Phoenix Ranch Market





Last night I was going through the random junk mail and coupons that so quickly accumulate in our home when I stumbled upon this announcement.

Phoenix Ranch Market Grand Opening. Prize to first 1000 customers Wed-Sunday. 6am-11am. 


Now, I had only recently found out what Phoenix Ranch Market was. It's a Mexican Grocery Store. A HUGE one. With buckets of lard, all signs in Spanish, and produce from Mexico proudly displayed. This place is truly a marvel. Especially if you speak Spanish. Which Brad does. And his friend Vanessa, who originally introduced Brad to this place. 
Well, they opened another location. And this morning, Brad and I woke up after 2 whole hours of sleep, picked up Vanessa and drove to PRM. For our prize. We were so excited wondering what exactly they give someone when not describing a prize. 
Chiclets?
Tortillas?
A churro?
A spinning plastic top?

We were cracking ourselves up wondering what treasure we woke up for this morning. We bought fruit drinks and donuts and pan (bread) and avocados for 25 cents and paper towels for 33 cents. And then we went outside for our prizes.


I got a canvas bag. Brad chose the hat. And Vanessa got Rancho, the mascot of PRM, a bull. Such an exciting morning.
Next on the agenda was IKEA for our free breakfast with THAT coupon, but apparently they don't open until 9. And we arrived at 7:30. So instead we went home and went to bed. We'll do IKEA another day. :o)

These two new posts are enough to send a concerned set of parents into a tailspin.
First you AND your brother are up during daylight hours and awake BEFORE noon and then you can't sleep???? Tell me who REALLY this is..... I know this is not my children.
