A Weekend Off

Thursday is now our new Friday.  We came home exhausted on Thursday but looked forward to our three days off.  We talked with Dee and Andy about the Volkswagen that he rebuilt and the fact that Tom, our brother-in-law, has rebuilt a couple also.  We called Paula and asked if we could drop by on our way out for supper to see the VW's and Tom's Taj Mahal (aka garage).  Andy enjoyed seeing the VW's and took some pictures.  After the tour of the house and garage, Paula and Tom ended up joining us for dinner at a Mexican restaurant by their house.

Yesterday was spend doing errands and errands and errands.  There's still a lot of odds and ends that need doing because of the retirement and move.  Today we did some additional errands and then some laundry.  During the morning, there was a lot of activity and families at the community garden that was just put in at the church where we're staying.  The community had a celebration and work day for everyone to get their gardens dug and planted in the small plots that were allocated for each family.  There was music, food, and balloons for everyone.

We looked up some restaurants off the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives website and found a German restaurant in Glendale that sounded like a good place for supper tonight.  We invited our co-workers on the project and decided that 8 of us would go for dinner.  There was great food and entertainment which we didn't expect.  We all had a great time!

Tomorrow we're going to go to a church service at the Glendale Methodist Church where we're working.  Then we'll spend some time at Paula's and do some more laundry.  Paige is going to make a pot of the good gumbo soup.  Tonight there is supposed to be heavy winds and rain and tomorrow will have a high in the mid 50's - a good day for soup!
