Hmmmmm

You know I can't decide between Garfield who sleeps and eats all day, with occasional forays to irritate others and Snow White who lives with seven wonderful dwarves and Prince Charming!
Who's next?????

Grandma and Grandpa are back!!!!!!!

Question of the Week

It could be "How can I engage my fellow family bloggers who read but for the most part remain deafeningly silent?"

But instead I'll ask "If you were a cartoon character, who would you be?" I would be Sally from the Peanuts. Always the little sister & semi-practical about life's issues. How about you?

Spending Money

So Easter weekend is supposed to be all about family and faith right. Mine seemed to be about family, faith and spending money. Mom woke up Saturday morning trying to figure out how to tell me she didn't like the new fregrence I was using in the house. I'm not sure what's wrong with Ode De Sewer, just kidding. Turns out my sewer was backing up. YUCK! After calling the wrong guys on Friday and then the right ones on Saturday it's finally fixed $300 later. On top of that, my car started sounding REALLY bad Thursday night. So, Dad and I went to see what the Kia dealer could do for me. Turns out he could get me into an fully loaded 08 Sorento EX 4X4 V6 for 8000 off sticker. DONE DEAL!!! Here's a pic of my new baby!


Congrats to Held's on their potential new business!

We're whooping it up in Iowa!

Could you hear it? We're through the first phase in purchasing a local business. We made an offer yesterday & they called tonight and accepted. Can't say what it is yet. Time to gather 101 documents to turn over to the bank, CPA & attorney in hopes of a SBA loan. Kudos to Eric for his hard work & (very) detailed spread sheets. Did I say detailed? The owners, the bank & their attorneys thought it demonstrated his thorough understanding of the business & his good business sense. The banker declared it a good deal for them & for us. Now keep those prayers a-coming as we move to the next phase. (Or if someone has a family farm... that's how bankers in Iowa think. Any herds of cattle? No?)

Will there be wine?

I think perhaps we will buy more if you grease the wheels a bit :) Especially Susan & Chris. Now Sherry, she just gets all silly. Whatever time works best for you.

Brady won first game 6-4 despite being 1 player short & taking automatic outs. He voted himself MVP. We then had a talk about modesty. He countered he was being HONEST.

Jewelry Party

Ok... what would work best for everyone that's able to make it Memorial weekend? I can do afternoon or evening on that Saturday the 17th. Some of you out of towners may still get an invite... just so I meet the full 30 invites they strongly suggest.

Let me know! I was thinking evening...??
