Miriam and her friend Yamit came up today, but they only stayed until late afternoon. Passover begins tomorrow at sundown, and Miriam wanted to be back in Chicago tomorrow morning. So they visited for a while, went over to see the railroad, got a ride on the electric car, had lunch, watched the DVD of the draining of Lake Delton, took a nap, got up and had some excellent carrot cake and Cherry Garcia FroYo and headed back. It is a four hour drive, but at least they have a beautiful day for it. Yamit left some schnitzel that I had for supper. Nice!
They had brought a dog with them, Maybe. That's the name -- Maybe. (Reminds me of a puppy we had once named Also.) Maybe looks like a miniature Pinscher, but she was frisky and friendly as could be. Needless to say, the cats were not amused. After Miriam, Yamit and Maybe left, it took a while before Sundance would come back in the house, and she had to investigate thoroughly to make sure the dog was gone.While we were at the railroad I poked my head in the shop and saw that a shipment has arrived. Fortunately Mary arrived at the same time, and she showed me how to print the new bar code price tags. So I will probably spend much of tomorrow unpacking, pricing and shelving stuff. It is supposed to be a decent weekend, sunny on Saturday and cloudy on Sunday, but 51 F both days (10.5 C). It is Easter weekend, and that means some schools are on break. A longer weekend will probably mean more tourists and more business for us.
Speaking of more business, the Gratian book had a little sales spurt today, a sign that the mailing that went out has arrived in people's mailboxes.
