Moving Up

Well Folks, I've been chosen to expand my role here. When I first came on board, I helped with marketing in our retail store and people loved me. I had a good time. I wasn't sure what role I would play on the internet but sales it is. I just have to learn about social media. I figure I know how to smile a big friendly smile, and I enjoy folks, what more could I need to know?

My first selfie.

The second was too blurry and my glasses got bumped.

This is better but would have been better outside but it was raining out. And I didn't have sparklers.

Not bad for a first time. Happy 4th Everyone!

Vermont Roads

Evening Folks,
It's been a long, long, time since I posted, and a long, long winter. I figure to share a few photographs from last fall that I never got to. Did you know that in Vermont, not all roads can be traveled all the time?  Some roads don't get plowed so unless you have a dog sled or good snow shoes, you just can't go there. Here's the sign you want to watch for when the snow starts falling.

I'll look around for a few other photos tomorrow.

Mens Aprons

More news Folks,
 The new Aproned Man website was a bust. Something about a platform not working, blah, blah, blah. I don't get what they mean.The point is, folks, that the mens aprons are back on www.vermontapron.com. They have a mens page there for our aprons, although I took a look and its not loaded yet. The page is there, the aprons aren't yet. Frank said they get loaded tomorrow. I'll do my best to keep you updated, although I have to say that's getting a little tough lately.

Again

Hello Folks,
 I am to announce that once again we have a new website. I'm not sure if this means we can't make up our minds, or if we can't stop moving on. Well no matter, take a look (again, please) they really did make it better this time.

Saint Patrick's Day

Did you know they have green beer?  How did I miss this. Let me find Frank. He might know.

Missed a Meeting

It's not very often I'm left speechless. I am. We now have the mens aprons in their own website. Apparently I missed a meeting somewhere along the way. How I missed that one, I don't know, maybe I was off drinking with Frank. No idea. Anyways, I better check it out. I'll report back. I'm told they called it The Aproned Man. I hope that isn't actually another guy on board here.

Final Touches

Hey Folks,
 Apparently even when it's an Apron for a fashion show, there are final touches, something about hems, something about shoulder length... no idea.

I just hung out and offered to hold things.... again. It's a skill I'm getting good at.

Models and Me

Hey there Folks!
I have also found I have the added responsibility of entertaining models. Yeah, we're doing a fashion show and models came to be fitted and frankly hang out. I had so much fun we had our pictures taken.

  We laughed a lot and I have to admit, my smile is contagious! But, after all, it's what I'm suppose to do.

 Me, Wes, doing what I do best....

New Ways to Help

Hey there Folks,

 I am still getting my feet wet in this new location. My duties remain a tad unclear. I try as I might whereever I can. Here I am left standing along the photography wall. I was asked to hold an apron while they took a picture of the other one. A simple task but important. You can't have these things laying on the floor after all.

I did such a good job, I was then asked to hold the hat as well.

 The lesson here folks? Do your best and the company will give you even more opportunites to prove yourself.

King and Regular Guy

I noticed that around here, there is a lot of talk about sizing lately. Large ladies are referred to as Queen and the others are Regular. What about us? Frank has a gut on him, we can't call him Queen, can we? No, we can't. I am suggesting King and Regular Guy. Who's with me on this??

Here's a photo of me wearing the Regular Guy Garden Apron.

 Here's a photo of Frank wearing King size. Isn't that an official sizing term or is that only in the world of Bedding.

                                

You can't tell how fat Frank is in this photo, they got him at his best angle.

Denim

This is Denim. It's the cloth pants are made out of. We just got a bolt to play with and they wrapped me in it so they could get an idea of what it looks like on a person. I'm doing my part, looking handsome and smiling through anything. (Do I look tired?)

 I look like I just got out of the shower and this is towel. At least it gives me a chance to get away from the basket of hats.
I miss real reporting, maybe that will start up again soon.

They moved me!

 Hey there Folks,
 I want you to know that I have not fallen asleep at the wheel here. Since fall, this pace around here has been faster than I can report. They made big changes and even shut down the store. I had no idea where I was going when two guys carried me out of what had been my home for nearly 5 years. Wasn't sure what to report, except, "Help! I'm being stolen!"
   The dust has finally settled and we seem to have a new home. We have big windows still but no traffic, I only see trees and river. I still have the job of welcoming people and Frank has been given the job of holding up the bolt of batting.

As for me, I still do my usual great job of smiling and making people just feel good. And finally I can get back to my job of blogging.

We are still getting set up in here, I'm guarding a bunch of chef hats until I hear different.
