Sunday night

Well it's Sunday night and the dogs are about to go out for one last potty break, but I thought I would check in with the happy bloggers. It has been several days since I have logged in. It sounds like you all have had a fun and busy week. I am jealous. Not much happening up here. Saturday was the Liberty Heritage Festival. Sharon came up and passed out flyers on the square advertising Quiet Moments. She walked and stood and talked for hours. She is a great worker bee and she's cheap. She did it for a $5.00 lunch. A fellow co-worker and myself did 10 minute foot massages or head & face massages for a $7.00 donation to MoKan Border Collie Rescue. It started out slow, but we did get a few takers and a couple of people actually wrote us checks for $50.00. All in all we made about $175.00 for the group. I am hoping I will get some new clients from the flyers. The weather was perfect for a festival, but the crowd was a bit thin. They did the Jesse James bank robbery re-enactment three times. Liberty was the site of the first daylight bank robbery. The gang, on horseback, came up the alley beside QM and then rode down Water street to the Jesse James Bank Museum and robbed it, then raced back up Water in front of QM with guns blazing. It was kind of fun, but very loud. The horses were beautiful and the guys cute, so I guess it was a perk for the day. This neck of the woods, for some reason, really celebrates ole Jesse. Kearney has an entire festival named after him that goes on for two weekends in September. They also have a park named after him and a road, well the road is actually called Jesse James Farm Road because it goes up to the farm where he grew up, but Excelsior Springs has a road named Jesse James Road. Go figure. Well I hope everyone has a great week ahead and are back into their routine after fabulous roadtrips.

Bravo Fiddler! Congratulations on raising $175.00 for MoKan Border Collie Rescue. It was nice, but typical,of Sharon to work so hard to help you. She could be in sales. She is a natural. I hope the flyers will bring new business your way.
