Busy, busy, busy!!!

This time of the year my business always gets crazy because everyone wants things decorated for the holidays. I'm trying to stretch out the work and still schedule days off. This week I worked 3 long hard days and now have off until Friday the 17th. Saturday I am flying to Tampa to stay with a friend (who's husband just died in Sept.) until Wednesday the 15th. Not a long stay but I prefer short trips so I don't get too far out of my routine. Will be a good break and good to see Lucy also.

Tomorrow Teri is coming to visit and hopefully install our 2nd wireless router, as the 1st is not working correctly. We'll go to lunch and I get my hair done at 6:30.

Brief Synopsis of last weekend............Something I never do. An old boyfriend of mine,Tony Adamowicz, from 1960-61 was racing at VIR in Alton, Va. Friday and Saturday. He lives in Costa Mesa, CA. And there were others going to be there that I hadn't seen in 45 years so I decided to drive down and visit. Drove for 5 hours to Danville, VA., got my own motel room and tried to call Tony's cell phone. No answer.........it was in his coat pocket in a car. Drove to the track (about 30 mins. away) and no way could I find anyone that looked familiar in their racing garb. And too many trailers, cars, RVs, etc. so returned to motel. Finally Tony called to say several of the old timers would pick me up for dinner. I had a blast !!! Dinner and reminising and joking till after 11:00 with 6 retired race car drivers, but not Tony, the one I had hoped to see. Saturday AM Tony was back at the track bright and early so I missed him again. Decided just to hit the road to return home since they were tied up all day with racing and I had to be home by 6:00. Debbie and Felicia were spending the night here with me. Got home about 2:00, unpacked and took a nap waiting for my company to get here.

Sunday morning, up bright and early as Deb and Felicia were heading out the door to be at the Sports Complex in Sterling by 7:30 AM. Game started at 8:30 so I had an extra hour to get ready. Was there by 8:40 (just a little late) and stayed for the second game at 11:30. Game over at 1:30 and they headed back to Westminster and I came home for another nap and the end of the Redskins-Dallas game (which they won-Hallelujah).

Life seems to be good for now.
