The weekend in review!

I'm starting to feel more human again. Actually from Saturday on I've been much better. No fever but still a snotty nose and cough. just enough to be annoying.

Looks like Courtney is going to be off to Europe this summer with People to People. The trip sounds awesome! England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. She is raising all the money for her trip this time except for the deposit. We'll fork over the $400. She may be hitting you up with one of her fund raisers! Tomorrow she is going to re-work her babysitting fliers. She has to raise about $5,200 for her adventure. She has to bring in about $500 a month. We were very generous with the Australian trip last time but not this time! I think she'll appreciate it more if she actually works for it. Not that she didn't appreciate getting to go to Australia. Maybe self-reliant, proud would be a better choice of words.

Saturday Jim and I went to see Leanne Rhymes with the Nashville Symphony was really good we enjoyed it! We also caught the very beginning of the Predator preseason game with the Hurricanes. Talk about two really different events !
I felt silly going to a Hockey game in heels... They were Charles David's and AWESOME! but not really hockey foot wear... We got a peek at the rookies at least. it was a fun night.

Katie started her Saxophone lessons Friday. She'll be going every other week. Just to get a bit of a leg up. She is doing really well so far. She seems to like it a lot because she practices without me bugging her! She actually has pretty good tone, and sounds good most of the time... Others a bit like a moose or goose in HEAT or pain not sure which....

My transmission is trying to go out on my van. Guess I'll be spending the day either today or tomorrow at the shop. Oh joy. Of course the van is just out of warranty 62,000 miles...

Courtney has another eye doctor appointment to get her new contacts. She had a slight eye infection Thursday so he couldn't do the exam. She's had to wear her glasses all weekend. which she wasn't happy about. Hopefully it is cleared up today!

Well, that is about all my news for now! have a good one!

Good for you for having your daughter raise her Europe trip money. That is such a wonderful idea and you're right, she'll appreciate it so much more. :)

Courtney did raise some of the money for her last trip, about $800 but that was no way near the $6300 that it cost. What she raised she used as spending money.
