Normally, on Sunday's, we don't open until noon, but as has been the norm these last two weeks, I went in early as I had a LOT of work to do thanks to all the on-line holiday shoppers out there! I really must say THANK YOU to all who have ordered from us! We appreciate your business more than you know!
Greg brought Aaron and Erica in to help me (and himself, of course!), before Aaron and Greg had to go to work. Erica stayed with me to finish packing up all the orders. We also had to make some Dip Gift Sets. OK, well, not just some, but THIRTY of them! So, once we had all the orders done, we went to town making the dip gifts. The mall closes at 5 p.m. on Sundays, and so do we. However, Erica and I were there until 6:30 so we could get everything done.
Once we stopped at the grocery store to get stuff for dinner (tacos), we had to pick Abby up from her friends' house where she spent the last two days playing and riding snowmobiles.
I suppose by now you're wondering about the title to this entry . . . well here's the reason. Aaron went out to take care of the animals and decided to let the chickens out today, even though it's entirely too cold and they don't like the snow. They won't walk on it if they don't absolutely have to, and I can't blame them, as they have NO insulation on their feet. Well, as I was pulling into the driveway, I noticed something under the 5er. I shined my lights on it, and it turns out it's a chicken! Oh, and not ONE, but TWO chickens! Granted their coop isn't exactly toasty in this cold weather, but it protects them from the wind and there are two heat lamps in there, along with their food and water. We lose a chicken or two every winter, but it's almost always because they didn't get into the coop for the night and they died of exposure. Well, Abby and I had to CRAWL under the camper to get at the two hens that were there! Because I left my truck lights on so WE could see, the chickens could also see, and were NOT pleased with us trying to grab them!
We DID end up getting both hens and did a quick check under the deck and around the coop, and a head count tells us that all the chickens are back where they belong. I must say, that was the first time I ever crawled underneath the camper in the dark, in winter!
That's about it. Nothing much more going on around here! Oh, I have to mention here . . . I'm getting more ornaments in the store! I ordered them last night and hope to have them before the end of the week! Anyone looking for RV ornaments, keep checking our store site as once they come in, I'll immediately have them available! If anyone would like to "pre" order them, go ahead and do so and I'll ship them immediately once they come in!
Well, it's after 9 and I need to eat dinner, so I guess that's it for now!
Stay warm everyone!
Julie
