Product Updates and Changes

Good evening. What a trying day and a half this has been. I came home yesterday from the "outside" job in hopes of working on my home business only to discover our phone and Internet were out. I called the phone company but unfortunately it was going to be today before they were able to get the service up.  I must give them credit. In spite of the wait, their service tech was FABULOUS! He worked very hard trying to figure out what the problem was.  This problem stumped him for a little while but he was able to figure it out and restore our service. I can't thank him enough. 

After getting the Internet restored I was able to check our stock status of our inventory and found that we are currently out of some of the products in our catalogs.  Below you will find a list of those products and an expected restock time frame. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.  Please continue to check our website at www.watkinsonline.com/rsanders for updates.

I so appreciate you taking the time to read my blogs and facebook posts and for visiting my store. If I can help you with anything at all please leave me a comment or email me at rsanders@watkinsonline.com.
