We recently had the pleasure of being asked to provide finger foods for a local company's grand opening. Trouble is we just found out last week and it's this Friday late afternoon/evening. So our weekend was pretty much prep, prep, prep, what we could ahead. The next couple of days will be a little chaotic but only in a good way. We weren't sure how many of the 200 people invited to this event would actually be coming but at least now we know it's somewhere between 85 and 120. We can work with that.
Throw my card job into the mix and it gets even more interesting. Besides my regular calls to three stores in town, we are also setting up in a couple of new stores as well as replacing another card company in a few existing stores as well. Today I will be traveling to Summerside to help out there and then on Wednesday at another location in town. My own calls will have to wait till Saturday, after Friday's event.

The weekend was busy with prep for this Friday's event but we did take some time out for a bit of entertainment as well. We enjoyed an evening of fun and frivolity at the International Shellfish Festival with Brenda and Bernie, to help celebrate Brenda's birthday. A good time was had by all.

| Lots of music and dancing... |

| ...lots of beer... |

Our Sunday was slightly quieter, and moved slightly slower, being as we still had work to do and we didn't get home till midnight the night before! Our friends Jens and Linda came over for coffee in the afternoon and ended up joining us for homemade pizza. It had been a while since we'd seen them so it was nice to get together and catch up.
Better go, I have to get to Summerside this morning. Wish us luck this week!
