Mini Homestead Happenings for 7/15/2009

Posted by Shannon Buck on July 15, 2009

I asked Zowie if she purchased the Suffolk tee shirt that she was wanting. She said no, but that she had purchased three tee-shirts for $10.00 while in Boston. Not bad.

Big day:

Super Wal*Mart opens in Bangor, and Harry Potter begins playing. I am waiting to see Harry Potter with Zowie. She is taking me for my birthday.

Big weekend:

Zowie and her friends Hanna and Schmo will be meeting me here, as will my daughter Skye and her boyfriend. We are all going up to a friends camp for the weekend where there will be four other adults and five children. We always have a great time while there. The camp is on a lake.

Hope you are all having a nice week!

Shannon
