    Good night Sara and MB. :wub::wub: Had a good day today. I took my laundry to the cleaners this morning so have all my clothes fresh and clean. We ran a load of shirts to start Monday off with and Clay cleaned the hat, pressed a load of heavy starch jeans and spotted a shirt I would have bet...

    Good morning Kad:wub: After looking at the cap, it isn't at all what I expected. It is a black cap with a black leather brim that says, "bronze star" at the top and on the brim and honor on the lower part of the cap. I will still post a pic of it. I would guess more Vietnam era.

    Good morning Sara:wub: I will try to remember to get a before and after of the cap. Maybe one when he is spotting and steaming it too. Having been raised a cowboy, hats and their care are very important to him. If you see a pic of him in his straw, you will see the rather distinct way he...

    Well, I think my grandma spent enough time showing me how, and it was a pleasant time so I still find it relaxing and don't mind doing it. ;) So far today we've taken in 34 shirts (as well as other items, the strangest of which is a WWII cap with the leather on it) that will be due to go out...

    Not yet Dale. Once we have a consistent customer base it will be easier to figure what help is needed and how long they are needed for. Being finished by 1 in the afternoon is pretty good though. With the shirt press, all I have to do is touch up on the shirts so it isn't exactly like doing a...
