Mark jokingly said to bring two checks because he didn’t want to pay for me… and the waitress believed him…. shoot.
This past weekend Mark had a booth at a Family Fair in Ripon. It was such a blast to see people check out the things he has been working on and appreciate his creativity.
They made a mistake and put that “Mark and Andrea Ziesel” were going to be there but they should have known that there is absolutely no way I could make any of that stuff. I manned the printer and tied the price tags on. And did a darn good job!
Anyway, Mark did a great job setting everything up and people seemed to love his craftsmanship.
This past weekend one of my good friends made it up to Northern California for a visit. After days of posting funny high school pictures on Facebook, Heather and her husband Chris came to visit Ripon and then continue on to Oregon to see our friend Amanda. We figured what better activity than a little Lodi wine tasting. We had such a blast and are so glad they came to visit – now to plan our visit down south!
Earlier this week Mark flicked something at me. Fortunately it missed and hit the passenger window instead. And it looked like a booger.
I was horrified. He was laughing and laughing.
He told me me to pick it off the window; no way Jose.
When I asked why he flicked the booger at me, he just laughed and said
So that you could have a little bit of me on you.
Somehow he turned a possible booger into a sweet sentiment (kind of).
So weird. But I love him.
PS. This is an isolated incident. I do not normally get boogers flicked at me. We were just having a weird day.

Baby Brynn showed up to the weekend BBQ. Mark monopolized her for two hours and nobody else got to hold her.
