This past Thursday was something else! You know how the girl scouts have their yearly cookie fundraiser. Well Mimi's gym has their yearly plant sell. This is the first time I had done it. I thought I did pretty good selling just a smidgen over $200.00 worth of flowers, hanging baskets, veggies and herbs. Then there was Rhonda who brought the order sheets to her church and it took on a life of its own. She was able to sell somewhere in the neighborhood of $400.00 and another mom did even higher.
The real hard work came when we went to the gym Thursday morning to help and volunteer with filling all of these orders. All the plants were in our gym parking lot and the of course the weather did not help at all either. No snow but there was wind and rain and the temperatures was freeeeeezing!!! By the time my four hours were up, it was time to go home, eat a quick lunch before picking Mimi up from school, getting her ready to go back to school for the "Celebration of Learning/Raffle Basket" fundraiser night. For this past quarter her class had been learning all about South America and the Rainforest. The class has been working hard on doing a class play and Mimi got to play the Toucan. She was really jazzed about that. We also got a chance to see what they all are doing in their classroom. By 8:00 p.m. I was in bed fast asleep. I don't even know what time the girl went to sleep. It was a loooooong exhausting day for me 'n' dad,
