Tom had to fly out to LA last Sunday. Sounds like he had a very nice week. He got done a day early so he spent some time visiting Solvang for pastries and wine tasting. He even had some extra time to take my brother Mike out for a birthday dinner at Cheesecake factory and stopped into his condo to recaulk his bathtub. Tom returned home Friday night after catching the landing of the space shuttle in LA while he was sitting on the runway in his plane. He sent me a photo shot of the shuttle landing from out of his plane window.
Meanwhile, I was getting a yearly check up at the doctor's office on Friday. I was trying to hurry to catch Allison's field hockey game. She usually has two a week. They lost their first game that week, but won the game on Friday afternoon and I got to watch Allison play. I also had time on Friday to get back to my exercise classes. The YMCA finally opened up the swim classes for drop in rather than preregister, so now I can just attend the class when I want. So I loved getting back in the pool, but the chlorine did not do much for my breathing while I finish up my antibiotics for my sinus infection. Scott was also off of school on Friday, so I kept him busy with homework. He would have preferred to travel to Busch Gardens with Tom, but sadly Tom got home too late. Allison was off of school on Monday(love those Jewish holidays), but she had to go into work. Good thing she can drive herself!
Instead of visiting Busch Gardens, we decided had to use our tickets to Hershey Park so off we went on Sunday and we all had a great time. SCott rode every coaster, including two new coaster rides. He completely wore himself out. We even took Cookie and she waited for us in the dog kennel during the day at the park. We had a great time eating chocolate(we are all set for Halloween). And a very nice addition-Allison and I heard a concert from Megan Hilty-the star of the tv show SMASH and she plays Glinda in Wicked on Broadway. She sang with her piano player who was excellent and he also sang a duet with her too. And we even caught a tap show and thought of Stacey! It was a wonderful way to spend the first full day of Fall.
I also was kept busy last week with Allison's Back to School Night. I got a chance to meet all her teachers-they are all very nice and involved. I also had to run off to pick up some items for Allison's Pasta Party and a work party for me. On Thursday we had a goodbye luncheon for one of our staff members that took another job. I picked up lunch for our out patient staff as well as a gift card(Starbucks of course to collect more city mugs). Allison just needed cookies for her Field Hockey team dinner. Thank goodness for Sam's club. I just got there with 15 mins. to spare. And the gas station was surrounded by cops. Don't know what happened, but I figured that was the safest time to get gas! I also took in a pan of Tom's ziti to work and the staff gobbled it down. And early in the week we had a staff team building meeting. Our boss bought us all chinese food and we spent a few hours getting to know a few new staff members and playing team building games like Taboo and Jenga. It turned out to be a lot of fun. And it was nice to spend time with the whole staff since our boss is stepping down next week.
I had plenty of time to work off all those goodies while doing lots of yardwork on Saturday when it was nice and sunny. I even got Tom to finally top my Rose of Sharon bush which has turned into a tree. He even got busy trimming our neighbors cherry tree too which turned into a neighborhood project while I was cutting the grass.
Sending out a Big Happy Birthday to Mom Bozyk. She said she enjoyed a good, fried chicken dinner as a birthday treat.
Here is Allison in goal during last week's Field Hockey game. Also a few shots(from you guessed it)Hershey Park. The kids love the swing ride. And we enjoyed Megan's(Glinda's) concert.
See you next week! Kathleen
