Sad Winter Fest

This year wasn't much for the annual winter festival here in Mayville. 

But, due to a lack of snow and ice, our usual massive ice castle ended up as a joke as one of the locals brought out the improvised wooden castle they started using a couple of years back that they created for times like this.

It's adorable, don't get me wrong, but it's so mediocre in comparison to the real thing. Hopefully, next year would be better, even though these last few years, it's hard to say.

 

Valentine's-Baby

This day had been trying for my whole family. 

By the way, Happy Valentine's Day, Journeyers. Well, the day after.

Anyways, yesterday was Valentine's Day, very nice to spend time with my husband throughout the morning before he had to go to work. 

But then, we got word that my brother's girlfriend started going into labor around 3pm. Mom and I went up with the baby bag to see how she and my brother are doing. It would have been nice if the baby arrived on the 14th, for my family, it was symbolic, since it was my grandparents' anniversary. Sadly, by 10:30 that night, the doctors stated they wanted to wait til morning.

Well, around 4:45 in the morning, I get a text from mom going on about the baby was coming, and at 4:58, another message saying he's here.

So, I'm guessing between 4:45 and 4:55, little Matthew Scott Madison, made his presence
known.

Welcome to the world, Matthew!

Craziness at Work

 Oh my God, journeyers. Tonight was crazy at work.

 A customer came in earlier, acting not all there. He made a small purchase and left. 

No soon after, another customer came in letting us know that someone drove over the bank and into the fence at the side of the property. Needless to say, the man from earlier was tripping so badly he didn't know where he was going.

Sadly, had to get the authorities involved and notify both the manager and the District Manager. What a way to end the night!
