My wife and I visited Chimney Rock Park in June with one of our daughters and 3 grandchildren. We walked 499 steps to the top of the Chimney and back down because the elevator was out of commission. We then walked ¾ miles to Hickory Nut Falls. Later that day we ended up in the river at Chimney Rock.

Dad and Mom would then take us to Asheville for a while and then over to Cherokee, NC. Wow, that was fun. We had our pictures made with a bear and an Indian man in full headdress. These are some of my summer fun memories.

We have some pretty exciting summers here at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware. It seems that many of our customers have a summer window in which we "MUST" get their jobs installed, especially in the school systems. We try to plan for it each year, but it still overwhelms us some times. I am not complaining! Keep those orders coming. We have several families represented here who depend on those orders for their livelihood.

As I have told many of you before, we do not take you, our valued customers, for granted. We are grateful for your continued patronage with us. We will continue to make every effort possible to make your projects and jobs happen when you need them.

I appreciate you!
