Well I know I am long overdue with an update, so I will try to get one done real  fast here before the boys wake up. 

I have been so busy this week, I am in my last few days of my incentive period with Usborn Books and am working for a total of $200 in free books!  That's a gift from Usborne, on top of my commission.  I should be there before Monday, which is my deadline.  I had a party Tuesday evening and one Wednesday morning and Wednesday evening I had company!  My Uncle and Aunt from Kansas came for supper with their son, my cousin, who lives about 6 miles from us.  They were here visiting them for a few days and then going on east to visit their daughter.  It was really good to see them again and we had a good evening. 

Yesterday I had to run some errends, I picked up some more orders so I could close a show from last Friday, went to a new Credit Union and opened an account, ours is 1/2 hour away so it's rather unhandy.  So I got a savings opened and a checking for my business, and Todo and I both need to go in and open a joint account for our personal stuff.  But the hardest part is done.  Then I had to take money to the Credit Union Service Center here to go into our current checking for the parties I'm closing right now.  And to Meijer to get a camera for this weekend.  Our camera gave out a year ago and we've been living on other peoples pictures they give us and dissposable cameras, so with some of my Usborne commission, I bought a new digital camera.  I haven't gotten the software downloaded and ready to put pictures on the computer yet, but will share some pictures when I get that done.

The sun finally came out yesterday, but it's still chilly so I couldn't set my tomato plants outside, but put them on a table in front of the patio doors and the got some good warm sun.  They're looking perkier!  Looks like the sun is out again today!  It's been raining for over a week! 

Berylac will be 4 tomorrow so we plan to take him to the Zoo.  He's never been to a zoo, and has been wanting to go so bad.  We're not telling him we're going, we're just going to take him and surprise him.  I bought him a couple Usborne Books and the Dinasaur Snap game from Usborne.  We'd like to get him a little bicycle and helmet, but not sure yet what we're getting him.  He wants a Gordon Train cake, so I'll use my Thomas cake pan and just make him green.  And I'll have to figure out what number Gordon is so I can change the number on the cake too.  However, today he said he wanted a Dinasuar cake and I don't have a dinasaur cake pan, so we'll see......I may go in search of a rental store.  Or I may just stick with Gordon.

And so our life in the Shire goes on........
