Hello again!
I'm so glad it's Saturday! I know we just finished up a "short" week, but why do these allegedly short weeks always seem so long?
Our Memorial Day weekend up with Rich's parents was blessed with good weather so we spent part of the day at the Shady Hollow flea market on their opening day, and found a few treasures to bring home. Well, I found some treasures... I guess Rich is just more selective because he didn't find anything he couldn't live without.
Sunday I headed into Fargo and spent the day with Mom. We took a drive out to the Horace cemetary, visited Dad's grave, and wandered around for a while. Interesting wandering through a cemetary trying to remember who all those people were. Mom, of course, remembers a good share of them and did her level best to help me conjure up a face to go with the names. I had to chuckle though, when she did the "You remember {INSERT NAME HERE}...they went to school with {INSERT NAME OF SIBLING HERE}" thing. When you are 14 plus years younger than all but one of your siblings, the chances you actually knew these people is pretty slim. Especially when they died young and you were four at the time. Oh well.
We went to a movie in the afternoon. It's a little tricky finding a show that doesn't offend Mom's sensibilities, but it's hard to go wrong with Disney, so we saw Night at the Museum-Battle of the Smithsonian and I think she enjoyed it. Other than it being a bit loud that is. After that we grabbed a light dinner (we both spoiled our appetites with a gargantuan tub of popcorn) and then I had to head back to Detroit Lakes.
Monday we headed home to a distressed dog who conveyed his upset in the most disgusting manner possible (I'll let your imagination work for you there). Needless to say, I wasn't a happy camper when we got home. Ahh, the joys of a long weekend...
The rest of the week was fairly uneventful though busy. In other words- pretty much the usual. Thursday I went to a friend's house and taught a quick little card class but otherwise didn't accomplish much. I've been teaching a monthly card class at work for over a year now but I haven't taken the show on the road-so to speak- since I gave up the whole demonstrator gig. I have to say it's a lot more fun just teaching than selling!
Well, I'm hoping to clear out a couple of flower beds this weekend so I should probably get going on that. I'm going to leave you with the link to a really cute video someone shared with me this week. It's of a 90 year old couple - married 67 years- doing a little impromptu show at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Believe me, it's worth watching. Here's the Video.
