ApplesI adore my massage therapist, Cheryl.  I’ve been going to her for about 5 years now and just can’t say enough good about her.  I don’t go extremely often 3 or 4 times a year maximum, but I treasure those sessions.  She’s an all-around great person that I just plain enjoy knowing.  Today I went for an hour session and she tipped me with a bag of apples from her orchard.  I was blessed doubly by today’s visit.  (Cheryl’s also selling her weaving business, should anyone be interested.)

I tend to be a very loyal customer and this is a prime example of why.  Once I find a store, service, etc. that I like I tend to stick with it unless something really dramatic happens.  I try hard to find local businesses that suit my needs and the owners suit my personality.  It’s a wonderful thing when you find one that works.  I was reminded of that when I received a call reminding me it was time to order my local turkey for Thanksgiving.  I was so pleased with the call, that I ordered two (one of the big day and one for later).  Sometimes it takes a little work and a lot of time to find the right match - but honestly its so worth it in the end.
