As always, life tends to swirl in our lives.  Just when it seems that we're going one direction, another something pops up and requires our attention.  In our case the first major change coming (hopefully in October) is my husband aiming to retire.  I say "aiming" because, like the majority of people in this world, we are not overly endowed financially.  We'll see...

In light of his desire to retire at 62 and the financial aspects that will require, we started a business offline (which then went online, of course).  It sounds so easy in reading that sentence, but by the time we got our permits, permissions and supplies it turned into a rather major project.  We are, however, legal with both the feds and the state, so all is good.

My hubby likes his "happy place" when he gets home from his day job.  That would be his workshop he set up in our basement to hand-pour 100% soy wax candles.  We have, hands down, the best-smelling basement in the neighborhood and probably the entire City of Sheboygan!  Our neighbors love to figure out what scents he's working on as they walk past our open back door.  So, he is busy.

Aside from all that, my body decided it needed another surgical overhaul and I had a nodule removed from my thyroid which also meant that half of my thyroid went the way of "Hazardous Waste".  "No cancer" was the only important words we heard, so it's okay that I wound up with half a thyroid.  As my youngest daughter would say, "It's all good, mom!".  Yes, indeed.

I am, as I write, thinking about how much better my surgical scar looks and how well it's healing.  I was blessed to have an acknowledged expert in such surgery and his work shows the level of skill.  I still, however, think I must look like the victim of a crime who got my throat slit!  "No cancer!"....It's all good.

Somewhere in all of that, I thought maybe WAU was getting kind of lost in the swirling eddy of life, but I was wrong.  I popped in often to use the Keyword research and many more of the tools offered as I made our website.  This is still the best doggone learning site on the web!

We started out selling by word-of-mouth, then decided to set up as vendors at the CR&R Antique and Flea Market at Exit 144 (St. Nazianz & Newton) on I-43 in WI.  We do that on Saturdays and may extend to Sunday if traffic increases.  We keep busy and out of trouble, but now we're doing our best to get our website out there so we can get some internet sales.

Home Lite Candles uses only 100% soy wax, hand-poured by Steve, my hubby, and we use only cotton wicks.  We hope you will come to enjoy the yummy, yummy fragrances we sell. 

It's good to be back - now off to figure out how to pay for some medications I need and check out the medical bills.........ewwwww
