School began again on Monday, but just as Sarah and I were about to leave today, we discovered that both our schools were closed because of the snow. We spent about half an hour wooping, then played in the snow, then on the Wii Fit, then worked all morning, then went to Westfields, then bought cakes. Amazing day! I sat down about an hour ago to get on with work and just have such a heavy heart. I...

Recent deliveries

Grease cups are finished.  At least the first work order--I took two more to Jake yesterday and we discovered that one of the threads is different, so he wants to take a cup off of the Donk to use on the Erie (translation--the other steam engine, the Donkey Engine that's living outside next to his sled dogs has a couple of grease cups that the local magpies somehow missed, and one of them should ...

Great deals this week!

... good coupon/sales pairings today. I went to CVS this morning. I bought 1 GE Energy Smart compact fluorescent for 99 cents after extra bucks, and after the $1 GE coupon in today's paper, it was free!

I heard something rustling around again last night and went to investigate. I followed the noise to a white plastic bag that, among other things, contained some treats for my parrot, so The Thing was apparently having dinner. I snatched up the bag, but the creature was quick and I saw a dark shape dart out of the bag and behind a board that was propped against the wall. I pulled the board away,...
