Happy Wednesday


I noticed on my counter that I have over 1,000 reads on my blog....strange two followers and over 1,000 reads? If you are reading this enjoy.....it's meant to be read.
Stefan is half way through his trip to Toronto.....we have been busy getting ready for the Somerset County 4H fair in Bridgewater happening over the course of the next three days. On Sunday Bill & Stefan went to help with the set up of the stand as the Boy Scouts are selling cheese steaks, curly fries and water/soda. It is their biggest money making event of the year.....so if you live in NJ come on over and get some food....it's way too hot to cook anyway! Last night we went to Shop Rite to purchase and pick up all the soda & water. We are bound by 4H rules to only sell name brand soda & water.....so there's no money saving on the purchase of the items for resale. I managed to work out a deal with the owner of Shop Rite to allow us to purchase all the beverages at a sale price.....so it is all good. Picking up and lugging all the product to the fair grounds was a bit of a "challenge" to say the least! It is was too hot......humid....hoping this is not a hint of how bad our winter will be! Stefan gets home on Friday night at which time he will head over to the fair grounds to help disassemble the stand, once the fair closes. Bill & I are both working the food stand tonight form 7-10PM. Just what I want to do after working all day. All for the Scouts and of course my son.....so no use in complaining.
We will be celebrating Dad's 88th birthday next Saturday.....then kayaking with friends on Sunday and off to North Carolina on Monday morning....we are taking Dippy (our golden retriever) with us this time....it should be interesting traveling for 11 hours in the car with her....but considering she sleeps all day long.....she should just (hopefully) sleep in the car too.
On a very very happy note....Allie secured a (real) job as she put it! Yay.......she starts on September 7th, we are so happy for her and proud of her. She will be a great employee and an asset to any company she works for! She is a wonderful, kind, giving and hard working young lady.
Back to work..........
