The Big Sale, part 2

Here are just SOME of the cinnamon rolls mom made this morning for the bake sale. Don't they look just delicious? The house smelled WONDERFUL when I got here today! Here is a picture of the poster we had made for our display at the sale. Bella is just soooo beautiful! We all keep kissing her picture! I colored her name pink, and then covered it in pink glitter, so it really pops! doesn't show up as well in the photo, but it looks great in person.




Today has been busy also. J and I got up this morning and took a bath together. It is most interesting trying to get this done alone, since R went over the road and is not home much anymore. Then we stopped in at the Kwik Shop, where the ladies fawned over J as usual. They just love to spoil him there, and he eats it up and flirts up a storm. Then it was back over to mom's house to work on the sale some more. After J laid down for his nap, I went back to the Kwik Shop for drinks and then stopped in to see my old buddy Sav, who was my high school history teacher. We had a nice long chat. He is just the coolest guy. I told him about Bella and about our sale and he went to the back of his shop and got out a little decorative wood wheelbarrow with hearts for the sides. He donated it to the Bella sale. Just such a great guy.

As soon as I got back to mom's we got a call from Uncle P. He needed me to run him down main street for an errand. So we went and did that, and had quite a nice chat along the way. I really love my uncle P, and value his insight. He's awesome. Can't begin to tell you what it means to me to have them back living near us again! Background: The McC's are a family that have been friends with my family since I was about J's age or so. My nicknames for them are Uncle P and Momma C. Thier oldest daughter grew up with me in her daily life for the first four years and always called me "Sissy," so I call her my little sister. Thier younger daughter came along after I was grown and we didn't live near each other anymore, so the "Sissy" thing didn't catch on with her. But several years ago she asked her parents to make me her god-mother. So, all in one family I have a mom, an uncle, a sister and a god-daughter. Sounds like we come from Arkansas, but I promise it's not like that!

So then we all had lunch together and I went outside to sort and price some items for the sale. We have borrowed two large hay trailers for the sale, and I have about half of one priced and arranged. Lots of work to go, and more baking and cooking. But we will get it done. I'll be pretty busy tomorrow, but I'll try to post againg tomorrow night or Sunday and let you know how it went, and post some pictures. Me and J and Grams are having a sleepover with Mom tonight. I am really looking forward to that.

Wish us luck! Thanks for keeping up with me!
