Still in Washington -- read about my dad
Here's the local newspaper story on my dad, which I'm sharing, because he was such a great guy and will be missed.
I'm still in Washington for the rest of the week, so posting will remain lighter than usual while I'm gone. Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts, prayers, and words -- it means a lot.
I'm "stickying" this post to the front page for a couple of days so people who don't visit often know why I am gone and why there are fewer deals this week. Please scroll down under this post to see new content.





Amazing legacy and tribute! Rachel, I am so sorry for your loss, you did him proud!! Thanks for sharing!
So sorry for your loss. I love the response he gave when asked how many employees work at his business. Shows what a fun guy he was! Keep all those great memories close to your heart. Praying for you and your family.
I love that response too.

He sounded like a great guy with a quick sense of humor. My sympathies on your loss.
So sorry for you and your family. God bless.
Such a nice article. It sounds as though he will be greatly missed by many. Thinking of you and your family.
That was a great piece about your father; it sounds like he was a stand-up guy. I'm sorry for your loss.
Very sorry to hear Rachel. Peace to you and your family.
What a wonderful tribute to your dad. He will always be with you in your heart. So sorry for your loss.
My sincerest condolences to you and your family, Rachel. I lost my own dad 12 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't either think of him or recall a good memory. They remain in our hearts forever. God bless you all and may he rest in peace.
