What's been happening and what will be going on

The play "Oliver!" went extremely well.  No big issues, some little things each show, but otherwise a good run. It's over, but that doesn't mean the costumes are completely done.  I still have tons of costumes in my house (that need to be returned).  I still have about 50 costumes at the dry cleaners, waiting to be done.  All the 100+ others I was able to machine wash, dry and iron; while it saved money it did take time.  But, Anna was here and helped.

Anna had a good and relaxing spring break.  She slept, ate and watched a lot of TV.  Oh, and she took a test on Friday for ETSU, applied for a summer job, and ate a lot of Girl Scout cookies.

We are almost done our Girl Scout cookie season, I am at least hopeful.  We have our last official cookie booth today.  If we don't sell all of them, then we are planning on setting up a booth at a regatta, and hope to cash in on hungry rowers. :)

The BIG Girl Scout trip to Savannah begins on Tuesday.  Lots of planning has gone into this and we are hoping to
1. have fun
2. not lose anyone
3. take lots of pictures
4. eat lots of good food
5. learn something along the way

In the midst of bad weather and the play and lots of normal business going on, our community suffered a great loss.  One of our church families lost their son to suicide.  He was an active member of the high school, church, and community.  We will all mourn his loss and continue to pray for the family.

Bogdan and Gabriel also embarked on a trip of their own last night.  They are headed to CA for a couple reasons.  Bogdan will present a project at a conference in Palo Alto area.  Gabriel is visiting colleges: Berkeley and Stanford.  Hopefully, the car will not break, and they will still be talking at the end of the week.  Also, maybe no speeding tickets?
