How wonderful are my friends? Take Rachel, for example. She called me out of the blue this week and asked if I would allow her to interview me and blog about it. Why yes, Rachel…that would be lovely! Thank you for asking!
The interview focuses mainly on the sale of my bath and body products business, Mountain Girl Organics. We had so much fun with this! I am thinking you will enjoy it as well, and I am sure you are wanting to know more about the contest…
It’s a piece of cake. Well, more like a bar of soap. And a bag of malted milk balls. And maybe some honey mustard pretzels…yum. Where was I? Oh, yes.
All you have to do is comment on my blog (feel free to comment on whatever post you are drawn to here), then visit Rachel at www.lostintheattic.typepad.com and leave a comment on her post featuring yours truly and the sale of MGO.
This will give you not one, but two chances at winning a $25 gift certificate for Mountain Man Fruit & Nut Co. in Evergreen Colorado…yum…contest starts NOW and ends next Friday (4/16/10)…ready, set, go!

“LEISURE”
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
