Happy Sunday, Rural Sprout Readers,
You’ve reached Tracey; I’m sorry I can’t come to the phone right now. I’m out of town for a quick birthday getaway. Leave a message after the beep, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
Answering
machines, now there’s a bit of technology I haven’t thought about in quite some time.
You’ll have to forgive me for keeping it short this week. It’s been ages since I’ve had the opportunity to do something on my own to celebrate another trip around the sun. So, I decided to throw some clothes in my backpack and get out of town for a few days. But I’ll be back with our regular newsletter next Sunday.
Besides, we had so many great new articles this week; I wanted to share them with you.
I’m just going to jump right in and highlight a few of the pieces that were posted this week. As always, head on over to www.ruralsprout.com to see all the new posts we put up for you.
