hubby's dream to establish his own business

My husband has been doing his line of work for 25 years now. He has gone through countless trainings and now is the very best he can be at the top of his position with all the specialized training you can get. Sometimes, he wonders where he goes from here. I know he seeks to improve in his line of work as the technology changes.

I know that he has a desire to open his own business someday. Well as of lately, that has become a real issue for a lot of people due to the bad economy. What I’m thinking we need to do if we really want to succeed at that dream, is to apply for a whole bunch of Small Business Grants. You never know, we might get lucky.

I think if he can present his business plan and how it can benefit the community that we probably might get lucky. There are so many businesses starting up these days and failing due to much overhead and business expense. If he can get a grant, the chances of succeeding are so much better. We will have to get busy and start up paper work. If he never tries, he will never know, so let’s pray for a bit of luck and an opportunity to be a success story in the big world of business.

a wild afternoon incident

Let me tell you a wild story:

As I was walking to school to pick up my little girl, I was kind of aware that there was a car behind me. I was kind of wondering why it had not passed me yet. Well, maybe whoever the driver was driving slow since it is within a school zone, I thought.

At the intersection, it stopped in front of me and a Hispanic driver spoke to me in Spanish. I replied, "Sorry, I don't speak Spanish," and proceeded with my walk. Then he added, "Do you want a ride?" I was like, "NO, THANK YOU!" and almost ran in my agitation. Good Lord, I can't believe that that sleazy looking man is trying to pick me within the school zone in broad daylight! It is soooo disgusting!

I called hubby and told him about the incident; and he said that I could have gotten the license plates of the said car so we could report it to the police. He said that this kind of thing is illegal here in the USA especially it is within the school zone. My goodness! Oh well, I didn't know that but now, I know better. Sheesh, what an afternoon!
