Happy Birthday Loryn!  Nice decorations— they remind me of an episode of The Office.  Next year we'll put someone other than Kendall in charge of party planning.

We celebrated Loryn's birthday this week.  I think if the decorations had been up to me I'd have made a more colorful choice, but for some reason, Kendall was put in charge.

So Loryn got deflated black, brown and gray balloons.  And a festive sign (that Kendall obviously worked very hard at): "It is your birthday".  You can't really see much of the trophy she was presented with, but it says "Fine Work Award".

If you're not a fanatical fan of "The Office"  (like some in our workplace), I can tell you that the decorating ideas were borrowed from an episode where the guys in The Office were put in charge of party planning.  What can I say?  It wasn't pretty in Scranton and neither is it in Vernon, VT.

But Loryn did get a kick out of it and we had a productive day at Vermont Woods Studios in spite of the occasional clowning around.

Happy Birthday Loryn!

Nice job on the cake, Manjula. Thanks!

Thank goodness for our brilliant children, who put their parents to shame in the technology arena (and most others).  Our son, Kendall has created a Fabulous Facebook Fan Page for Vermont Woods Studios. 

Kendall wanted to provide a way for customers and others interested in green furniture, rainforest conservation, wildlife protection and sustainable forestry to connect and share new ideas. 

Check it out and let Kendall know how we can use it to help you and your family make informed choices about purchasing sustainable furniture and other wood products.

Thanks Kendall for all your help with our family business.  You are awesome!!
