And the Days Just Fly By

This will could be a lengthy blog and I may ramble..so try to keep up! ;)

July 4th weekend: We flew to Gaston's Trout Resort for the weekend. It was AWESOME! Great weather on the flight up. It only took about 35 minutes to get there vs. 4 hours in a car! I love my pilot! We just hung out and ate ALOT!!! Blakely and I took goofy pictures and had the best time doing it...Anthony not so much. LOL Gaston's let us take one of their vans into Bull Shoal's. We went to an old-time village and some caverns. It was kind of neat. We visited the Dam visitor center and that was way cool. We came back for the fireworks on the dam for the 4th. They were great! No mosquitos!!!!!!!!! That's worth repeating...NO MOSQUITOS!!!!!! Loved it. We got up early on Sunday the 5th and had brunch with some friends. The weather was looking dicey so we decided to go ahead and leave. Good thing we did..we had to dodge thunderstorms all the way home. I really prefer to fly in blue sky only so I was glad to land. It was a wonderful family weekend that we never get to do enough of because AD always has to fly in the summertime. Good memories.

This whole week has just flown by...I can't say that I've really done anything very productive except for paying bills and washing clothes. And oh yeah, looking for our kitty cat Mitts. She is the cutest little thing. Seriously little. She apparently rode my truck down to the curb and got lost. Blakely was distraught and AD secretly was as well. I wasn't thrilled either..I mean I've paid for this cat to have shots! AND I happen to enjoy her just a little. So I canvas the neighborhood and actually find her. Oh happy day...oh happy day! She's back now with a bell collar. I am pretty sure she didn't enjoy her little escapade because she has not left our garage since! She's a pretty cool cat.

Now is where my week gets interesting. On Wednesday, as I am headed to the best dentist in the whole world, Dr. Ricky Price in Wynne, I receive a phone call on my cell. It's Mr. Billy asking me if I am ready to come out of retirement. You could have knocked me over with a feather! Soooo did not see that one coming. I said I would need to talk to AD and would give him some sort of answer that evening. As expected, AD not too happy about the idea. I explained it would be part-time and I think I could do it and grad school. He conceded for me to atleast meet with Mr. Billy and ofcourse gave explicit instructions on the conditions I could return. Ex..salary, perks, exact hours/classes, etc. I met with Mr. Billy yesterday and I doubt I will be returning. I understand his position and I hope he understands mine. I hope they find someone that will do a good job for the kids and Lee. If not, I'm always available provided a little negotiating. I have no doubt that all will work out for the best. God always knows what He's doing.

This weekend is hopefully going to be a relaxing one but everytime I say that..it's NOT. Later blog readers...hope you're having a great summer so far!
