Crazy, busy life... What has been going on you say,,, well, where do I start.... Things at work are gearing up for year end. That is a busy, crazy time of year. Trying to spend what is left in this years budget, closing out PO's, getting invoices in and paid. Getting geared up to re-key all the PO's for the copier leases for the next Fiscal Year, (I have 95 that all have to be keyed in on the first 2-3 days after July 4th when we can get back into the system. We are locked out from about the 20th of June to the second business day after July 4th. So I will be crying with my hands hurting so bad from all the constant keying. But I will survive, I do every year.
The first week in May I will be at our annual convention in Hot Springs. I will probably stay at the lake house and not drive back and forth everyday, since it is only 20 miles from the convention center. I used to do the exhibits, but it got too hard on my joints pounding that concrete floor for 3 days, so now I do registration, I get to sit down for most of that.
Larry and I have been doing some work in the yard, digging up and setting out Dogwoods, Wysteria, Red buds, and Roses. We have been moving some dirt around and trying to decide what to do in the circle out front. Still not sure there. But we are going to play with it this weekend and try to come up with something.
I have been trying to gather addresses of all family members to send out reunion info to,, Please send your's(snail and e-mail) to me, just to make sure I have it. Along with the reunion info I am requesting family stats and am planning to put together a family directory. So please get me the completed questionaire as soon as you can, after I send it out that is.
Last weekend Larry and I went to a tractor show up town just to see how ours compares to the ones they have. We are I would say as good as some and better than others. Mom and dad asked why we did not take ours up there. We really just did them to see if we can, Now that we know we can and do a real good job at it, we may take them next time. We are going to another tractor show in Nashville AR on the 16th of May, We have asked mom and dad to go with us for the day. I called to get more info on it and was asked how many we would be bringing and what models they are. I told them we would not be bringing them this time. I was asked to at least bring pictures if I have them. So maybe we will do that, but Larry is looking for a trailer to haul them on, if he decided to show them. We got out on Saturday afternoon and he and I had tractor races on these roads out here for about an hour. The neighbors got a good laugh out of that. We had a blast doing it. Then it was put the toys up and get back to work.
Sunday we mowed the entire yard, he did the riding mower and I did the push mower (to make sure nothing got cut down) for 2 hours each. I was tuckered when I stopped...
Buck and Bruce got laid off in Batesville on Thursday and came home. Buck goes back to white bluff on the 14th and Bruce went today. He thought he was not going until the 20th, so he was planning some turkey hunting, but he got called yesterday and asked why he was not there. so he had to go today. I was glad to get them back home. I think they are planning to go to somewhere in MS sometime in May or June for about 6 - 8 weeks, not sure about that yet.
Mom, dad, Larry and I have got to get together and plan our trip this summer. now that we know pretty much we are going to get to do it, I am getting excited about it. Now we just have to decide where and when... We know we are going to Fly.. so the how is taken care of, then we will rent a car when we get there..
Larry and I are going to Branson again this year on July 4th. We like to go junk shopping there, it is alot of fun. sometimes we find some neat stuff and sometimes not. But we like to look.. Then we just walk and look in the craft stores and sit and watch people. I love to do that. It is amazing what all you see, when you just sit and look.
Well gotta go and get some sleep. I will try to post more often than I have been.
Nite all..

Finally a post. Sounds busy, I have been busy inside as the wind is horrific and the pollen is in full blowing stage. My pool and hot tub are green with the pollen, not algae. I look forward to the reunion, I just wish Sheri could be there but, Oh well you do what you have to do.
So what are the trip plans? Got more ideas yet. And the food idea sounds great for the reunion, that way each family can supply enough for their own and no one has put out a big expense. Hopefully.
I know, I will try to do better.. We have not had a chance to sit down or even get together to talk about the trip. Maybe soon we will do that. I am looking forward to the reunion as well.. Just over a month and you will be here.. See ya soon..
