Your Note from Ernie May, 2012
Greetings!

Happy May Day! Time just seems to be flying these days. It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating April Fools' Day, and here we are in May. Some days, I wish we could slow things down a bit and take time to enjoy the special moments. May is one of my favorite months. It's not too hot, the pollen has settled down and the world just seems to be exploding with color and life. Looking outside my window just now, the front lawn of the building is a little community of robins and squirrels. I saw chipmunks and a lizard yesterday, too!

 

Things are no less alive here inside our walls. The many people and parts that keep our mini world moving are all hard at work. You, our customers and friends, are the biggest part of that. Then, of course, there are all our suppliers, our team here, my wife Blanche and even me ... the voice that hopes to instill in the group our motto of just doing things the right way. "Just do right" is another of the mantras you hear bantered about our little family. It's the answer to so many issues we come across each day. And, it really does cut down on a lot of wasted conversation. Just doing things right is not always the easiest or cheapest way to go, but at the end of the day, it sure feels good when this old man's head hits the pillow.

 

Well, Blanche is tapping her toe out there in the hallway. Better get moving. What more could I ask for ... hard work and the opportunity to play another day. Life is good. So, with that, I will wrap with my usual heartfelt sentiments. Thanks for all you do for us in Mini World. Keep your notes and emails coming, so that we can keep serving you the way you deserve. Oh, and one last thought for May ... please invite others to see your miniature creations! Post pictures on Pinterest, Facebook, your blogs and your refrigerator doors, because your projects are an inspiration to others ... to fellow miniaturists, future miniaturists and most certainly to me!

 

Take care, enjoy this beautiful month, and I will talk to you all very soon.

 

Sincerely,
