Retrospective

Sierra Madre Grocery Company and Elise Entertaiing Paper Tableware

Last week, we discussed our take on business philosophy and how it applies to WFS.  This week, I'd like to take a look back, in retrospect, from our first blog post to today.  In effect, our history has been documented since we first put pen to paper (figuratively speaking) in February, 2008.  Here is that first post, in which we give some history and an explanation as to why the walls went up at Webster's. It's still a hot topic with people here, interestingly enough.

We posted fairly regularly from then on, but didn't have any particular schedule in mind when we did. As you probably now know, we have been publishing weekly on Sundays for over two years now.  There have been high points in our blog-life, such as this post here, where we talk about the positive change a connected community can make; and low points, like this post that talks about a dissatisfied customer.  Through it all, however, there is a thread of hope running through all our posts - the hope that one day soon, our community, its residents, and all its businesses will prosper and grow.  Over the past five years, that hope has never dimmed. 


On that note, Altadena's Fancy Food Truck Friday will be on Flag Day - June 14th, from 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm.  The trucks making an appearance in the rear parking lot this month are: Pasadena's own Pie & Burger Truck; the Roll 'n Lobster Truck; the Food Network star, Nona's Kitchenette; An Nam Vietnamese Fusion Truck; The Melt Bus; and for dessert, A Rockin' Ice Truck.  Joining us on Friday evening are the good folks from Sierra Madre Grocery Company, who will be demonstrating their products that we're now carrying - make sure to drop by and have a taste of their delicious offerings!

On our radar for early July is a book signing with author Carol McKibben, who wrote the book "Luke's Tale".  Luke, a yellow Labrador Retriever, is the star of this book about unconditional love, and really was Carol's dog.  Luke's gone now, but Carol will be bringing her other dog, who is a certified therapy dog. This will be a very special book signing/reading, so make sure you look for our announcements.

That's all for this week, friends.  Take care, have a good week and we'll talk to you next Sunday!
