I can't believe I haven't posted as I have been reading and commenting on other blogs and just realized it has been almost 10 days since I have written on my own blog. Very fascinated with my blogging and bandit friends.
Vince and I dug up some lilac bushes on the spur of the moment on Saturday morning and then jumped in the car and drove the 300 miles to my brothers' house to give them away. Coincidently, we arrived in time to be able to attend the Gaither Vocal Band concert at the Target Center in Minneapolis. It was absolutely fantastic and brought back so many memories. The vocal talent of these people is phenomenal and it was truly an inspiration to attend.
On Sunday morning, we helped plant the five garbage bags full of lilacs. It felt so great to be outside and bending over without losing breath because the fat in the middle got in the way. We had to rush off after brunch to return to Mitchell so that I could be on campus in time to help set up for the Laptop conference our agency was hosting.
For the past two days I have been hanging out with some of the greatest people on earth, teachers. People who care about children are the best. It is always an upper for me to connect with these professional friends. The only problem has been that we have had chocolate in dishes at the registration table and I have had the munchies. Oh well, back to straight and narrow on Thursday.
My buddy, D, has been helping me and just having a blast getting to know some of my friends from Kansas and Maine who are here presenting at the conference. D has been a very great helper and people are very impressed with his ability to relate to adults. His mom and dad should be proud of him and his behavior. I know I am. The conference will be over tomorrow and then one day of visiting schools and then I go on a quilting trip.

I took my bag on it's first outing today:) I went over to my Mum's house and round-a-bout. Well...she went silly over it!!! I had to tell her the whole story and she was soooooo jealous of my bag. She thinks it is absolutely divine.....as do I:)
thanks again
I love the Gaither's. For our birthday, my bay brother (born on my third birthday) treated us to a Gaither concert in Ft. Worth a couple of years ago. It was great.
And yes, teachers are the greatest.

It is so great to come to the comments and see notes from my friends Nola and Helen. I am glad you love your bag. You are so welcome.

I love the Gaither's they are phenominal! I have seen them one time in concert in Kansas City in a huge arena. They had us all captivated the entire time! Good you got to do some outside stuff. I miss gardening like that. I live in an apartment so my patio looks like a small jungle!
I am so sorry about not getting back with you about the pants. The inseam is too short, sorry. I just realized at this very moment that I hadn't gotten back to you! sorry
