... with donuts and special store hours!
Well, the donuts were for James and I (and of course, the "brother"), but the special store hours are for those of you who want to some some after-work shopping today. I host special hours by appointment for groups, and one of those groups is coming this afternoon. So if anyone else wanted to come later in the day when we usually aren't open, this time being Friday April 20 from 4-5:30, you're welcome to stop in. James will be working with me, or at least playing Pirates, which seems to be the thing he does at the store right now.
The weather here is downright perfect, which means sunny and not hotter than 70. As is common in Indiana, now that I've complimented Mother Nature, the weather is sure to change. It's not even 10am and James and I have already played on the swingset, gone out for donuts, looked at the blueberry bushes, peas and garlic in the garden, and washed windows (he actually likes washing windows, weirdo). I'm taking the morning off to be with him and only him, and of course that also means that right now he has absolutely no interest in me, which is why I'm blogging!
Hope you all have a fab weekend!
Awww.. I remember those special mommy son mornings when my David (now 23) was your James' age! They are precious indeed! Wish I was in Ft Wayne this weekend..if I was I would stop in the shop. However, I WILL be back in Ft Wayne on June 9 for a wedding, and as you are open that day, you can bet I will be there!

Wish I could shop in person. As Homer Simpson once said, "Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?"

I fondly remember the day before my younger daughter was born. I had a scheduled c-section & the hospital called me & wanted me to come in early the day before. It was in the 70's, a brilliant blue day with a few fluffy clouds high in the sky & there was no way I was spending it in the hospital for no good reason. I took my older daughter to Lincoln Park Zoo where we visited all our favorite animals, ate hit dogs & bought helium balloons. That was 36 years ago yesterday. My "baby" is celebrating her 36th birth day today (& I can't believe she's that old & has 3 kids!).
