Hi Everybody!!
I had gone MIA most of this year due to the fact of just mainly very busy with my Amish taxi business amongst other things like illness ( nothing bad) and my mother having a Stroke in August and making a trip to Oregon to see her. Then at the end of September I made another trip to Oregon to be with her in her last moments of life. She passed on September 30th very peacefully at the age of 98. A week later my Uncle Jerry passed a the the age of 94. This is the last of the Mohicans as my Auntie Jo would always say. All the Aunts and Uncles are now together having one heck of a reunion!

We have also had the passing of two children in our Amish community in the last two months. This has been so hard on my heart! These folks are like extended family to me. I’ve made such great friendships and watched a lot of the children grow up in the past 10 years and seen them start their own lives and families as well as a few that have gone home to our Heavenly Father. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

My Amish taxi job kind of changed up a bit, where I used to drive strictly a construction crew to work , then went and picked them up in the afternoon. Well most of them like to have a driver who can work with them so that put me back driving my van more on longer all day trips which takes up a lot of my time. I’m busier now than before. This is not a bad problem to have but it really steals time from my days.

As some of you know I’m doing some out of town shows like Rescued and Reclaimed , Little Red Truck and Chokecherry Festival. These also take time to organize and stock up for plus trying to have home crafted products.

Needless to say this year has been a lot of loss, not feeling well and being very busy. I guess you could call it bitter sweet 😊 my creative mojo was just not there.

BUT …. There is always hope and I’m pulling up my big girl pants and gonna get with the program.
I have a show in Sidney Mt this weekend October 31st and then the following weekend November 6&7 with Little Red Truck in Helena at the Kleffner Barn. Then Rescued Reclaimed in Billings November 20&21.

My goal is to Open the store for the holiday’s on November 13th and 14th and every weekend after that up till Christmas! (With the exception of November 20&21)

Happy Trails……until we meet again!🤠

Hey All!!!
I just wanted to let yall know I will
“NOT BE OPEN “this weekend.
My 98 yr old mom had a stroke and isn’t going well. I will be going to Oregon to see her this this week.
I will be at the Chokecherry Festival on September 12th so look for me and Clyde (the trailer) there in the 500 block
It’s been a crazy busy summer with my Amish driving job. They’ve had weddings and visitors coming from everywhere and that means we as drivers have to take advantage of that.
Which means every thing else seems to get neglected. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience but please don’t give up on me .
Things will slow in that way so as to put more effort into the store and my traveling shows to “Rescued and Reclaimed” and the “Little Red Truck”
So with that being said, the holiday season is upon us as we slip into the fall months. 🍁🍂I love this time of year as the colors change and the air gets cooler💨 and transitioning into that white stuff we call snow🏔️❄️ around the Christmas season. It all comes upon us so quickly. I’m hopeful to give you that feeling of cozy when you pop into my little mercantile this season!
I will see you all at CHOKECHERRY!!

HAPPY TRAILS……..from Rustic Hart Mercantile
