Mid-Winter Update

The blog’s been quiet for a while and, now that we’ve passed Valentine’s Day, it time for an update.

• We had a pretty good Valentine’s Day at Ooma’s Cookie Jar. We met a lot of new people and sold a lot of pastries. V-day was good last year, too.
• Lee is recovering from minor eye surgery. She said that at the Eye Clinic, they called her “the baby” because she was the youngest of the patients, by far, having this type of procedure done during the day. A couple of the medical folks recognized her. One said, “Hey, aren’t you the one with the bakery in Spencer?” …and the other said, “Didn’t I see you on Phantom Gourmet?”
• Patrick and Art have entered into a month long project called Thing-A-Day. It’s where you are challenged to come up with, and post, something creative each day during February. You can see all the TAD’s at the main site or you can check their individual efforts here: Art’s Eyecup pageor Patrick’s Mojogoing page.
• Casey started Project 52. This is similar to Thing-A-Day, but is weekly and lasts a year (52 weeks, hence the name).
• One side benefit of trying to sell a house is that it’s always clean because you’re never sure when a prospect will want to see it. We like having a clean house all the time.
• Sales of Casey’s music CD, “Really, I Can’t Sing” are doing about as expected. Zero. That’s because it ‘s not something that was never intended to be sold. In fact, the original mission was to simply make a permanent recording of last year’s musical projects. It’s easy to forget songs if you don’t write them down; it’s easier to just record them. Casey’s working on a new batch of songs for 2010. Maybe there’ll be a Can’t Sing 2 sometime in the future.
