Hello all!

Well it’s the end of my first full day here in Big Bear, and my first day working in the shop. I’m not going to lie – I’m tired! However, as far as first days go, I think we got a lot accomplished.

The first thing I got to do was check out the local farmer’s market. I can’t wait to go back next week! I’m already reworking my budget in my head so I can get a taste of the fresh fruits and veggies I saw today.

Working in the store today, I was able to learn a bit about what a small business owner has to take care of. There were balances to reconcile, displays to rearrange, and new items to check in and stock. Should I ever be so fortunate to have my own business in the future, I believe these are all good things for me to experience!

I think the biggest obstacle is making time for all the project ideas everyone is coming up with. I’d love to accomplish as much as I can while I am here. The next six weeks look like they are going to be busy!

Until tomorrow –

Erin
