Home From Vacation

I'm home!!!  My plane was delayed a bit last night due to the storms that were coming through Chicago, but I finally made it home about 9:00pm.  A little later than I had hoped, but at least I was home.

I'll post pictures and more details later, but for now, I spent a couple days in Tahoe, and a couple days in Reno at a resort and lost $5.00 gambling.  I'm such a high roller!

Today was spent getting caught up on blogs and some of the emails I received.  Thank goodness I don't need to do laundry for work tomorrow.

My aunt and sisters and I were having a discussion about family history one evening.  I discovered "someone" did a family history of my paternal grandmother, and I even know where the Rockefellers split off from us.  A copy of the family tree and all the history of each generation will be sent to me as soon as my sister makes a copy for me.  There was too much to go through the other night when she showed it to me.  I can't wait to read through it all.  Now if I could figure out how to find more about my paternal grandfather; that will be the real challenge.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Things Are Kind Of Slow These Days

Not a lot going on around here.

Couch and recliner are ready already, told the store to hold them until the end of August so I can paint the living room before they are delivered.  And I can't do that until after I get back from vacation.

Speaking of vacation, I'm leaving this Saturday August 6 to visit family in Reno, NV then to California for a couple days, returning the following Saturday August 13.

I stayed home from work today due to some minor tummy problems.  Hoping it clears up quickly, as I need to start packing and can't miss any more work this week, since I'll be gone all next week.

Weather is still hot here, as I'm sure it is where most of you are at.  Wish it would cool down even for just a day, to give the air conditioner a rest.

Follow up on my license plate that was "stolen".  The morning after I went to the Secretary of States office to order a replacement, I received a call on my cell phone from the dealer.  They had my plate after all!  It apparently came off in the car wash, and wasn't discovered until that morning, four days after my car was there.  So that evening, before my early morning drive to Michigan, I went to the dealer and had them put both plates back on my car.  And when the new one comes in, I'll have them put that one on for me, so it will be nice and clean instead of the dirty icky one I have now.

I hope that these violent storms that have been going through let up, as they have caused various damages here and on the east coast where my friends are at.  Let's stay safe everyone.
