I can&#8217;t wait for the day that WeatherVane Creamery is open on Main Street and participating in the chili crawl.  I envision me walking in the door in the morning and preparing with a hum in my throat.  And as the day moves on, I look forward to seeing all of the familiar faces and giving out surprises to the children.  I see happy employees at play.  I can not think of a more gratifying way to spend the day.    <\/p>\n<p>Happy Black Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have lots to report. \u00a0So much so, that every day I think to start a letter or blog and stop short overwhelmed. \u00a0I have a tug of war going on as to what to show. \u00a0I often have thought &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/2013\/11\/29\/happy-black-friday\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_s2mail":"yes","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11,119],"tags":[346,345,175,121,35,347],"class_list":["post-690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","category-personal","tag-black-friday","tag-burnsville-center","tag-eddie-bauer","tag-entrepreneur","tag-weathervane-creamery","tag-wisdom"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7YaDo-b8","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=690"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":695,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690\/revisions\/695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvcreamery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
