puma52 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hey Trappeur...I just had to mention this...last night my husband and I was watching Home Hunters and they were looking for lakefront property in the Georgia area and the people who were hunting houses on this episode LOVES to go to Mercier Orchards in Georgia....we hope this brings lots of folks their way and more buyers for your beautiful candles. The orchard looks like a wonderful place...these folks went on a hayride there and picked blackberries. We wish they would have shown the store and more of what the orchards offered, but they didn't...but you got some free advertising for your account...yea! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 OMG Puma! Where have you been? I've missed you! Oh thankyou for posting this. Means a lot to me! Ever since I put up this post back in 2015 when i landed this account, this account has been non stop going...I am so lucky...I guess blessed as some would say. From the first day when I got that first big order from them I've been bringing them minimum 75 candles every week. They don't even know I'm coming cause I don't know 1/2 the time myself. It's a dream account for these past years. They pay up front b/4 I even have them made....now how often does a store do that. It's really an honor system we have going between us. The woman who owns the orchard is sad to say has had cancer for many years and she goes for chemo treatment every week but she is so upbeat and just so nice and so very young. The Merciers Orchard is a family owned business, very religious....just good down to earth family people. They are famous for their apple pies which they ship all over the country. One day I was chatting with 1 of the workers there and she told me one day she got an order for 1 apple pie from California and this guy paid for the pie and paid over 100.00 to ship 1 apple pie to him...lol.....They also make their own wines and hard cider...Great shop and account. So great to hear from you Puma!!!! Trappeur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So great to hear from you Puma!!!! Trappeur Oh gracious friend...where do I begin Trappeur? It has been a LONG 7 months. My sister had to have the major back surgery w/the rods running the full length of her back w/32 screws..I stayed the whole week in the hospital with her..boy am I glad..there are just not enough nurses and nurses aides to go around and i feel blessed to have been with her the whole week in the hospital to help..but man..what a week! shew! Then we have been helping her out since then...at first she could do nothing and now she is able to do some things, but still in pretty major pain at times..Dr said it could take a year to heal well. THEN MY husband had back surgery this spring and me and the kids have had to do ALL the bending over stuff that my husband has not been able to do. I had to wash him in the shower, do lawn work, mow, do all the planting of stuff...just anything that requires bending...I will tell you what girl, I really appreciate him more now than ever...you don't realize what you had until the help is gone and you have to do it and DO I FEEL LUCKY to not have to deal with this back stuff...at least not now...I have herniated , bulging discs...but so far I am able to deal with it fine. My husband has been off work 3 months and is going to the Dr this week on Thursday. My husband doesn't even know if he will be able to return to his work (maintenance). So a lot of stuff up in the air...taking it one day at a time. Anyhow back to the feel good stuff........I got SO EXCITED last night when I seen your account being mentioned!! I told my husband...oh my gosh, one of my buddies on Craftserver has a wonderful account with these people! That was awesome to see....and it sounds like an absolute dream account Trappeur! Those folks sound like angels to me....good, good people which we love to work for!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! The apple pies sound delicious...yummm!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
