Random things

Well, it has been a while since I last typed.  Man, have we been busy. 

We were able to finally get new flooring in the living room.  That white carpet that Ray & Jo had when we moved in had seen its better days.  Also, we hate our laminate flooring & will not recommend laminate to anyone.  It is very hard to take care of.  After much shopping and comparison, we went with Russell Flooring in Staunton.  We were able to install hard wood floors & get new living room furninture.  Now, we are asking for money for Christmas to help pay for our "new room".

I have also been extremely busy with Patriot's Night Out.  That is TSP's annual dinner auction.  I was the chairperson this year.  I feel like I have been living at school the past 2 weeks.  Anyway, the auction is now over & we made a record amount $16,000.00.  That will certainly help the school out.

The next day, I drove to Chicago for my annual "adult girl" trip.  Went shopping on Michigan Ave. (American Girl), watched/saw the Christmas lights, spent the night with my favorite niece Meila.  She is such a ham & growing so quickly.

Got home on Sunday just in time for my dad's election celebration party.  That was very nice.  Weezy's catered and did a fantastic job.

Ready for Thanksgiving week to start.  Trying to prepare my Christmas buying list & figure out what I have & what I need so I can get scrip gift cards to purchase the rest of the gifts.  Another way to benefit the school.
