Well, Dad and I woke up to a frustrating morning today since we went down to exercise at Mavericks and they have, without notice, changed their hours to starting at 8 am on Saturdays...much too late for us! Dad just finished writing a scathing e-mail about the change! So we live and learn. We paid for the entire year because thereby we got a good discount but now that kind of leaves us up a creek! From now on, we just pay month to month even if it is more!!!

We are gradually getting back to the time zone here. The waking up early has been great since I have several things that are early in the morning but I really poop out at night. Last night, however, we were really daring and went out to dinner and to a 10:20 pm movie, The World of Women(maybe I have the title wrong)---good movie, not awesome...just alright. It was rated 4 stars...and PG-13 but had some fairly questionable language and subject matter. I am kind of amazed at our rating system. Brent and Buffy joined us and it was great to see them.

We have our countertops in now...and a sink and stove back! The backsplash still needs to be done so we are going out to get that arranged today. Dad thinks I have bad taste so he has to be with me to choose it. Until that gets done we are still in partial mode since our two cupboards are sitting on the floor in the breakfast nook. We are really happy with our countertops though--they look great!

Otherwise, I have spent most of my week catching up on my work. We have a deadline for several of the curriculum so I have been working hard on them. I am going over to the Tri-Cities on Thursday and Friday this week.

There is not much going on here other than that...I think Kim and Treven are moving in today so as soon as she gets time we will hopefully see some pictures etc.

We had a great time with Mike and Brooke. We love them so much! The area in which they live is just beautiful as you can see in the pictures! I recommend a visit to all!

Love,
Mom
