We had dinner at Fresh Brothers Pizza the other night. I have to say, it was FANTASTIC.

Always endeavoring to create a new invitation concept, Egba Originals has done it again!
Egba’s latest creation is the Storybook Invitation. Using crayon drawings and the rough outline of a story made up by two boys and their mom, Egba fashioned a custom invitation work of art for a 2nd birthday party. A custom bookmark serves as the Invitation while tying in with the forward and storyline of the book. The birthday party featured a reading of the book and a signing by the boys. Egba can take any story a client has in mind along with their illustrations and fashion a custom, event specific storybook. If the client chooses, Egba can create the entire package including original story and artwork. Egba custom Storybook Invitations are available in hard and soft cover versions! Let Egba Originals know when you are ready to bring your storybook invitation to life.

AnJ plumbing
After seeing Jens List member refer them over and over, I called them last week to fix a leak outside. I have to say they were terrific! Even if you don’t need a plumber right now, SAVE THIS INFO…you never know when it will come in handy. Here are the other reviews I have rec’d in the past:
Referred by Jens List member ninasavelle@aol.com – after finding them on Jens List!
“They were AWESOME. They arrived on time, were thorough, explained everything and were reasonably priced. I really appreciate being able to call a new plumber with confidence.”
and also jiran.saevitzon@yahoo.com – after finding them on Jens List!
“After seeing their post on your list I called them up to fix my kitchen faucet which had a leak. I had also called another company who had just left my house and quoted me $570 to replace the inner tube of the faucet. A n J came out right away within 30 minutes of my call to them and replaced the tube for $85. I can’t thank them and you enough. I am now a huge fan and I hope everyone uses them in the future.”
And also knmaddy@pacbell.net
“I had them out yesterday. Jose and Miguel took care of all my plumbing needs. They even waited for my husband to run out and get a part needed with out charging for time. They were so reasonably priced. I’m so glad you referred them to me. Thank you sooo much. By the way, I called 5 different plumbers before I decided. So glad I went with AnJ.”
