July 4th Weekend

I never get tired of hot dogs and fireworks! How 'bout you?

While spending time with good friends celebrating the 4th, several mentions were made about LRT and the useful information it contains. I beam like a proud mom when someone goes out of their way to compliment me on our most entertaining publication.

Although we've endured some interesting times in our 5+ years in business, I do realize we're very fortunate to have survived the latest shakeout. Seems every month I pick up another publication (regional or national) only to read about how they're ceasing publication, consolidating issues, or merging with another magazine. My heart aches for them because I know how much work and energy goes into print but I also understand how these tough economic times are taking a toll on this industry. No one ever said it would be easy but for the most part, it sure is fun!!

Oh, we got fan mail from an online reader in England this week!!! Watch for it in the Backtalk segment in the August issue.
