IMPORTANT NOTICE: Jeanne d'Arc Living Issue #2 (A.K.A. Would you like some lemonade?)

So....

Less than 24 hours ago...

I jotted out a quickie post to let you know that the new issues

of Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine had just

hit our doorstep (literally).

My how things can change while you're sleeping...

So here's the deal:

I awoke to an email from the good folks at 

Jeanne d'Arc Living...

Here's what it said:

Did you receive your magazines yet?? It seems that something went wrong when the freight company packed the magazines, so that many of the US shops received the Danish issue. 

Please let me know if yours are correct.

Have a nice week-end.

Mange hilsner | Kind regards

I read the email at about 6:30 AM and immediately

fled over to the office where the cases were sitting

waiting to be opened and mailed out today...

Yep... every last box...

Kan du sige Dansk??

{Can you say "Danish"?}

The good news is, I think they have already mailed out replacement

cases for us and we should have them possibly as soon as Monday.

That's not too big of a delay...

I am just so sorry to have to tell you this news -- but I was equally sorry to receive it.

So what does all this have to do with lemonade?

Well... for about 1/2 hour very early this morning,

I had the bitter, sour taste in my mouth from the

"lemons" found in that email I awoke to.

However, 

I know that 

there is nothing I did to cause the issue,

nothing I can do to change it,

and now instead of the next 48 hours 

(literally day & night) 

being filled with magazine shipping 

(which we often turn into sort of a party atmosphere here),

I will now turn my attention to some things 

that were going to have 

to wait until next week some time and get those things done instead...

not the least of which -- 

visiting my mom this weekend.

See?

Lemonade.

The lemonade stand is now open for business.

If enough of us joins in this impromptu

Lemonade Fest, 

guess what?

We will have successfully turned a 

problem

into

a 

PARTY!  

So can I pour you a glass?

I promise...

the minute the English version arrives here (fingers crossed for Monday!)

the magazine shipping "machine" will spring into action and

get all orders shipped 

PRONTO!

In the mean time,

have a great weekend full of 

sugary-sweet lemonade goodness...
