For selling cub scout popcorn ($600 worth), I got a “Tasco” microscope/telescope combo! It is fully awesome in every way! Through the telescope, I saw the moon, Venus, and Jupiter. Moggie was looking through the telescope and all she saw was blue, so we named a new planet, “Blupiter”. The microscope is also fully awesome. you can see up to 900x the original size, and make your own slides. It also comes with a dropper, a spatula, a scalpel, and a dissection probe (to get specimens from non-living things). To preserve what you put in the slides, it comes with one bottle of gum, one bottle of methyl orange, and one bottle of methlyene blue. The slide I made was oak leaf, and it looks really cool up close. This set comes with an erecting eyepiece. You hold something up to the far end and look look through the near end, and it magnifies the specimen 14x. I ran around the house and yard forever looking at every thing in sight with that thing! The microscope is really going to help with my science Co-op, because we’re studying cells and classification. Just one last time, This set is fully awesome!!

Mmm… coffee!

Our broken-down, old coffee maker has been replaced with a BUNN! Now, we can drink more coffee! The new coffee maker was sent to us by an anonymous source… it just popped up on our porch by magic (not literally)! If the person who sent us that BUNN is reading this, THANK YOU!
