Lots to talk about!

I have lots to talk about...just as the title said. Last week started out great! Don and I got to spend some one on one time with each other at the state fair. We had a great time...we missed watching a calf being born by 40 minutes, but below are the pictures of the mom and her calf (which was a little girl). As you will see in front of the birthing stall there is a dry erease board with all the calves born right before the state fair and at the state fair. We also went to the part of the state fair which was like Conner's Praire (in Indiana). Down below there are pictures of the people squeezing cane for cane syrup.

On Tuesday I went to work and told the woman that I work with that I needed to transfer stores because of the cost of gas is killing me. It takes 2 tanks of gas a week to get Don and I to work and back because we work so far from each other and only have 1 car. So I got everything arranged so I could move to the store that is one mile from his work (until my store is opened --which could be March, April or heck even May). So I will be working out of the St. Pete store for now!

Then the week took a sharp turn for the worse. On Thursday I got a call from work (very early) that I needed to come into work because our store was broken into and I needed to help deal with it. The thief/thieves broke the large piece of glass in our front door (shoving the door way into the door frame) and breaking into a locked desk. They were so dumb that they took a empty lock box. We don't keep money there we have a hidden safe. They didn't take any product or big ticket items...and they were so kind not to mess the shelves up! How sweet of them. So he/she/they were looking for cash. So hopefully the thief gets a lot of money for an empty lock box. The manager of that store was very upset...it didn't bother me like it did her. So I made all the phone calls that we needed to make to home office and to the glass people to get the door fixed. The door is still not right but we were opened by noon because of the non stop work from 7 am until noon to get the store safe and looking good.

And today Don and I have decided how to spend a few bucks of our tax money. We were thinking of getting our year passes to Disney. Which would be nice, but with my schedule it might be hard to get our money out of those tickets this year. So we decided since Danny and Kelly are coming with the kids for spring break and they really want to do Busch Gardens this year (we did Disney last year)...we decided to do our year passes to Busch Gardens and Sea World. I haven't been to either and I thought it would be nice to see something different...not that I don't want our Disney passes (maybe next year). Today after church...we have been trying to spend more time together on days we both have off...we decided to go ahead and head over and get our year passes and kind of scope things out. Part of the park is being redone (but will open by the time Kelly and Danny get here). But Don was so amused at seeing the chimps today because we were standing there and looking at them...when one that was sitting with it's back to us (on a log) reached around and grabbed poop from it's butt and ate it. He is still talking about it...you can tell we don't have kids! We are amused at the nastiest things!

Well That is my update and hope you had a better week than me! Hope this next one is better!
