to her credit she has continued to work and work out. Happy tho that she also took three hour naps, her body needed it. She found out that life goes on even when you are sick....in the real world of employment.
Well, back to business card designing, tour planning and giggling at our Soul Cyclist. Until next time, Love and Blessings......Sherry!
