Dear Friends,
The crab apple tree outside my house that we planted at my Mom’s memorial is in full bloom as are the apple trees and the lilacs. It is a very colorful display. As Grace and I head over the Kancamagus Highway on our way to Maine for the traditional first long motorcycle ride of the season, I am sure we will see a lot of spring blooms of all colors. I am really looking forward to the ride.
Small Dog Electronics will be closed on Monday for Memorial Day except for our South Burlington store, whose hours on the holiday will be from 10 AM to 5 PM. We will resume normal operations on Tuesday May 26th. All of the shipping companies we use will also be closed for the holiday, so expect packages to take an extra day to arrive. We will reopen as usual on Tuesday and, of course, our website and online ordering will be available 24 hours a day.
“How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!”
-Maya Angelou
Memorial Day is celebrated to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom. While the parades and celebrations are tributes to the brave men and women who have fought to protect us from tyranny, a lasting and real commitment to peace is the highest honor we can pay to soldiers. In these dangerous times, it is more important than ever to honor those who are on duty right now sacrificing so that we can enjoy a free society. We may not all agree with the policies that have put our sons and daughters in harm’s way, but honoring their service, sacrifice, and commitment is the duty of all citizens.
Apple lowered the price on the 5K Retina 27-inch iMac, introduced changes to the 15-inch MacBook Pro and finally released an Lightning Port dock. With WWDC coming up soon, I am sure there will be more new products coming soon! I am thrilled that my Apple Watch arrived today, a full month before the projected ship date. I’ll give you my first impressions next week!
