Day 56 -- And then there are plans

Started the day, fully intending to get the FAQ done for SHARE, finish the Manual conversion for AARP, and had a list of projects that could fill in when taking a break from the larger projects.  Well, so much for those plans.
I call Anna to confirm she was back in the country (had been on a mission trip to the DR), and after hearing about the work they had done  on their trip, she asked me if I was ready to do some teaching with her observing.  I answered yes and she suggested come to her class that started at 1pm TODAY.  I agreed. Then realized I had at least three units to convert, and I had no idea what sections Anna was going to ask me to teach.  It turned out well -- Anna was a little late getting there -- which really meant we both had to do some scrambling to take care of the 25 or so folks that were there for the class.  It was good to be reminded of Anna's style, and while she was finishing up paperwork, I did an entire unit (#3) after operating the VCR while she did the first 2 units.  It was a good experience -- I felt very comfortable doing it my way.
Getting the conversion done, myself dressed, and grabbing a quick Mickey D's for lunch, the rest of the day ended up being dedicated to AARP.  Got home just in time to finish what was left of lunch, and then had to catch up on several things left on my desk (I had done bill paying before the call with Anna).  I also wanted to see if I could fix the problem with the slide show that I could not get to work yesterday.  So I decided to just put the slides in today's post -- maybe when figure out the problem with the slide show, I'll include it later.  Anyhow, here are some glimpses of Father's Day 2010:

The slide show has music and "clever" titles to match -- and also includes Allie's Mom and Dad.  Oh well, stay tuned.
Of note, the AARP event was at Bayshore Presby Apts -- where Margaret went every month to leave SHARE order blank, and where we would deliver groceries.  Kathy (the social director) recognized me and we talked briefly about Margaret.  Good conversation, and I could talk about that part of history with appropriate feeling -- and no demands on others to listen to long explanations.  When I introduced myself, Margaret's recent death was handled in one phrase,  and we got on with the task at hand -- I also got to tell my favorite Great Aunt tale about the naming of the Gandy Bridge.
The cherry on the top was the call from Lee (while I was in class) which I returned much later.  He was just checking in and wanted to say Hi.
