Nice weather finally arrived. We took Saturday off for some fun. I coordinated another mystery day trip for church. The theme was “Tiptoeing through the Tulips”. We started the day at Simply Smuckers in Orville. I made a good find at the store, sugar-free breakfast syrup. Another shopper told me it was superior to any other sugar free syrup. They were right. It is delicious….

He made several good points…

Everyone seemed to have a great time. It went so smoothly. Of course, we were at the banquet hall most of the day dealing with final setup and logistics. The tables looked so elegant. Jim,…
