Reel Fun

I did some mowing today with the reel mower.  I got the playground done as well as the area down to the playground and a patch heading out towards the shed.  It is a good work out.  Not just in the walking, but also in the arms and shoulders pushing through some of the thicker clumps.  It does not like the thick clumps or any little twig.  It took several hours to do the bit that I did.

I pulled the soap from the molds this evening.  They look good.  I also sliced the mint soap and have that drying some more.  Either tomorrow or Saturday, I will slice the coffee and honey.

I took Charlie and Bethany to visit Miss B in the hospital.  They couldn't hug her or touch her or even her bedding due to a procedure she had done involving nuclear medicine.  (There was a precaution warning above her bed.)  Tomorrow, they should be able to give her a hug.

We also took the children to piano and have decided to just let the rest of the month go.  L said it wouldn't hurt them any.  So, I am feeling a little less guilty.

George and I talked about the display table for the Farmer's Market and how we want it to look.  I need to call K and H and ask about a 6' banner for our table area.  I need to find out how much it will cost and if it can get by market.

And I just talked with him.  His machine is broken.  Hopefully, he can get it replaced in time for market.  If not, that means shopping around which I would really hate to do.  I know these people and know that this is most certainly a family owned business and they do good work.  They did stuff for La Leche League which came out really nice.  We still use the yard sign with the LLL logo for many different things.  Most recently, Earth Day.  So, I would like to keep giving them business where and when I can.

Anyway. among the other things discussed was business cards.  They have been ordered and should be shipped within a few days.

We've also discussed photos, the ingredient list which I mentioned previously, and brochures of some kind.  I need to look into brochure outlines and try to figure out what I would like on them.  I have a generalized idea, but I need something more concrete.  Once I start playing with it, I hope to get a better idea.
