Unexpected Visitors!!



In Photo Jaziah, Kara, my Dad (Ned) sitting Philip and Me(I am not photogenic)
Last night my daughter received a voice mail message from her grandma! Stating they would be in town soon. We were shocked since they live in Up State New York! So when I called them, they wanted to meet for Breakfast this morning at 7am!! So I went into work a little late. After work we meet for Dinner at Applebee since they are flying out tonight! IT was a nice short visit!!

Boys Will be Boys!


My son had a great Mohawk at the beginning of the School year. Then we went to Mexico to scatter my mom's ashes. We have a bit of Redneck family or good old boys!! My son went out Deep Sea fishing and came back without his Mohawk! I was very happy last he finally went and got a Mohawk again!! Elmer glue works best for putting it up!!

Busy last few Days!!



Thursday - started an early day had Basin Wide Foundation meeting. Followed that meeting with a Rotary Presidents Elect meeting. Cindy and Jim didn't show. So it was just Sandy, Joe and I. But we got a lot accomplished. I am a bit nervous about taking over a President in only my second year in Rotary.
Friday I worked half a day, so that next weekend I only have to work half a day then I can leave early to go to Laughlin.
When I got home I helped my Baby Kara & her boyfried Jaziah move out! They got a place with some friends. It just seems like yesterday she was running around in diapers.
Saturday I started working on a quilt for Dickson mom!
So this has kept me busy!! I have one more row to put together before the top is done. Then the hard work begins!! I want to get it done in the next three weeks wish me luck!!
Today I am going to watch NASCAR (Go Tony Stewart)! Then head to a Rotary BBQ!!

Busy Day

It got to work this morning, it was a normal day. Until I received a call from a co-worker who is in the hosptial. I had to do his job. But I had meetings 30 minutes away that couldn't be canceled. He had clients. I got someone to cover me for 2 hours. Then did his job all afternoon. Then I had a meeting with a fellow Rotarian. To discuss my upcomming presidency. I wanted some kind of budget ideas, on what we spend where. We had to order some new banners since the mice where we eat each week has eaten our banners!! Always something!!

Another Day another Dollar!!



Work was good today! I had to spend $28,000 for incentives for clients! Boy what I could have done with that money if it was mine!! It is fun to think about it!! It took me the full day of calling seeing if Wal Mart can do 300 gift cards, no they want you to do it online. All that kind of stuff. I ended up with like 10 different stores, I got gift cards and bus pass etc... I only had 41.00 left over!!

Tonight I actually cooked dinner! I hate to cook if I don't have a plan before hand! Which tonight I didn't have a plan other than I knew we had chicken!! I ended up doing shake n bake (garlic herb) with mashed potatoes and gravy. The kids were happy!!

Then I tried out the challenge card that Jan put on the S-Cubed site. I won't participate in the next swap (since I will be in Europe) so I wanted to play now!! Of course the Paris one is for Rachel!!

My Life, Family, Friends & FUN!!

I finally got back in!!

Ok after trying for two days I was finally able to sign back in so I could post again!! User name is full email address not just a normal user name!!
Anyway!!
Saturday was a good day! I went down to Rotary District 5330 conference. I attended Foundation/GSE! I love the whole GSE thing! I hope someday to be a GSE leader. The group from here went to Perth Australia, and the Perth group was still here in So. California so we got to hear about their experience here. Our Rotary group got a patch for donating to District foundation we had not done that since Chris Gubler was president about 6 years ago. Shame on us!! Then I went to the session for the Music winner, he was awesome. Then I listened to 5 four way speeches which were also very good, didn't get to find out who is the winner was because I didn't stay for the $30 dollar lunch!!
Saturday night I went up to Chris & Debbie Gubler for a Rotary BBQ and gaming night. Chris under cooked the chicken, it was pretty funny. We were all to anxious to teach Charles how to play craps!! We are all going to Laughlin Father Day weekend for Peter Demotion Party, fun in the water and some craps!! It should be a entertaining weekend for sure!!
Sunday was a veg day!! I did manage to finally get Rachel's Birthday gift done!!
Monday back to work, I love my new office tucked away from everyone else. By tomorrow I might actually have internet and be a fully functioning worker again. That would be nice. I still managed to be very busy with out it!!
Tonight my mentee Corryne and I made dinner and are going to hang out!!
