It has been a crazy winter…. with two major storms, things have settled down a bit and we are in the clean up mode.. it was nice to have sunshine this weekend people were out in their yards cleaning up debris from the storm, and lots of tourists in town for the Dixieland Jubilee that was at the convention center. Many people in enjoying the sun and walking up and down Broadway, loving it!
Robert and I worked the Dixieland event and it was very busy… I didn’t remember it being that busy last year… we took shifts… Robert worked mornings and I worked evenings. Yesterday since the weather was great Robert took Bug for a long walk… but today we were just too busy.
We are gearing up for another big event “Dorchester” it is held here every year, there can be anywhere from 400 to 600 people. I am going to have to see if I can get some one to come in and work it for me, because I will be out of town. I also have a huge one coming up the first of April with about 3000 people.. yikes… it is called “North Coast Roundup” I have to have 4 extra people to help me.
My sister and her daughter come down to help me last year. it was crazy but fun… (come on Florence you know it was fun). This year I am not sure yet how we are going to handle it.. My mother was just diagnosed with Cancer… we are still in the figuring things out stage so I am not sure when she is going to start chemo. She is having a port put in tomorrow , that will make chemo and blood draws much better for her. Please keep her in your prayers. On Friday she will have a biopsying both breast.. but they are not really sure that is where the host is located at.. I just pray that she is not going to have to be going through a lot more testing because it is getting to her.
Robert of course is always busy, and really enjoys it still. The Mayor came up to me at the Convention Center yesterday and told me what a great job he did at a meeting they had with the community about safety …He said that everyone was so happy to have him here that they didn’t know what they did without him… and please don’t leave. I assured him we were not going anywhere. I will try and see if I can get Robert to sit down for two minutes to type up something to add to my next post I know how everyone likes to hear from him.
I am still taking my quilting class.. and having a good time with it, I have to get a part to my sewing machine before I can finished quilting the top of the first one.. the one we just started is so much fun… it is a coffee themed one.
Deb and the boys when they came down to see us for the weekend.. I think mommy has had enough 
Rock and Roll band I saw while in Washington.. my granddaughters and friends
I had to show my poor suv while I was in Washington… it is not use to this abuse.
My mom’s surprise birthday party last month… we made her dress as a diva.
My adorable niece Eleasha… playing a Who from Whoville… Your mother said you were awesome girl!
“I can see that you’ve got quite a mind for your age!
Why, one Think and you dragged me right onto the stage!
Now, I’m here, there is no telling what may ensue
With a Cat such as me, and a Thinker like you!”
