How All Occasions Do Inform Against Me...
My eConnections edit time yesterday was interrupted by the Grantz family dog, Sadie, jumping through our bedroom window in pursuit of an interloping squirrel. Trips to the emergency veterinary clinic and Menard's ensued. The dog will be fine; her front legs have been sewed up and she's now sleeping off anesthesia. The window is not fine; the double panes AND sash are history. In God's providence, however, we received an exclusive invitation in the mail yesterday (along with everyone else in South Bend) to save 30% on replacement windows.
So... given that I am time pressed today... please enjoy an eConnections newsletter communicated mostly in graphics.
See you tomorrow!
Blessings,
Brian
