As I sit down to write this column, I am looking out the window and it’s a beautiful day here in Jersey. The sun is shining brightly and there is a slight breeze – the perfect summer weather. It has a calming effect and I feel I can finally exhale after what seems like a whirlwind of the first half of the year.
2018 has definitely been busy so far. I have traveled everywhere from Vegas to Xiamen to Atlanta to our parent company’s headquarters in Michigan. In the last few weeks I have checked two more states off my list to visit – Ohio and Wisconsin. This included a trip to the Natural Stone Institute’s office in Oberlin, OH, and one of our workshops, which was held in Milwaukee, WI.
