Later that day I found that the bridge to Prairie was closed. I was very concerned because of my heavy Wisconsin schedule. Without the bridge I would have to drive all the way to Dubuque and then back up, so about 3 hours just to get to Prairie. Fortunately it opened up later that day.
Monday- Back to the Farm to School grind. This time we are doing honey. Julie Trimpe presented on beekeeping with her 5 year old daughter Cora in tow. Cora was a little needy at first but by the end of the day she had the presentation memorized and was taking over. The kids sample was honey popcorn.
Tuesday- What a great day. It almost felt like the life I remembered in January, before I started working for the extension. Back when I was less busy and happy. I see it coming again in the future, but this was a taste. I started my day early with a meeting at the extension. Then I rushed off with Link to library. He learned about worms and made a creative crawl to show everyone. Then Link and I went to Old Man River to try out the new menu. Pretty tasty. After putting Link down for a nap I had a meeting at Fire Farm to discuss social media marketing. Then I went to YOGA. First day in three months. Afterwards Link and I went to the movie store and got Wreck it Ralph.
Wednesday- I started my day at the extension. I didn't have that I was coming in so my co-irker (totally stealing that from you Debbie) made a point to yell at me. If she had known I was coming in she would have slept in more. Mind you I was on the schedule to fill in for her later that day and if she said she wanted to be gone the whole day I would have. So note to self, if I work more unscheduled hours I'm going to get yelled at for inconveniencing others. I worked until 5 then I had to drive to Prairie for a wellness meeting at Prairie Catholic School. They had a couple of speakers there who wrote a nice hard cover, photographed cookbook to support there wellness committee. Then I cut out early and went back to the extension for a board meeting and a speaker on a guy who set up a way to transport farmer's foods in a truck and cover the costs without burdening the farmers.
Thursday- Crazy day. Joan was sick so we scrambled to find a place for Link to go. Bryce was filling in for me at Whimsy all week because Sadie was taking her massage therapy boards. We finally got Trish and Richard for part of the day. For the first time in Anna and my Farm to School career the farmer who scheduled to be there wasn't there. We had to scramble to get a slide show, but we had samples. After we were done I went to Waukon (again) this time for a blood test.
Friday- I started my day with Farm to School again and then I got done early so I went to Whimsy to relieve Bryce. I spent most of the time finishing up taxes. I am pretty sure I am losing one of my vendors so it has been on my mind a lot. That night Link and I went to Burger Barn, which recently opened for the season. It is still so cold though, the place was populated with teenagers, all shivering in their cars. Then Link and I went to Grandma and Grandpa Dallenbach's house.
Saturday- Link spent all day at all day at Grandma and Grandpas while I did the store and worked on paperwork. Lots of people came in and were very chatty. One guy in particular whose daughter was shopping for prom dresses (and did end up buying one). I know feel like I know all I need to know about riding lawn mowers, cowboy boots, and Dyersville. I felt guilty not being at the St. Paul Fashion Mart or the Decorah Women's Weekend but I wanted to work at least one full day at the shop.
