Do you ever just feel like the days are so very full and you might like to say, as the old farmer did to his mule when the reached the end of a row of plowing, "Halt Rebecca, pivot, proceed!"
The week would be one of those. We realized we had somewhere to be every evening of the week. We had lots of places to be and things that needed to be done during the week. Fortunately, not all weeks are like that and you really appreciate the slower weeks after having full, busy ones.
Tuesday, Apr. 19th, Claude had himself double-booked. He needed to help with the Scott County Planning Commission's presentation as they try to prepare the next master plan. This is the same time he and Papa usually cover a shift at the Family History Center. I covered the Family History Center shift with Papa. Claude covered his Planning Commission presentation. We were fortunate to be able to connect for a quick dinner together in Georgetown. I was supposed to go to a Relief Society function in the evening. I just couldn't. I really needed and wanted to be in my home. So home I went.
Wednesday was one of those weirdly scheduled days. With gas prices at $3.89 per gallon we try very hard to combine our trips. The 20th that was not to be. Claude had a meeting in the morning. I sing at the nursing home with Papa on Wednesday afternoons. Then we had a special choir practice later in the evening at church in Georgetown. No way to do this day but three trips to Georgetown in one day.
Claude had meetings all day on Thursday (22nd). I worked on my Sunday School lesson and things in my home. In the evening we attended the wedding reception of James and Megan Jenkins. They held it in Lexington at one of the huge old homes there.
Friday (22nd) I finished my Sunday School lesson preparation and prepared to make a trip to LaGrange on Saturday. In the evening Claude and I headed to Lexington to attend the Chamber of Commerce Banquet.
We were happy to learn that one of our neighbors was Valedictorian for the Scott County High School class. They honor all of these seniors at the Chamber Banquet. This happened last year as well. I told our table mates that there was something special in the water in Sadieville that produces great minds.
We have had sooooo much rain this Spring. This Friday was no different. As we headed into the Embassy Suites in Georgetown for this dinner, the rain was pouring. Claude pulled to the front door and let me out under the cover of the building. Claude went to park the car and as he parked the rain stopped long enough for him to get inside.
The emcee for this event is always Sam Dick, the news anchor for our local CBS channel. He assured us there were tornado watches out. He also assured us that the news station knew where he was and we would have first word if anything developed that we needed to know about. Applause went up through the audience.
We made it through the weekdays of this busy week and earned the prize of a play date with our two youngest grandmonsters. Yippee!!
