It's all in the Soup !

I have spent the last week trying to prepare the greatest vegetable Soup with beef for my family Saturday and I have come with my plan and my ingredient list.
Planning up something for the future is very difficult in anything we do. I am planning something for a friend and a business venture at the same time. Planning everything at this point is extremely hard hard to focus on all stages. I am getting each project done and trying to plan each project future in the same time planning each departments success. Team work is very important to everything that is going on. Racing promotions, advertising, contest rules and just making sure that each retail locations understand each level of promotions for the next year. Plan for store employees to explain the product properly to the customers. It is like a great batch of soup you just can not get things done too fast you just might forget something. Then your soup is not complete, then you have to step back and see what you have missed in your ingredient list to fix the problem. So lets make the soup right the first time. Sometimes in life we have to step back and look at what we are missing in our ingredient list in our life. I know everyone can fix what they are missing that is the joy of planning something great.

What a cold last week !

I had to put this wonderful picture of the lake we live by. Just to remember how nice and warm the summers are here around Pike Lake. Renee and my son took this great picture in their big hike up the trail to the look out tower. We do spend many sumer days on this great lake. Last week at -39 degrees freaked me out and my son was off school for two days last week, because the school district said it was too cold. Renee looked at me on Thursday last week and said I love you Jim and that warmed me up. At that time of the day my wife said "I love you Jim" it was -24 degrees out side. "Spring where are you" I say, we miss you in Wisconsin.
