My wife Susan and I enjoy weekend shopping excursions to some favorite haunts—antique shops, flea markets, etc. We also like scouring business supply places for more items that could help keep order in our business.
A few weeks ago we went to an Office Max to pick up some purple highlighters—a hard item to find in bulk, we discovered. But, our daughter-in-law Jennifer needed them, it seemed.
