Greetings to everyone! Hopefully you are in the “joy of summer” mode, now that it has finally arrived. It has been a busy time at our house with Cody moving to Bellingham on one week, graduating the next (he, his girlfriend Kristine, and his aunt Shannon) from WVC, then my nephew and his family came for a visit from Denver (included the 100 mile bike ride at Chelan), and now our daughter and family from Vancouver are visiting for a week. They just came to earn the right to leave the dog while they make a quick trip to Idaho. Then later this month the 2 grandchildren from Bellingham will visit (without Mommy and Daddy) and then Sharon has VBS at our church. Meanwhile back at the store not a ton of new except the usual trying to make space for the back to school products. We have new neighbors finally, after months of remodeling, in the south end of their new building. Wesco, automotive paint and tools for collision repair, is the business and new building owner. They have the space between them and us for lease so if you know of a compatible business, education dent removal or the like, give them a call.
A few things going on in the community that we know of: A home schooling course at the college Tuesdays July 13-27 from 7-9 PM. Call 682-6900 or visit www.ced.wvc.edu
The tooth fairy will do book readings at the East Wenatchee Library on July 9th at 10:30 AM and again at the Wenatchee Library on the 22nd at 7:30 PM.
All Melissa & Doug floor puzzles on sale this month only, buy two get one free. That’s right buy two, give two, and you set aside a harder one for a Christmas gift and it costs you nothing! Unless you’re a grandma and you just have to let them have all 3 now. Reread last sentence using Eyore’s voice.
The Pumpinator was on our Facebook page and we are down to only 2 left. More are on the way now. The perfect thing for Summer fun! A child’s invention, a portable water balloon filler. Comes with 500 balloons and string to tie them while attached to the Pumpinator so you don’t break balloons accidentally or hurt your fingers trying to tie the balloon in knots. New order should be in by weeks end. Only $19.99.

New Webkinz should be arriving soon. Will post of Facebook when they do.
Our ever popular desk calendars will be here shortly. Will also post on Facebook. Am sad to announce though, that we will be requiring a $10 minimum purchase this year due to some higher costs, both for the calendar and shipping to get it here.
