August in the Ozarks was hot, hot, hot! Jojo and I got out and about very little other than a late afternoon/early evening walk. But we did start planning some fall outings. In October we will venture down to Arkansas again to the War Eagle Crafts weekend. We'll use that time to plot and plan our new venture; but more on that in a bit. I think we will also make a trek to Lake of the Ozarks for a little overnighter and perhaps on a 2 nighter to Hannibal to visit the artist gallery of Ayers Pottery. As some of you know, I have a partial set of his dishes and wouldn't mind adding a couple more pieces.
But for now, until it cools off, we are sitting here at home. Jojo experienced her first carwash. Needless to say, she was not amused. She was fine during the soaping down, but when the pressurized water hit, I think she thought it was a terrible storm!

As I posted a while back, our venture of selling some of Jojo's favorite treats were derailed by the Missouri Cottage business laws and that dog treats do not fall into such laws. SO, we are resurrecting the former "From My House to Yours" but will be resurrected under a new name... or a slightly changed name.  There will be new and improved dips, dressings and soup mixes along with Jojo's Paw Balm and some breed cross stitch items and personalized tribute items. I know this is all somewhat vague, but that is because it is still somewhat vague in my brain yet! I know there will be items from Washington State in the form of my friend Melanie's Stitching 9 to 5 cottage business. Everything will be available online through Etsy. my blog, and well, heck, you can just email me. launch date for now is January 1, but it could happen sooner. Vague, I know. That's me, vague Prairie Pearl! So, just keep checking back on my blog and I may give little teasers along the way!
