LONG-DISTANCE KEYS
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, and you have remote-control entry, call someone on your cell phone (or borrow one). Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person on the other end of the phone press the "unlock" button of your key-fob clicker, holding it near the phone on their end. Your car doors will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object -- you could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other remote for your car, you can unlock the doors or the trunk! -- Rachel, via e-mail

Ruthy's Fond Farewell!
Hi! Ruthy "retired" after 5 years with our company due to her father's illness and having to take over their family sign-making business. While she will still fill-in during busy periods, etc. , she will no longer be in the office weekly. We took her to Villa de Flora for a Thank-You/Farewell Breakfast on her last day, September 29th and here are some of the pictures!
