What a Week!!!

Being gone for a few days really made it a busy week trying to get caught up.  I did love calling my father-in-law to let him know that Ken was still demanding his coffee in bed. So much so that he actually climbed back into bed one morning so I could make it and bring him a cup. HAHA!! Dad said that he was actually ashamed that Kenny was his son since he couldn't make his own coffee. I laughed.  Of course, Ken does the laundry and the grocery shopping, so I guess getting him coffee every morning isn't a bad trade.
Ken and I attended the Apple Valley Gun Club banquet last Saturday. We had a great time, and the Club actually turned a profit. The amount of work that Ken put in to the raffle items was intense, but it paid off at the very last second.  And I do mean at the last second - there were items out for delivery on that Friday before and when Ken called to track the package at 4 pm, he learned that the package had not been delivered because it was damaged. Holy shit!! He did not have much time to get across town to retrieve the items that were acceptable. It was the last shipment, and there was a problem with it.

 Oy vey!! We were so happy to take in the raffle items to the banquet hall and then grab some drinks and settle down. What a roller coaster!!  We had fun - we didn't win any of the big prizes, but it was still good to see everyone.

 Ken was asked to take a picture with Jerry and another Veteran. Jerry kept referring to Ken as "that Jar Head."
Our friend, Aaron Garcia, and his wife, Jennifer, joined us at the banquet again this year. The Club asked Aaron to speak a little bit about the problems and concerns with the firearms market - the ammo shortage, the firearms manufacturing schedule, etc.

 It took me 3 days, but I seem to have finally gotten a grip on my work which ran out of control back in January. I *think* that I know what I'm behind on and what is coming up. I may actually be able to get my job done in a timely fashion.  Thankfully, Jen helped me out a TON and Gina pitched in as well.  I would have been screwed if they hadn't.

 Karma knocked me up-side the head this week.  I had a great time sending pictures of the sun back to our friends in Akron, NY when we returned, and then Mother Nature figured I hadn't had enough of the snow, so she sent some to us here at home and the girls got a Snow Day. Ugh! What a pain that was for me!!

There really wasn't that much snow, but school was cancelled any way.  I had a lot of fun posting the picture of our front yard on Facebook and tagging all of our NY friends and family with the news.  Apparently, many of them got quite the giggle out of it.


I laughed when I read some of the comments.  Maire is from Sweden, so of course she can't believe it. I loved that Barbara told us that Ermanno thought we were having a blizzard and the others who live in snow-ridden areas all thought this was pathetic.  

 I was able to sneek out of the house last night and accompany Michael Gallagher, the DeGrassi's and the Pacers out for supper. It was so nice to have a night out with friends, wine, Italian food and laughter. Ken was out with Aaron Garcia for a campout, so it also helped to take the edge off of him being gone.  Of course, I didn't get any sleep, but at least I had had fun. Michael Pacer has known Gallagher since they were in 10th grade which makes it, (gasp) 42 years now. We had a great time sharing our stories of Gallagher who was wondering why he paid for supper by the end of the night. 

 Ken and I played Contract Rummy with the girls tonight and then caught up on the SNL episodes. It was nice to get some relaxing in!
