Bunny meets Llama

I know I wasn't supposed to post anything until Wednesday when the kids are back in school but there have been good things happening and the kids are at my sisters playing with their cousins.


Great Grandpa is a Valentine baby so we celebrated his 89th Birthday on Saturday. He is currently at a facility recovering from surgery, we partied there, we hope he comes home soon.
He is the sweetest man ever, it's fitting he was born on Valentines Day.
I just got back from the grocery store and they finally brought back the discounted produce rack. I know it isn't local food, but that pile of bananas and pears was only .39 a pound. The girl loves grapefruit and that little kiwi was looking at me begging me to bring it home.
I also got discounted fresh mushrooms. Tonights meal, stuffed mushrooms and lasagna with a fruit salad on the side.
I had $100.00 to spend this week and my total came to $96.53. That was close, a little too close.

My little business news:

I got word that the bag order is a go (from last weeks meeting). They loved the sample I gave and want to order even more than the original 10. Yay! I'll give more details later.
You may be wondering what the title of this post has to do with anything.
I got word I was put into another etsy treasury.
It is such a nice feeling when another artist admires your work.
Thanks Patty!

Congratulations on your bag order. You SO deserve it! I too manage to stay well under $100 a week for our groceries although I am sure it will be a push by the time my young girls become ravenous teenagers like yours!
