Last night was the final night for The Garage and it certainly went out with a bang! Jeff ran a thank-you in the Alert and mentioned we were having free pizza and pop, plus they did a front page article with big picture, so people turned out. At one point, Dad counted 65 kids, plus over 10 adults. It was noisy!  We got the pizza from Walmart for $5.00 a piece – 20 of them, and heated them up, one after the other, all night! 35 liters of pop, too, plus a bunch of cookies. And we gave away candy bars as Bingo prizes. We also had over 30 door prizes, so we drew names and gave away things like basketballs, Kwik Trip gift cards, etc. It was quite the bash. The paper came a took a picture of all the kids in a group, and it was quite the crowd.

We didn’t get packed for our trip, because we didn’t know until yesterday if we were going to be able to close on the house, because of some sort of a glitch with the sellers and the estate the house had been part of. It was inherited by two brothers… Anyway, they got it cleared up, so now we know what tools to bring, so we will finish packing this a.m. My packing didn’t get done because I had an accompaniment that was given me yesterday for an audition right after we get back, so I spent a while getting that put together into a booklet and practicing it some, then she emailed and said they wouldn’t need me after all. But it had already made a big hole in my already busy day, which also included lessons, then the party. But we aren’t on any sort of a schedule, and it is now 6:15, so we’ll get off by 9:00, I would say.

We’ll keep you posted via phone texts!
