I have been remiss in attending to my blogging dutires. I will not be very complete on my reporting tonight. I wanted to report highlights of my week.
-I am on vacation next week. Going to be visiting the Big Apple. I'm gonna wake-up in the city that doesn't sleep.
-Thursday when I went back to my home base there were two huge red fire trucks in the parking lot. The power crew did a 5 hour engine run, which takes the building off commercial ac and runs it on auxilary power. Thursday was one of the hottest days we have had so far. At the end of the 5 hours, when the engine was turned off, leaves and debris that had collected on the grate of the engine stack settled on the extremely hot grate, ignited and sent smoke through out the building. The power tech did not know the smokes source so the building was vacated and fire trucks were called. Arlington FD has some very hunky looking firemen.
-I purchased a dress for me and Leah to wear in NYC. We are going to a book launch for Ann Richards book about living with osteoporosis. The dress I got for Leah had been abused and needed some zipper repair. I thought I could stitch the existing zipper and found today that I do not have the proper equipment to do that. So, I am trying to buy a zipper that I can add and still have pretty dress for Leah to wear. I tried the dress on and I love it. I hope Leah loves it too.
-I got to have dinner with two friends from the business office. We met at Mac's. It was wonderful, the food the atmosphere the conversation--were all great.
Addendem to the above entry. In paragraph number 4, I wrote that I purchased a dress for me and Leah---I actually purchased 2 dresses, one for me and one for Leah. In paragraph number 3 the building was not vacated, it was evacuated. In the last paragraph, the two friends that I had dinner with were Martha Muzyka and Debra Jensen.
