Just for a little fun, we thought we would share some of our favorite things.
At DPI:
We always look forward to our weekly staff meeting, especially to hear Steve’s (the boss) latest joke. He never fails to surprise. And he always has an inspirational story or quote to help us through our week. We love to have pot luck lunches. Birthdays are great; someone always brings a special treat.
And you never know when the green squeeze ball will be flying toward you or who is going to throw it next. (Laurie loves to confiscate it and hide it for awhile).
We love our customers! Some have been around a very long time and have become dear friends.
Individually, we do differ in our favorite things. Check it out:

Just a few of my favorite things: Very, very dark chocolate, Hallmark’s Maxine (just love her!), Tweety, a good wine with dinner on the weekend, baking (especially with chocolate), all things Greece, oil painting once a week with my palette pals, ushering at Landers Theater, working out, walking, fall driving trips to see the leaves, shooting guns at the range, girls weekend with my sisters, getting to spend time with my family, who all live far away. And I am fortunate and blessed to sail on my boat at Stockton Lake with my hubby year round!

Wanda Franco (Bindery Specialist)
My favorite books are the twilight series.
My favorite food is Mexican, with Italian a close second.
My favorite dessert is Chocolate Éclair Cake. Also homemade ice cream.
I love Springtime with the fresh smells, robins and new blooms of flowers.Thunderstorms with billowing clouds. Auctions, I love the thrill of finding antiques and collectibles. Antiques, especially nice oak furniture and etched glassware. I love, love, love the mountains of Colorado! I love most animals (excluding snakes and creepy crawler), I prefer the softer, cuddlier species like my cat.
