Little Olivia Lynn is growing..gaining weight, growing out of clothes! She has started to smile in response to us! (of course, who wouldn't?). She is being systematically spoiled, wants to be held at all times and that is not a problem for any of us!

Down Town Des Moines Action

There are always so many things to do in the Des Moines area. Saturday there was the Downtown Farmers Market, the Dam to Dam classic race, and a new monthly event, Market Day. After reading about the Market Day in the Register, I decided to check it out. First impression was WOW what a crowd. It's located in an old warehouse building, 118 SE 4, just south of Court Ave. There were people walking from the Farmers Market to the Market Day event. The Market Street Media Foundry houses some businesses, plus leases space to artists. They are hosting this once a month event that is described as Art Fair meets Flea Market! There was a nice assortment of handmade items and vintage treasures. It will be the last Saturday of the month through September. Worth a Visit. Another new upcoming event-The First Annual Lobster Feed. Fresh lobster flown in from Maine!

Baby Olivia Lynn

This is a purely indulgent post. Our first grandchild was born yesterday, May 7. Her name is Olivia Lynn and she weighed 5 lbs, 8 oz., 19 1/4 " long. Isn't she beautiful?

A Merry Heart Does Good Like Medicine....

We went to Jeffrey Gitomer's seminar last Friday. He speaks to sales people about winning techniques. Two things I picked up on - using laughter and humor, and the sending of an email newsletter or "ezine". So I came back to the office and googled Des Moines ezine. You'll never guess what the top result of that search was... Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor! Did you know there was such a group? Does anybody read ezines? I'm curious about both. There are links on the ezine to different articles. One is laughing more to burn calories, also pace while you're on the phone and gesture wildly while you talk! Isn't it good to know by spending more time on the phone you could loose weight? Now lower the thermostat and drink cold water and you're burning even more calories!

How many blondes does it take to change a light bulb? Blonde says, "Change it into what? Just buy a new lamp, silly"

The blonde woke up to find her house on fire...she dialed 911 and said "come quick my house is on fire"...the 911 operator said "how do we get there?"...the blonde said "on the red fire truck, duh...."

When you're in need of a Realtor, call the Eisenlauer Team. Bill at 770-2455 or Bob at 979-2883 They love to laugh. And....Bill's a blonde.. if there's any doubt we will tell you Blonde Bill real life stories!

April Fool's Day Pranks...

Did you get tricked yesterday?? I love April Fool's Day, but some people let it slide by un-noticed and un-celebrated. Are you one of those? Or did you "punk" someone? I'd love to hear some good safe pranks. We sent out 400 letters about our new endeavor of raising rattlesnakes for fun and profit. We included an envelope of sample rattlesnake eggs. (Actually a very simple trick - a piece of wire,holding 2 rubberbands and a metal washer. The washer gets wound around, twisting the rubber band, when the envelope is opened the washer unwinds making a rattling sound against the paper envelope.) Seems innocent . We got one call from a very nervous person who had hurriedly put the "eggs" in her garbage tote, and was hopeful that the weather was cold enought that they wouldn't hatch before next Tue. when the garbage truck comes! My least favorite trick is when my boys put a rubberband around the sprayer hose in the kitchen sink. Of course - I'm the only one that uses it and gets a surprise shot of cold water front and center. I HATE it - and they think it's hysterical! What's your favorite prank?

NO JOKE - The Eisenlauer Team is easy to work with...hard to beat!
