Vacation

     So I mentioned last week about vacation.  I am pleased to announce that I will be taking a week off of blogging and join my family for vacation at the lakeside.  Doesn't that sound like fun?  From past experience I know that when you go on vacation you usually end up bringing half of your house....that's not the way it's supposed to work right?  So to avoid that kind of catastrophe I am looking for some advice on what to pack.  Sound like a good idea?  Well I'll list to you the items I am packing for sure...Just the necessity's right?  Let me see....

Towels
Camping gear
Marshmallow roaster

Reading glasses
Sun glasses

So What do you think of my packing list?  I know that I am going to have a blast just relaxing for a whole week with all of my family.  I will make sure to fill you all in when I return.  In the meantime I will look over my list and see if I missed anything.

Come and see me when I return!

     We all know how much fun it is to visit some one's house, so while I was sitting in my living room chair just about to read the newspaper the phone rang.  I got out of my favorite rocking chair and picked up the phone.  It was my mother.  She was calling to see if I wanted to come over to her house for tea and cakes tomorrow.  Well you know me anything with food involved I'm all for it.  I told her I would love to visit her.  She was thrilled.  I didn't want to just show up empty handed so I decided to get her a small gift from the store.  Since she was going to be doing some baking, I thought I could give her some new hot pads.  My little visit went very well and my mother just loved the gift.  With summer coming to an end my vacation is coming up soon!  I will tell you more next week.

 

  

My Mom just loved these potholders!

Sending a Card

With all the wonderful cards that we have here at the store, I decided to send a beautiful birthday card to my friend Claus.  Mice love getting things in the mail you know.  So, I know who I am going to send it to…but I don’t know which one to get.  There are so many different cards, I thought and thought and thought…what kind of birthday card would I like to get.  I like ones that make me feel warm inside and make me feel loved, not some of these goofy ones.......if you know what I mean.  Knowing how much Claus would love getting a birthday card that would make him feel special on his special day I put a lot of thought into just the right one.  I chose one that fit his personality just wonderfully, and I can’t wait to send it.  So if you ever need any kind of card stop at the store and check them all out!  There are so many I just know you’ll find everything you need.  That’s all for now, see you soon!

Fourth of July Picnic

     With the Fourth of July happening yesterday, I decided in honor of Independence Day I should organize a Fourth of July picnic.  What a wonderful idea, I thought to myself. So I invited all of my mouse friends to celebrate with me.  Now the only thing left to do was to prepare for it.  I must get the proper supplies for this special event.  So when you are going to have a picnic, you have to have a picnic basket for one thing, and for another, you have to have food supplies.  So I got my picnic basket out and started filling it with all the necessary things.  After a few trips upstairs I had everything I needed.  First I packed a blanket to sit on, then plates and cups, bug spray....you never know when you'll need that, and most importantly the food........FOOD! I live for food.  So I packed Cheese of course, crackers,corn nuts, popcorn, chips, and meat too....But there was something missing....mmmmmm....I know!  The best root beer known to mousekind...Millstream!  Oh yeah! That topped everything I need to enjoy this wonderful holiday.  I just can't wait for the fireworks!!!
