Seems like ages!

Sorry I haven't posted since last week.
We left Friday morning for Dallas for my great nephew's graduation. Got a call on the way that E's brother-in-law had died, so as soon as we got back from Dallas on Monday afternoon, we repacked and headed for the Valley for the funeral. It was a couple of whirlwind trips!
We got back late last night to a dark house with no power. Fun driving back in the storm! Glad E was driving when we hit the rainy stretch! It let up a bit by the time we got home so we didn't get too wet unloading the car.

The Dallas trip was fun. The graduation was nice. Only 40 kids - a private, Christian school. My nephew had 4 cars in a car show on Saturday and won everything he could win in the classes he was in - including Best of Show, plus several door prizes, and the pot for the show. It was a fundraiser so half of the pot went to the ticket holder, the other half to charity. They were all very happy the show went so well.

The Valley trip was not so fun.... We did get to see a lot of E's family that we hadn't seen in 3 years since his mom's funeral, and I got to meet some I hadn't met before. We got to see our grandson. He's grown a lot! We didn't go to the beach, so no toes in the sand for me. :(
And I'm still pale, but at least no sunburn and peeling!
We didn't even drive through our old neighborhoods to see our old "homes".... maybe next time. Decided it would probably be depressing anyway.

I have a job interview tomorrow. It sounds like the perfect job for me. I'll post more later. Don't want to jinx it!

Right now I have to go get ready for a women's entrepreneur networking event this afternoon/evening.

Blessings,
Lori

Hope this was spiced up enough for you! :)
