TGIF,

I am at work, passing time until I go over to the hospital to get fitted for a hearing aid. I knew the day would come, but I was hoping it wouldn't come until I was a lot older. 

We went and seen Les Miserables last night. I really didn't even want to blink, I was afraid I would miss something!

I want to clean tomorrow, then we have a concert to go to tomorrow night. 

3 more days to work, then off untill the last of August.

Have a great day,

HUGGERS,

Hi friends,

Well we had our first slow day today, but I spent the whole day at the computer doing store work that had to be done, so it was productive anyway. Kay waited on customers and then ran to the grocery store. (It's a good thing we moved our big fridge here!) Tomorrow we have some classes starting so it will be busier. Next Wed our accountant is coming by to teach us a thing or two! LOL We've only balanced the cash register once, but she assures us we won't get in trouble for being mathematical idiots!

I hope your week went well. I certainly have enjoyed the moderate weather!

Connie

Sorry, I had mine in Madison, WI and a lot had theirs in the suburbs. I hope someone on the list went there but I can't think of anyone. Connie

Good evening Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

I am home, safe and sound.  We had a really good trip.  I learned a lot about Liv's new campus and was assured that this is a good school.  We toured a dorm across the hall from Liv's and each girl has her own bedroom with a common living/kitchen area.  As we were leaving, I realized that we were looking into the window of the dorm that she is assigned and there was a STOVE with oven.  We are hoping that it stays until move-in.

I went to the beach every night and the last two nights, I went south to Pawley's Island, which is residential and completely different from the tourist trap of Myrtle Beach.  My next-door neighbor's family has a huge beach house there and I will definitely consider looking into renting it some time.  It seems expensive at approximately $2000 per week, but it has 6 bedrooms/5 bathrooms and all the comforts of home.  If 3-4 families went together, it would be cheaper than a hotel!  Maybe we should all go!

I had a fantastic time spending my "alone time".  I went to meetings and just enjoyed being alone.  I worked hard on living in the moment and not thinking too much about the future or the past.  If the "hotel" would have been better, it would have been perfect.  Turns out, it was not a hotel but a condo resort and they seemed not to care about customer service for those that had rented "studios".  The window was facing the parking lot and the sidewalk went right next to the window.  The window was 6 feet from the bed.  There was no sheer, just black-out drapes, so the drape had to be shut at all times.  DEPRESSING if I would have allowed such.  Oh well.....live and learn.

Now, I have to get ready for the Open Market on Friday evening.

I am sorry I missed the surprise for Connie and Kay, but I hope you liked the restaurant.  You know I was there in spirit!

Everyone have a great evening!  I will be sending good energy to Watson as he has his hip replaced tomorrow.

Busy day for me at work too. I am glad I put a pot of soup on this morning. All I have to do is serve it.

Hugs, sorry for the quick flyby.
