Back to my real life.......

 Oh my 20 days off went way to fast! I had visions of getting all kinds of stuff done but that did not happen. It was very nice to have the time off to recover. My hands are doing very good, almost fully recovered. So today's blog will just be a little catch up on what I have been up to.

On March 13 we drove down to Louisville KY for the Indoor Nationals. We left at  5:00 in the morning and got there around 5:00 that evening. After getting to Louisville we went to the convention center and Rick checked in for the shoot. This year we decided to get a hotel in Indiana because the hotels in downtown Louisville are super expensive and the hotel we stayed at was only 10 minutes away from the tournament.

After checking things out at the convention center we decided to head back to our hotel and try and find some place to eat. Since it was a Friday night and already 7:30 everything was packed.

So right across from the hotel was a Golden Corral. So we figured we would just go there. Neither of us have been to a Golden Corral in years and years and now I remember why. We laughed at the "seafood spectacular" because it turned out to be deep fried shrimp and some other kind of deep fried fish. And lets just say I felt like I was overdressed in my blue jeans and henley shirt. We had a good time "people watching."

Rick shot Saturday and Sunday afternoon. It was not his best scoring weekend but he had lots of fun shooting. We left Louisville around 6:00 and made it to the border of IA and then stopped for the night. Monday we stopped at Chrsita and Jese's house and picked up the dogs and were home around 3:30. It was fast but fun weekend away.

 I finally got back down to my sewing room. I  had this skirt cut out to make Josie for 2 months and never had time to sew it. It turned out super cute.

As you can see Josie loved it. It is a little long for her but that is okay since it is more of a winter skirt. It will fit her good next fall.

I went back to work on Tuesday. It was a sad, sad day. I really did not want to go back, I did not miss it at all. Those 20 short days I had off gave me a taste of what retirement will be like and I loved it. It has made me even more motivated to set things in motion so I can go down to working part time in the next few years. Hopefully within in the next two. I can only dream......
