Isn't it time for a vacation?????

WOW....up early this morning. The crew arrived at 7:30AM and I had to be at a local eatery at 8 to arrange for 10 full slabs of BBQ ribs for the 1st Lady's sorority Valentine Party tomorrow evening. It is a party for members and spouses, so at least I will get to eat some.

Then back to TheHowserHouse to meet with the contractor and explain to him what the 1st Lady and I made decisions on last night: mirror placement, overhead light changed, where the in-the-wall plasma tv will be placed for our best viewing, how we want the floor from the living room extended into the tv room before making the steps down into the room, a slight change in the vanity top placement, and a discussion as to where the speakers of the surround sound system will be place in regards to the new sectional couch. Not tooooo much.....was it?

Then down to the city center to have lunch with the HS Choral Director(a former student of mine) and my former band asst. who became the head band director when I retired. He since then has taken a position with one of the local churches. He, too, was a former student of mine. Soooo, it was a good lunch, a great time reviewing our years working together for, and with, the great students we had when we all three taught together.

Then the afternoon flew by as I attempted to find a decent flight schedule for the first weekend in March. We may not be so lucky.....and not be able to leave, but I sure as hell hate to lose those vouchers which are worth $650 on Northwest Airlines.

Then when the 1st Lady returned home from school.....it was off to Farmington. We had to purchase a necessary item....the toilet for the bathroom. Then we looked at carpet, ceramic tiles, and other things for the house. Back to TheHowserHouse by 9pm and then finished out watching the Olympics. Tomorrow it is off to the city again.......surprise, surprise!! Tomorrow night is the BBQ Valentine's dinner......and soon it will be Monday before we have had time to catch our breath.

And as I always say......and I always mean it......

Life is Great......and I hope it is for all of you, also.
