what kind of woodpecker is this?
We were looking at binoculars while Rhiney played in binoculars in the lobby.
Birdwatching from inside the Lab of Ornithology
There are big glass windows and chairs and spotting scopes for you to use. And bubblers in the pond to keep the ice from forming.

234/365 Coraline ~ Christmas Cards
Rhiney is leaving tomorrow... We're sad to see him go, he was such a great companion to us all :) But he's going to be home for Christmas and that makes us happy :) Coraline decided that we have to make Christmas cards today so Rhiney can take one home with him :)

233/365 Coraline, Slinky and Rhiney are ready to go outside :)
They dressed up all warm and headed outside :) Only Pinkie didn't want to go outside. she poked her nose out and went right back in. I don't blame her ;)
232/365 Coraline ~ Black Friday
We stayed in PJs and watched TV, what did you do? ;)
For those who don't know what "black Friday" is. It's the Friday after Thanksgiving that stores are advertising big sales and open as soon as 4 AM . It's crazy out there I tell you ;) I tried to go out shopping once on a black Friday and will do never more :)

231/365 Coraline ~ Thanksgiving
Rhiney is visiting this week and Coraline was so happy that he could spend Thanksgiving with her and Slinky and of course Pinkie :)
230/365 Coraline ~ Bedtime stories
I was so busy today and didn't take the guys with, and when I came home I found them reading bedtime stories :) They said they had fun playing all day so I didn't feel as guilty...

Making plans :)
Coraline had to help me at work but the little guys decided they want to go outside. They weren't sure what they want to do, and since it was a little bit chilly....
229/365 Coraline "Rhiney, meet Slinky and Pinkie" :)
Rhiney was so pleased to meet the gang :) He was a little bit nervous because he never met anybody famous before ;)
228/365 Coraline "Rhiney is here!" :)
Coraline says, "Today we welcomed Rhiney at our home and he's going to stay with us for couple of days before he goes home for the Holidays :)
Rhiney came with his own traveling case and two diaries so we can read what he's been up to :)"
What a busy week...
Now that Rhiney has dabbled in the pet products industry, he has decided that although he detests cats there is big business in handling cats' business. ;-)

Japanese Supermarket
We stopped by to buy a couple Japanese crafting books.
Tanoshii!!
Mitsuwa is the largest Japanese supermarket in the US. It is a really neat store...
Rhiney-Candy Hander Outer
I stepped aside to let Lorena practice what I taught her....I took on another important responsibility...deciding who gets the chocolate!
I detest cats but...
I decided to help out! There are a lot of cats in this world and are in need of a place to go (if you know what I mean).
Rhiney's 1st Tradeshow
Rhiney decided he was ready to help me fine tune my selling skills. He observed my meetings in Detriot and decided that he could coach me. Rhiney was an honored guest at the tradeshow I attended today. The show is called PLMA Private Label Manufacturers Assocation. All the companies at this event manufacturer products for other companies (the company I work for does as well). A very busy show for Rhiney, he helped me negotiate with fragrance and packaging companies (which was very important since I have to use what they sell me as part of our products).

Rhiney & Chico 1st encounter
Chico thinks Rhiney was a piece of cotton candy....thus the crazy eyed stare
Where are we going
What a terrible commute! Over an hour to get home. (Still in Illinois, outside of Chicago.)
