It has been a real interesting month here at the Treasure Map/Heartland Printing/Dunbar's
Office Supply/Cingular Wireless. Do you think we could be any busier? Yesssssssssssss.  I
also have boys tennis starting in a couple of weeks. We have been painting, stripping,
waxing. Joes' mom even put in a new sink for us last week and she helped us strip the
floors. She is wonderful and very handy. We have had a bunch of help from Virgil and
Connie as well. They come in a couple of times a week carrying their coffee cups to see
what is going on. We like to see them and they miss Joe. We should have our print shop
moved in totally by the time you get your Treasure Maps. We have new towns in this
month Wyanet which is just west of Princeton and Orion other side of Geneseo. So if you
are out shopping you can just head through Princeton and keep on down the road Wyanet
and Orion and beyond. I just returned from a coaching clinic in Lincolnshire and it was
wonderful. Several coaches from our conference went and had a good weekend. Of course
there was twice as much work to do when I returned but it was worth it. Virgil is feeling
better and Connie spent the night in the hospital a couple of weeks ago. The old birds heart
went to fluttering but she is OK. now. My dad Lawrence continues to pester my mother as
she has to do everything for him and he sometimes takes advantage but they love each other and the have been married for 54 years so something is working.  Today I dialed a wrong 800 number and I had it on speaker phone in the store, and someone  with heavy breathing was on the other end oops. I was laughing so hard I had to wait to  dial the real phone number. Our dog Jazz and new kitten have finally made friends. They  spend their days at home alone now as we do not work from home anymore and they really  seem to like each other now. They look out the window waiting for us to come home and want go out and play.  The other day I was changing our lettered sign out front and did not see the ice and went right down on my butt.  Lots of padding didn't save me I think I bruised my tailbone a bit.  Well that's it signing off TTFN.
