Greetings, neighbor!

If you’ve been paying attention, you might be asking - Why is this a Weekly Buzz? Weekly Buzz comes out on Sunday,. On Saturday, you’re supposed to send the WeekEND Buzz!

Well, there’s a good reason for that.

I promised you a feel-good story for today, and I’m still waiting on some information to do the story justice. So, in hopes I acquire that information in the next 24 hours, I’m going to make an executive decision and swap days for this week. Fingers crossed it all works out.

Shameless Plug

I don’t do a lot of these, but I did want to let you know that the children’s book I told you about a few weeks ago will be coming out very soon, and we are having a pre-launch party on Sunday, 5/22, at the Made in Burlington Store. If you’ve got a young kid in your life, I bet they’d enjoy both the event and the book. And, since I’m completely flying by the seat of my pants, you can sit on the edge of your seat with me and see if the books I ordered actually arrive on time.

Even if not, there will be refreshments and coloring pages and an opportunity to pre-order. Hope you can make it!
