September 20, 2016...


    Home fresh from work and I have to stare at my screen for several minutes to remember what the date is. (yes I know its on the task bar but I was just blank staring the page.)  ha ha Fun! Anyway I made it through another full shift and am hoping that I can leave all the madness of being sick behind me now. Work was good it was fairly busy and we all got along really well.  There was an open house for hiring and also a tour with one of the banks. I left at two and missed it all. I hope it was the party they had planned.
    Tomorrow everything should be back to normal and we can all get on with the week. Wednesday is upon us and I can already see the weekend. I'm hoping it's not as busy as the last one was.  I hung with the girl Friday night and we did some scrapbooking. Saturday we went to see Tarzan (thought it was really good but was disappointed there wasn't more help from the different animals, you don't see the animals as much as you would like to really.) That same night I had date night with my love and we went to the house of an old friends/neighbors of my love.  There was James giving live entertainment and he rocked. Then his friend was so cute, every time she stepped out the door and heard the music her face would light up and she would start dancing with whatever she happened to be carrying, the crock pot, a bag of chips, bowls of corn, the food was divine. Dinner and a show and dancing $5.00 a head. It was well worth it. Apparently we were such a hit we are now going to be getting invited to game night. Yay, game night!!  I haven't been invited to a game night in what seems to be forever.
     Fall is coming quickly. I'm excited and sad at the same time, just like every year. I love the dry roads but the fall colors and cooler temps are good and it's the beginning of the holiday season, so that's good to. Halloween if I haven't mentioned is my favorite holiday ever. Then Thanksgiving and Christmas are tied for second.  I have already began to decorate my house and I can't wait to pull it all out and go crazy. YAY!
   Sunday we went to the Carmelite Festival again. I'm not sure if it's a fair or a festival but it feels more like a festival to me so that's what I call it. It is to raise money for the nun and they sell a ton of great stuff. Hand made quilts and blankets. Hats, scarves and mittens. There is all kinds of jams and jellies and caramels and peanut brittle. There was bouncy toys for the little kids and games they could play for tickets but the pickings in prizes were not very interesting. The girl got play makeup and two pair of earrings. We had both tamales and rice & beans, and an oriental meal that was also delicious.  There is also a bagpipe band complete with female dancers also wearing kilts doing so great dances to the bagpipes. We had a lot of fun but I felt like I needed a weekend home just to recover from the weekend I had already had. That hasn't happened in a long time though so I'm not gonna complain.
