We have done it.. We retired and have sold Donna's Place. Combined years with both stores in Idaho City and Placerville we were open over 30 years. We've met the greatest people in the world over the years and we will miss all of you very much. Far too many to name, but your all so great. We've seen kids born, watched them grow up and have children of their own and hired many. I really thank you all so much and already miss you.. Each and Every one of you.
I remember owning a small trucking company in the Boise valley called Skip's Shavings hauling cattle bedding sawdust and shavings when Donna and I choose to open a small gift store in Idaho City. When it came time to give it a name I said well I have Skip's Shavings so lets call this Donna's Place.
Donna's the greatest partner ever and the best partner to work with ever. We have both worked countless hours seven days a week. It's been so great. At the same time Donna worked at Fred Meyer for 42 years.
We thank each and everyone of you.
Wilma Eck has bought the store and calling her store " My Place". She has the same phone number and will be open seven days a week. Wilma's a great lady and has lived in Boise County over 70 years. Please go visit her and give her a hug.
Thank you, Skip and Donna.
