Busy Week

We spent the week packing and doing all the little things that needed to be done. On Thursday I went to Bingo with Pam and I won $35. That was a good thing.
On Friday we had Matt over for his birthday and Dakota and Matt spent the night. Jen and Rob went to a Tiger baseball game. The boys played video games all evening, so they really enjoyed that. On Saturday we went to Dakota's soccer game, he certainly has improved since last year. But boy it was cold out. In the evening we went to Jason's and Jessica's house for a "Minute to Win It Party". What a great idea for a party. We had to leave early but I heard they had a ball. I am going to try that here this year.
We left the party early because we had to get up at 3 a.m. to leave for Florida. We made good time and didn't have any trouble until we got past Atlanta and all of a sudden traffic just stopped. We never saw an accident, orange barrel or anything and just sat bumper to bumper for over an hour.
So we were a little late getting to my Aunt Pauline's but she had a little dinner for us and then we crashed. The next morning she fed us a good old southern breakfast and then we headed for Florida. And then it started raining, so hard we couldn't see. We took it slow and saw several accidents but we made it.
My boss from Bob Evans called while we were driving in the rain and asked if I could start work on Friday. Oh, my only three days and my vacation is over...
We unloaded the car, neighbors stopped by and then we crashed again for the evening.
This morning we went to our very favorite store first thing. Lowe's always has something we need. Bud hooked up my computer and tried to hook up the TV with Comcast but so far that isn't working so well. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
Bill and Anna asked us to go to dinner so we went to The Hacienda Country Club for their half priced meals. Well, they didn't have enough help and the place was packed so we left and went to Crisper's and had some really good soup. That's all we needed anyway. So now we are just resting and planning the rest of the week. The neighbor guy stopped to see if he should put us in for golf on Saturday but I am going to lunch and a play in Ocala with the Red Hats. Bud might golf if they need a single. The activities never stop and I am loving it.....
