When we started our "New shop project" we knew there was going to be some lost time involved, but had no idea how much lost time there would be.
I have been involved with the construction on a near full time basis since the middle of May and my wife Pat (some know her from her chat nick Patsee)has been the most amazing lady...she has picked up the slack I've been leaving and she has single handidly kept us afloat doing everything the buisness can throw at her from cut outs to coat outs...vinyl lettering and all the rest that goes with it.
I would like to proclaim her WOMAN OF THE YEAR...at least at my shop anyway.
Drop her an e-mail and let her know SHE WON.

Congratulations to both Pat and you, Monte. When I met you both in January, I couldn't help but notice how much of a perfect compliment you were to each other. You both gave off a very calming, tranquil aura. It was very noticable and very impressive.

Monte, What you have is the epitome of a sign painters dream. You were blessed bro. I admire you and your wife. The battle with your shop is all part of...only the strong survive.

You're doing great, that's really good to hear something refreshing like that Monte and Patsee. I wish you the best for all your hard labor. The fruits of your labor are your reward and two sweeties can enjoy it together. She sounds like a good woman Monte! Keep her close.

I salute your choice and acknowledgement of appreciation. Flowers and hom made poetry and sunset walks in the park speak loudly too. God's blessings on you both!

I can't say anything more than what's already been posted above. I'm a better person for having known you both, and very fortunate to be able to call you both friends.
