Late yesterday -- just about supper time, Dan came over from across the street and asked if they could borrow a card table and a couple of chairs. Seems they had a few more guests than they had seating for dinner. Dan and I carried the folding table and two chairs from the Lanai over to their house. This morning, when I was going out to have my coffee and read the paper; low and behold, the table and chairs were back in place -- and a lot cleaner than when we took them across the street. I was really pleased that Dan and Betsy asked, and I could help them out. They have been wondering what they could do -- and I must tell them that yesterday was it!
Had to get grapefruit delivered, Party City visited for decorative stuff, the UPS store to get the boxes off to Marcia, and Publix to pick up some needed kitchen supplies. They didn't have my Preservision, so I will have to get that tomorrow when I do the big grocery buy. Hope they have it -- or I can get it special ordered. While on the errands, Nancy called, saying she was coming over to clean. Thank goodness I had that new entry lock put on the front door. She just used her code, and came on in and started. When I got home, and got everything put in place -- including the few utensils I had washed earlier -- we had a moment to chat, and she got the low-down on why all the changes to the rooms. When she left, everything was spotless -- just hope I can keep it that way till Thursday.
Got Jarrod's birthday gift ordered and sent, Talked to the folks at SHARE to give Dea a quick rundown on the conversations I had Saturday, and found out I can pick up my sausage tomorrow -- just have to add that to the list. I think I will be running errands all day tomorrow!
Also heard from Blaine with his recommendations for the website. I think he has the right idea about changing it over to an e-book style. He suggested that if I was not really concerned about income from the site, we could funnel any profit into The Margaret Gandy Scholarship Fund. Maybe I need to get a meeting with that committee of the PTSA to talk about this on a long term basis. I finally did get the list of those who contributed "in lieu of flowers" -- so a meeting would include some questions I have about that also (concerning thank yous). Anyway, I sent an email to Web Full Circle asking them to email me a complete backup of the mysql database, and specifically asking that the "create table statements" be included.
Heard from Anna -- she suggested I order the .ppt program since she has not yet done it. I called the supply center, found out that product is on backorder (and has been for a while), so I guess I will add writing the manual for Safe Driver Training into PowerPoint. That way it will an aid to teaching the course and managing the video. I really want to make maximum use of the timing feature, so I can get everything covered in 6 hours. Anna also told me she was sending me an email with the date of the course I will be teaching in July -- and it will be at Hyde Park UMC! I am very pleased. That may end up being "my" center in the future. Also let Anna know that right now, I want to be on her "backup list" that she uses when a course is scheduled and she has to call in an instructor at the last minute.
As I look back over the day, it was quite full. And best of all, it was full of interaction with others. The Thursday brunch is coming together -- Mike M. sent word that he has to be in Birmingham that day -- so the early date setting did not make it through the changes that are progress right now. Maybe I am beginning to get a rhythm established -- and developing patience in setting up things to develop that I want to happen. It is late (or early, depending on your perspective) and my appointment in the morning is at 8:30, so I'm heading to bed.
