I love your business ideas! I was at one time going to have a bookstore for kids, with a bow window containing a rocker and a giant pink bunny I owned. I also considered going to massage school and setting up a business only for babies, because I'm loath to touch naked adults I don't know. I like the idea of an aging-in-place home, which is what I sorta have now. I'd like flight accommodations for cats, too, please, but I'd be all over your tiny treats idea. Travel safely!

I love every one of these business ideas especially the one meal a day restaurant!

As always, I love every word you write. I can identify with it all, especially the restaurant with only one meal on the menu, just Mom's homemade cooking. I have often thought of doing that myself :)

Such great ideas! But what about creating an airline for kitties? Those of us who are cat people would love traveling on a plane with our fur babies close by 😻.

I love your imagination! Are you still working on your idea of having a house where women can meet to do various kinds of workshops together?

If I saw you on the L selling .50 cent caramel rolls, I would totally have bought at least a dozen. I love how your mind works. I hope you’re feeling better.

I'd order a box filled with tiny desserts, the buttermilk chicken, a window seat with my dog, Jubilee. Lol. Great ideas...

If I had any money whatsoever I would fully fund Dog Airlines ~ I’m your venture spiritualist since I have no capital 😉

I love this. Your dog airline is hilarious but it might make me want to fly. Love the house idea though!

My town has a gas station where the employees fill your tank and wipe your windshield. They'll even check the oil if you want. (Alas, they don't wear white shirts or bow ties, but you can't have everything.) It's so pleasantly old-fashioned it was used as a movie set for Robert Redford's "The Old Man and the Gun." Oh, and there's a real-life Ben Franklin Store on Main Street and a drive-in theater just outside of town. I bet those caramel rolls would sell just fine here.
