FBCU dinner

Last night Tony and I went to the Farm Bureau Credit Union kick-off dinner of their 75th anniversary. He was invited because of being on their Supervisory Board. It wasn't in my top 10 things I wanted to do last night but it turned out to be a very enjoyable evening... rich with history and so that was neat. Apparently the FBCU was started by 13 individuals who were gathered together around a pot belly stove 1932. Seven of those folks agreed to pay the $5 membership fee. Three of them could pay right away, the others made payments. Anyway, the story goes on with the ending being what FBCU is today. To commemorate the 75th the volunteer board members are all receiving a chiminea (a new word for me). That was really nice wasn't it?



Today I went grocery shopping and spent over $100 on groceries! I haven't gone to the store in about 2 weeks and we were out of white milk for a week now. Quinn was complaining because our "refrigerator is bare!" Not any more.

I also went and helped in Madison's class and spent all my time photocopying. It is a time consuming process. I wonder what photocopying will be like in 20 years? Surely faster than it is now.

So anyway, I just thought I would catch you up on our lives. We don't have big plans for the weekend. Tony worked 19 hours last weekend (Sat & Sun) so I'm hoping he won't have to work that much this weekend.

Love to all, Leah
