There is never a good time to lose your phone. People have nightmares about it and these past few months have created a lot of opportunities to do just that.
She’s home! See bar installation photos.
I’m having a blast planning this new bar business, Kerry Lou’s LLC, at Flag and Banner.
It probably won’t make much money, but I don’t believe it will lose any either. It’s more about having fun and business creativity. As my long-time friend and actress Joey Lauren Adams says about her new bar/restaurant in Hot Springs, Arkansas, “I want a sexy bar” and I think I do, too.
The Dead Internet Theory is the idea that most of what we see online isn’t made by people anymore, but by bots, algorithms, and AI.
Maybe you read in the paper, or right here in my blog, that FlagandBanner.com is downsizing its first-floor showroom in…
Flags mean many things to many people. They are an emotional symbol representing a wide range of fanaticism evoking love, hate, union, defiance and more.
How Kerry McCoy Became an Enterprise
It is hard to be a funny person in today’s world, where everyone takes themselves so seriously.
I am all about expressing oneself through flags. Humans have been identifying themselves, their clan, or their country with colored cloth as far back as anyone can remember. But, when it comes to flying the US flag on government buildings, I am purest.
This past Memorial Day weekend was reported to be the busiest travel weekend in history. How can that be? With all the complaining about inflation, gas prices, and food prices, I wondered how those two reports could coincide. Being my natural curious self, I did some research and was surprised at my findings.
Not sure if that title will make men more or less eager to read this blog. Menfolk, consider yourself warned.
Because so often our names fit our personality, I have often wondered if we pick our baby’s names or if, somehow, from the other side of the universe, our naming is sublimely picked by who-knows-who (or what).
This past week, I have laughed myself 10 years younger. It started during my Miami work week, when my daughter and granddaughter visited me at the beach for Spring Break. We did the usual things; dined on stone crabs, cruised South Beach, took an everglades tour, and went to Mai Kai, a tourist show of hula dancing ladies and fire throwing gents, all in grass skirts.
How could I not write about the election results? But wait …
When you order a custom flag or banner from FAB, chances are one of these lovely ladies handmade it.
I am not sure I would know how to go about starting a flag business today. 50 years ago (yes, next year we celebrate 50 years), business was simpler. You identified a need, then filled the need by either door-to-door sales or a store front. And advertising was simpler, too, with only 3 mediums to choose from: radio, tv, or newspaper. All that seems archaic by today’s standards.
In the years before Covid, everyone’s dance card (so-to-speak) was full, and high-society-photographer’s evenings were busy as they party-hopped, taking pictures. But not anymore.
Son Mattie’s time is about to get more precious.
Did I tell you that, in August, I am going to be a grandmother, again? It has been 12 years since we have had a new baby in the family and everybody, including the menfolk, are vying for the new baby’s attention.
The idea of a dancing fundraiser came from a young party planner named John. That’s all I remember about him, other than that he had short, blond hair. In 2009, he had followed a girl to Little Rock, started his party planning business, got divorced (or never married), and he left town.
