Aug 20, 2010: A really fun evening.....

Yesterday........again, not much happening here in TheHowserHouse. The 1st Lady went out to the Hanner House to assist with changing the dressing on Dave's burned arm and hands. He seems to be doing much better.....just being at home is a PLUS PLUS PLUS!!!!!

Later during the day she joined a local gym here in town as she feels she needs to "get back in shape".......I think her shape is just fine!

I did clean the house, vacuuming, emptying the trash cans, putting some things back away that have laying around for a few days.......and then put the oil and gasoline in the new mower. I started it up.....probably shouldn't have done that as it did entail some pulling to get it going the first time.....but, it runs just fine. Obviously, I didn't take it out of the garage.....THAT I won't do as I am under fairly strong orders to NOT mow a lawn for six weeks after this last surgery.

Around 7:30pm.......Amy Miller Rauls came by, as planned, to discuss her upcoming trip to Europe: London for pleasure and then to Denmark for business(Boeing). We talked, laughed, discussed, laughed, and spent a couple of hours with drinks and visions of travel in our heads!!! She loves to travel just as much as I do........and she has been in many, many places within North America in the last few years, some on business, others as pleasure trips.

She is also taking a trip to Rome and surrounding area in November with her mother. A first overseas trip for her mother....and the second trip to Europe for Amy within only a month. Soooo, we plan to meet again after she returns from England and Denmark......as there is lots to discuss about going to Italy.....probably my favorite country!!!

And......all too soon the evening was over with!!!!!! GREAT time visiting with her!!!!! She has ALWAYS been a favorite person.....former student.....of mine!!! Such a great person with such a great vision for her future!! I am soooo proud to say that she was student of mine!!!

Today, we are going to Cape G. and then to visit with Mike. This will be another HOT day.....whew!!!!! Already a scorcher out there...and it is just mid-morning.....UGH!!!!

And......with lots of positive things happening.......as always,

LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
