Today we exited our little Booth Alpine Garden and Gifts..Yes I look like Sandiford and Son.. I ending up finding some treasures that I forgot about or that didn’t sell.. We will now incorporate them on Katy's Farm..
I wanted to take a minute to share with you my exiting thoughts.. During Covid I had some personal Struggles with Mental Illness.. I had never expierenced any mental illness in my life or maybe I did but it might of been masked with alcoholism.. I started Picking( Or Vintage collecting) to pass the time and make a little side cash.. Today I realized that It was good for me to stay busy taking vintage stuff and turning them into things that people thought were cool enough to buy.. One persons Junk is another Persons Treasure..There we’re days in my struggles that artwork how good or bad it was ended up being the thing I needed to get through another day..
I’m grateful I sought help for my mental illness.. I’m grateful my my wife Katy for being there for me on those days I couldn’t get out of bed.. Selling Surf Surf Side Deli and not Catering was super hard for me.. I’m a people person and love to be out and about making people happy with my cooking..
Today March 22nd,2023 I’m back to the human I was before Covid.. I’m back Catering for the the San Diego Gulls, Anahiem Ducks, my cowboy crew is back and have a bright summer Schedule.. I live on an awesome farm with my wife and 2 kids.. And like 100 animals.. or something like that.. I have a couple really cool new BBq’s just in time for summer..and I bought a super cool old truck..
In parting I just wanted to say if youre struggling your not alone and there is help out here.. The hardest step is to ask for help.. or if your in the middle of getting your mental illness under control that you have an outlet such as artwork, Vintage Picking, Farming or something healthy.
with much love,
