I hope you’re sitting down.
Comfy? Not near anything easily spilled by flailing limbs? Good.
Ready yourself!
THE POTATO FARMERS CANCELED!
Weight on shoulders = lifted.
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, a bit of background. Three cheers for it all working out!

Just goes to show you…you can’t trust potato farmers. They are all just a bunch of spuds.
After all the crap those &*^^^%^($%&$^&#^* put you through and then they just up and cancel?? Did they give a reason why?
They probably cancelled because they were so disappointed with your organizational skills, or lack thereof.
The outcome was a positive one, but I think we’ve used it as an example of what NOT to do… kind of like when Maverick performed a split S in dogfighting class.
PS that was meant to be a joke, for those unfamiliar with my dry humor.
TOE, good one!
Deb, they said they’d come by later in the year. I, for one, am relieved that I procrastinated on a confrontational phone call.
Joe, I like your dry humor.
Griping about our organizational skills is legit. We’re getting better every day though, at least on the visitor end of the spectrum. I suspect I will always be somewhat disorganized.
Sometimes you just have to hoe your own row
The PC marketer in me wants to remind everyone to be careful about the names we call our potential visitors on the blog. I’m glad it worked out for our conflicting schedules but I would hate for the potato farmers *not* to come by later in the year because of any insulting entries they might read. Remember it’s revenue people and the Wrens Nest needs revenue. Plus, it’d be great to have a potato farm left in our name one day to go visit in our B’rer Buick and bring home goods for John Randall to fry up!
Good call, Jodi. It’s a shame that I’m not so PC.
However, I assure you that we’ve treated the potato farmers with the utmost respect and have displayed a medium amount of discretion in our blog entries as it relates to this particular situation.
That said, it should be noted that we host several large groups each week, and rarely do we have a problem like this!
The next closest thing is when I got into a flame war with a woman who wanted our storyteller to “surprise” her child’s birthday party by coming out of the woods and pretending like he escaped from a mental ward.
