Customer Service - The Excellent, the good, and the ugly.

There’s something to be said for great customer service.  It makes you feel great about your purchase and/or experience - regardless how much $$ you dropped!  A good sales person knows this.  They also know that if the deliver first-class service you will be loyal.  Take Albertsons for example.  Their prices are higher than all [...]

If I were an early bird…I’d get the worm…and the pancakes…

It’s almost 1:00 a.m. and here I sit “unwinding” before I go to bed.  Actually it’s the quiet I crave.  I’m sure there is good quiet in the morning hours too, but I’m afraid certain somebodies would awaken early and then it would be ALL OVER!
Anyway, someday, I will convert to being an early bird.  [...]

Date night!

So, we got a babysitter this weekend and thought we’d have a date.  I think the last time my husband and I did this was over Christmas when we had “built-in baby sitters” with his family.  Anyway, the trouble was we had absolutely NO IDEA what we wanted to do - except that the movies [...]

Catering a Party with help from Costco

A friend recently asked me what we fed our 40-50 guests recently at my mom’s 70th birthday party.  She is in the throws of planning a similar party and needed some ideas.  Here’s what we served…
1. Birthday Cake from Albertsons - normally they do an amazing job, but I don’t think they got the order [...]

One of the “Coolest Places on Ice?”

 Admittedly, I don’t read American Hockey magazine, so I’m taking Idaho IceWorld at its word that the magazine named our modest local ice rink one of the nation’s “Coolest Places on Ice” back in 2004. 
 Regardless, if you are looking for some family time with the kids, it might be worth the trek over to Idaho IceWorld [...]
