You probably don’t really care what’s going on with my kids but I’m going to list the latest cuz I really like them. Emma pulled out her first molar yesterday. (Yuck) She’s got two days left of her last summer school class and then we get to have her all to ourselves for all of August! Andrea plays in the championship game for YEA softball today and she’s super pumped! One more yoga class and she will be class free as well. We are ALL excited for August! Not only are there no classes but we have a Griswold-esque road trip planned and we can’t wait! We’re doing the west circuit-Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa then home. We will be hitting the corn palace, the badlands, Wall Drug, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Devil’s Tower, the Black Hills, Deadwood City, Yellowstone NP, Grand Teton NP, white water rafting in Jackson Hole, several hotel pools and, most importantly, several restaurants featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives!

If you can’t tell by my lengthy description, WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!

I’m headed to Viroqua this afternoon to do some interviewing. I may be crazy, but I enjoy interviews. Of course, I probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much from the other side of the table. But it’s fun to get a little piece of someone’s personality. In fact, if they don’t give up a little piece of their personality in the interview, I don’t hire them. We are a social store and we want everyone to be themselves. So if you know someone in the Viroqua area that would be a good fit and is looking for work, send them my way!

Here is this week’s trivia question. (Thanks, Joe!) In what Wisconsin city is it illegal to wake a sleeping fire fighter? I haven’t decided what the prize will be this week so you’ll just have to stop in to find out!

Have a great Sunday afternoon!

Thanks to a wonderful guest at the La Crosse store, I already have a trivia question for next week! That’s right, I won’t be late with it-but I’m not going to tell you now.

So Lance put the tent up in the back yard. My main firefighter stoked up the fire pit and we toasted marshmallows and ate smores. Then we got to cozy up in the tent and play Uno and Go-Fish in the insufficient lighting. We read a little Harry Potter and tucked in for the night. The only problem we had was that someone turned off the heat this July and it got down right frigid out there. When the train went by at 4AM and woke me up, I boogied into the house for a potty break and another stack of blankets.

It was really fun and the girls enjoyed it. We’ll keep working on scheduling a real beach camping date. There’s still a lot of summer left!

In case you haven’t noticed, the crew and I have a team in the La Crosse Relay for Life this year. Cole’s Cheesy Crew will be walking for cancer and we need your support. There are donation jars at both stores and we are selling soft chewy Tootsie rolls 4 for a quarter to raise our donation total. We are really excited about it! Help us do some good and fight cancer.
