    Thinking Ahead…

    Monday, July 26th, 2010

    Over the next few weeks you may be looking at getting your garden ready for fall — planning a lovely tulip and pansy display, or a hillside of yellow daffodils.

    Orange Marmalade Hosta

    Friday, July 16th, 2010

    Thursday, July 15th, 2010

    The annual Potter’s staff softball game is coming upon us quickly. The 192nd store has been strong the past couple of years and the other stores will be looking to dethrone the champions. We’ve been playing inter-store softball since I can remember… it all started many, many years ago and now it’s become tradition. A [...]
