friday and a freebie

Have you heard about Wendy's selling to Arby's? Around here I never thought that Arby's was really doing that well so I am surprised that they have the money to buy Wendy's...but besides that, that means more Ohio jobs lost, Like we haven't lost enough already! I know that Ohio isn't exclusive to having high unemployment but even though I haven't read the statistics lately I think that Ohio has one of the highest unemployment rates right now! We've recently lost an airline, several distribution centers, and who knows what all else.... But anyway, back to Wendy's. The founding family isn't happy about the buyer I guess and lost their fight to prevent the sale as it was official last night. It's really too bad! You can read about the story here!

I haven't blogged much this week as it has been a busy week. Got the veggie gardens cleaned and partially in...waiting for the cold front to pass before I get the sensitive plants put in. Then I went to the Franklin Park Conservatory with my Grandma to see the Blooms and Butterflies exhibit. That was very educational as well as enjoyable. I watched a few butterflies hatching and learned a lot of things that I didn't know. For instance, a butterfly has to dry their wings for three hours before they can fly! I never knew that! It was really cool. Watching them emerge from their cocoon or whatever it is called was very neat. The room where they keep them is really humid as I guess butterflies need a lot of humidity (no wonder Ohio has a lot of butterflies in the summer!) and the window was all fogged up but it was cool to watch.

Then I went and picked up my grandson for the week and he keeps me pretty busy! He is so much fun! I agree with the old quote that I've heard that goes something like this..."If I knew how much fun it was to have grandchildren, I would have done that first!" Not verbatim of course because I can't remember exactly how it goes.

I was reading a book the other day and came across a quote that I really enjoyed and so am offering it as a freebie word art. If you like it, you can pick it up here. Or just click on the preview!


Have a great weekend!
