Good Morning.  I made it back.  I bet you are surprised!  LOL

The guy is coming to finish painting the house today.  We let him com out and hunt pheasants and we bought the paint and he is painting the house.    Seems like a fair trade to me me.  Then the lady from the government department I can never think of is coming to look at us getting help for putting in a pipeline for some water.  Nothing ever happens and then everything happens at once!

I have a meeting for the grad party tomorrow night at 6.  They are hoping having the meeting 6 instead of 7 will help get more parents there.  I hate to sound pessimistic but I don't think it will help too much.  I hope I am wrong though.

Pooh has a cold and is feeling pretty crappy.  I told her that she isn't doing anything this weekend but I want everyone well for Thanksgiving.  Kyra told me that it is a tradition that someone is sick on Thanksgiving.  I informed her that we can break that tradition at any time.  LOL

We are looking into getting a big front load washer/ dryer.  Do any of you have any helpful hints for me?  Like what to look for in then and what you don't want.  TIA

Supper tonight is over fried Chicken, Peppy Pasta, fruit, salad, and leftover ice cream cake for dessert.

Here is Kyra and her birthday cake.




Be back later.  Hopefully. 

Things I have learned lately.

• Cats will vomit up Pineapple.  Who Knew?
• Sitting at a table at a bazaar for 7 hours will make you very tired and make your hips hurt like the dickens
• Making suggestions and opening your mouth too much at meetings gets you volunteering to sit at tables at bazaars for 7 hours.
• That 15 people planning a grad party for 102 graduates make a lot of work for the 15 people.
• Raising money for said party is a lot harder than you think.
• When is rains the end of October it takes forever to dry.
• The year has sped by  a fast and furious rate.
• When you are motivated 147 letters can be stuffed in envelopes, addressed and labeled in a day and a half.
• After Pooh goes on a band trip she ends up sick.
• It takes a lot of money to send a 66 piece band and chaperons to Washington DC for an Inaugural parade.
• It is hard to raise money when you don't know until the first part of December whether the band is going to the parade or not.
• The minimum needed would be $50,000.
• Just reading that amount makes me nervous.
• Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
• Kyra is now 15.  Where does time go?
• I feel old.

Those are just a few things that I have learned.  I need to be leaving to pick Pooh up from the bus.  So you are spared what else I have learned.

Supper tonight is Enchilada casserole.
