so

after my funny dream on thursday night, we ended up eating at grampa’s pizza on friday. we got there mere minutes before it became so busy that people were lined up out the door waiting for a seat!
we decided not to split a pizza, but each got our own. gil’s making his own meats, so matt thought he ought to go that route. i got the barberini. it was a really good pizza. we’ll definitely be back with bigger stomachs.
saturday morning, we got up, walked the dogs, and spent too much money and time doing errands.
we needed sand for the chicken run. i had read that the layer should be 6″, which meant we needed 32cu/ft of sand. imagine my surprise when we got to menards and the cost of that much sand came to about $160! since we’re budgeting for an unknown electrical installation cost, we opted to get 6 bags to see how far that would get us. matt also grabbed two huge “under bed” storage containers to use as litter boxes.
then, i was hungry and needed to eat before mounds. so i suggested a little cafe on monona drive called crema cafe. when we pulled up, i saw my cousin and his girlfriend getting out of his car! i run into them occasionally, and it always surprises me that it doesn’t happen more often.
i got the morning salad… not worth $8, but it was still yummy.
then we went to mounds to get food for the chickens, dogs, and cats; these animals are spendy.
then, off to woodman’s for human food. by the time we got home, it was almost 2:30! i cleaned up the kitchen, put away food, then helped matt sand and straw the run, fill the water, and treat the chickens with a cabbage.
