I just bought some anti-inflammatory meds for the puppers. We can’t get in to see the vet until the 23rd.

We discovered a lavender farm in our area and we buy their lavender soap all the time now. We love it.

This kinda reminds me of wedding decor tradeout I did with a rancher family. Daughter was family to one of the largest ranches in the Central Florida area. Her Dad came in to pay the balance (which was around $12k or so) and we got to talking about various things. He asked me if was willing to trade out that value for fresh produce/eggs/meat etc. I thought about for a day
and got back in touch with him and said I can’t store that much at my house but if I could stop by weekly/biweekly and get some product, I can certainly agree to that. He said sure , just let the farm hands etc know that this is our deal. I said perfect. So for the next almost 4 years, I got steak, chicken, pork, duck, eggs, veggies etc from him. It worked out great for both of us - he didn’t have to write a check out for the wedding and I got fresh items every week or so.

Barter is good

I came across a venetian statue which I thought was super cute so I bought it. His name is Harlequin, a Venice carnival character. Pretty cheap for a hand made statue from Italy. Should be here soon.
