That's what I was thinking. Tractor Supply is a nice store.

Janet, I was wondering if it was a carnival, maybe your town elected a King, or a new kind of ice cream place.

Good luck with the job apps for both of you. I hope you get the hours you want, and a nice employee discount.

There were way over 800 people there and hardly anyroom to park. This was in a nice size plaza with the old Wal Mart store at one end and a row of other stores off to the left.

I decided not to put in my application. After discussing it with the boys, I'm needed much more here at home than I realized. Didn't really want to work most of my summer away anyway, but thought the extra money would be nice.

Ricky filled one out and is taking it in now. He had to work most the day. One of the guys in charge there said there is always more hired after the store opens so it may be better to wait and put an application in then. I'll just wait and see what happens.

Good that you decided to take the summer off. You enjoy that time too much to spend it working for a few dollars.

It does sound that the store will be good for your community though. A lot of people will end up with jobs.

Yes, so many people are out of work here. Of course, I would have loved to have the extra money, but I like being home as much as the guys told me I need to be here.

It's great that you are in a position that you don't have to work and have your family's support in your decision!! Someday, I hope to get there. For now, I'm stuck. We can't afford for me to stay home.

Enjoy your summer!!

Oh, we can't afford it either Marilyn..lol. We just try and live within our means and don't do too bad. Can't afford some of the things I'd like to have or do, but I'm not going to borrow money to do it either.

The bus driving provides us with great insurance and for me to be home during the day. I would like to make a little extra, but I don't want to be overwhelmed.
