Update
Dad called tonight. Mom found the gift card in question today in the bedroom we usually sleep in. ;-)
I didn't lose it. Which is a good thing.
I feel like less of an idiot. At least about that.
We did spend some time tonight at the Tulip Festival tonight. Or at least, wandering Holland. Rori likes Elephant Ears (sort of an un-funneled funnel cake for those not in or near the MidWest), and corn dogs.
I got a shower gift for my cousin Jennifer - some darling little baby leg warms and some Sunday-go-to-meetin' burp cloths. It was all very sweet stuff from the TipToes - possibly the cutest little Boutique in Holland. And now I don't have to knit. ;-)
There is also a spice shop there that I hadn't noticed before. They have a cinnamon that has a better aroma than any of the varieties Penzeys carries, AND they carry cacao nibs. Plus I got to page through the Gingerbread cookbook I'd been considering. Me likey.
I anticipate an aggravating summer, full of too many hours of week and too many aggravations in general. But in the meantime, I get to decide what to get with my Birthday money:
1. A dress form (I want the Uniquely You, I think)
2. A milk pasteurizer - in the interest of buying a cow share at a local farm that is milking Jerseys. It do make a difference.
3. A grain mill - reallyfresh flour
