I realize that I am going to learn many things about this blog by trial and error. . .as is true in life! Today I am trying out how to put a title on the blog. You are all so clever at coming up with catchy titles. . . props to you all!
Good news for the day: At 3:00am we received an automated call alerting us to a missing 8 year old girl. She left her house around 9:30 pm without shoes and it was cold last night. They found her walking down her street toward her house at 3:37 am! No details other than a little girl was found.
Let's see if the title worked!

So today at the store (yes I got to work with Frankie ALL day. . .it was my lucky day!), a lady called inquiring for her "brother" if he could exchange an insulated bib for the correct size. He did not have a receipt, mmm that is the first red flag! Did he remember how he paid, I can look up credit/debit card transactions? Nope, hmmm second red flag! What type and size is it? An R38 size 44x36 and he needs a 44x30. Hmmm third red flag. . .they don't make that size in this bib! Fourth red flag, I am sure those of you wear a 36" inseam in a pant would never mistakingly purchase a 30" inseam pant. . .it works both ways. The fifth red flag was that a man had already made a run at returning an identical size of bibs (but in a style that size is made in) last week!!! I smell a rat!!!!
Why does this bother me? Because his work purchased them and Frankie talked to them more than once about sizing, but they were macho and new much more than we possibly could. Consequently, there is a man in bibs which are 6" TOO long and quite honestly 2 sizes too big around! Maybe next time he will listen?
Much love!

I am not sure if I will be able to post this. . .so we'll keep it short and sweet. With the transition into "empty nesters" in full swing, I find myself reading my family members' blogs more often. So this is a shout out to all of you who entertain us with your witty stories and informative blogs! Well, I will leave you with one short story and then we will see if I can figure out the way to post this!
Picture a VERY excited 5 year old going to lunch (yes at Subway) for her birthday. She is surrounded by her mom, dad, 3 year old sister, and baby brother. Talking loudly she exclaims, "This is the best birthday lunch ever!" Every comment is made loud and for ALL to hear. She definitely wants all the attention. Then she softens her voices, looks up at her dad, and simply states, "The best birthday present ever is that my daddy loves my mommy." I did not make this story up. Yes, I did fight back the tears and thought what a good mommy and daddy she must have.
Much love!
