I don't think 2008 sucked that bad, when you think about it.....

Many of my friends have said 2008 sucked, was forgettable, all that. Sure, there were challenges. But, um, except for my stock portfolio (HAHAHAHA!), things have gone pretty good for us at 540 Main, Etna, NY:
-my dude won the election
-my poor dog Jack died in August, but he was very old, 13, and was playing ball till the last moment--and that pic up there is about the last moment.
-I had a chance to make a lot of FUN POTS! I love making pots. And sculpture. PLUS I started working in the Cornell studios which is so much fun.
-Missus Tastycake got prettier than ever this year, somehow, and yet is even more fun after 16 years of marriage, and she got a much better job this year.
-I had a chance to make a lot more friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloggy friends, new people friends, reconnect with old friends!
-Sales in October and November were down the tubs, but DECEMBER was the best month I ever had in business, EVER, and this blog sold over 500 items, thanks to YOU.

AND I discovered the Raveonettes
