HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBEY!

What a big day today is! Abbey's 7th birthday! I can't even imagine life without her, or what it was like before she became a part of this family. What a special, delightful, beautiful little girl she is. She decided that for her birthday tonight she wanted to have Chinese for dinner, so her family came to the car cruise and we had Chinese at the shop. The DJ at the car cruise called her over and gave her a coupon for a Dairy Queen cake! After we closed the shop, we had to go to Carry's Delights for a little ice cream - YUM! Abbey in her new "teenage" outfit!

The other day, Abbey went to our Terry's house to play with her little girl - Shey. When we went to pick up Abbey, Ashley let Shey hold Lucy. She had never held a baby before, so it was quite a new experience and so precious. Shey and Abbey had a ball! Terry helped them bake cookies and the danced to CHRISTMAS music while they were baking.

Tonight Dick and I went to meet with the contractors that will be working on our new "home". They have the entire space "gutted" and will be starting construction on Sunday. If all goes as planned, we will be ready to paint and carpet in about a month. Can't wait for the partitions to go up so we can get a better idea of what furniture we are going to take with us. This is going to be quite the adventure and we hope to make our new home prim perfect!

Work was so much fun today. Debbie came to spend a good part of the day and then Terry came with more goodies and spent the rest of the day. She is bringing more tomorrow! I had lots of business - which is always fun - and met lots of new customers. I hope to have more pictures of shop wares tomorrow to share with all of you.

BUT for tonight, I'm ready to snuggle up with my p.j.'s and get some rest. Sleep tight and have good prim dreams.

Until next time...
