Sitting on the dock of the bay, watching TIDES.

millpondadmin · Dec 15, 2020 ·

Yup, it’s been a busy month, the MOVE of Millpond, reorganizing records, synchronizing inventory, website move and account changeovers…… not a SMOOTH operation, but it’s almost done.

Missed RSD 2020, MISSED Black Friday. About to miss Christmas for Books….. and many other tiny things.

These are the TIDES that are rolling out and making me feel like Redding at the dock.

YET there is great news on the horizon. Going forwards am going to post a new TIDE’s IN every day, or whenever I have time.

Watch for my “TIDE”S IN” announcements starting tomorrow. Lots of great new changes at Millpond, and lots of OLD Millpond being made available again.

Now it’s time to head onto the Millpond HOME page and get started 🙂

Talk soon

Cheers.
