Too Cool for School.
Well THIS doesn't happen every day. I have been officially christened "cool". And by the local bible of All Things Good, too: our beloved Phoenix Magazine. It's the one you pick up the instant you hit the Valley of the Sun to see what's good to eat, what's on at the arenas (sports and otherwise) what's in our theaters (and I don't mean movies...yawn) and at our now TWO operas.
And this month's "2009 Cool Issue", "33 of the Hippest People, Places & Things in the Valley". And I'm number 7. (GET OUT! You're kidding!!) No, really. Stop laughing. http://www.phoenixmag.com/lifestyle/200903/a-cooling-trend/2/ And they lead off with my telling the nice reporter about my first entrepreneurial experience: my worm farm at age 9. OK, THAT's funny... (Oh, they can really "worm " it out of you, those reporters..... sorry, couldn't resist). But it's a nice article and I've thrilled and flattered.
So for all of the things that get "out of the bag" and the things that should really STAY" in the bag", here is today's bag entitled: "In the Bag"! It's a vintage leather suede drawstring pouch, leather lined with metallic gold leather drawstring and shoulder string-strap, sporting a gold-toned, rhinestoned "bag" on big chain links.
And for getting to be "officially" cool. Thanks, Stephanie Connor, and Thanks, Phoenix Magazine!

Congrats, Tracy! Nice write up. Too bad there's no photo!
Did you know that your brother also had a worm farm when he was little out at the ranch? He sold a dozen worms in Prince Albert tobacco cans. His business was handicapped by the fact that your oldest sister used to eat the worms. She vehemently denies this but Penny says it's true. Perhaps that should "stay in the bag" but it's just too good not to share!
Anyway, entrepreneurialism must be genetic. You go girl!

Actually, it was OUR worm farm, Lee's and mine, and I did NOT eat the worms at that point! I'm indignant - I was 2 when I ate worms (so I hear) and those weren't the ones we were selling many years later, of course! We also sold lemonade, ice, milk, and eggs to tourists. Guess entrepreneurialism is in our blood. So my card line.
Anyway, we are very proud of Tracy and her endeavors and the gorgeous creations she concocts. I am the proud owner of one of her bags and have to pick out another. Good luck, Trace. You know you are always first in our books!
