Ok, so before I ever thought we would have a chance to win the best breakfast spot category, I had this idea to ensure a victory. Do you remember how I told you how my kids insisted I was such a bad singer? Well, I was going to go around to every table and sing. I would let everyone know I would continue to sing until they voted for us to be there favorite breakfast diner. Fortunately for all of you, we won anyway. 

Thank you so much. 

We took first place by over a hundred votes. To show my appreciation I am going to donate a $1000 to charity. Please email me with a charity of your choice and the first 10 to 20 charities will get $50 to a $100.

By the way, Chanel 40 is coming in Monday at 8:00 AM to interview us.

Do you think I should sing for them?

Apr 18 - 24

Ok, so a few weeks ago I let it be known that I introduced Cooper to Jake the parakeet. Well, Cooper has let it be known that his friendship is not what it appears. Jake just loves Cooper and always wants to fly to him when I let him out of his cage. I always make sure that I hold Cooper when I let Jake out and sometime Jake will land on my head to be close to Cooper. Cooper, however, wants nothing more then to eat Jake. I try to explain to him that if he eats Jake, their friendship is over and he and I will be sleeping in the goat barn for eternity. I also try to explain to Jake that Cooper just thinks he is a snack, but they both get so excited to see each other, I continue to take chances.
