Diane's Diary-ah

Haven't had any time to write in this thing...really!!  My folks flew in on Wednesday and it has been pretty much non-stop ever since. I have been their chauffeur pretty much the whole time, not that I mind. Really only been on the internet long enough to read my email and check out another sheltie that we'd like to adopt from sheltie rescue. :)

Picked up the folks at the airport after their flight arrived a half hour late which put us right in the thick of rush hour that we crawled in for a while until we got further north on I-35 .    They like their hotel okay except they heard a lot of noise one night which sometimes can't be avoided.  Offered to let them stay at my sister's or my house (although we only have a 'single' bed in the one bedroom that is my daughter's who is away at college).  I don't mind the hotel thing except that they can't get anywhere unless I pick them up :). I've shown them downtown Georgetown, the local country club, Sun City, WOOD STOCK and places like that.  I told them how much the deer hang around all the time and they hadn't seen any until last night when we were coming back from a dance show at the highschool that my other daughter was in.  I saw one on the side of the road and slowed down to a crawl so they could see it. 

Oh yes the dance show was good although Stacey was only in one number that only went about a minute and a half!    She looked very pretty and is really happy that she made the school's dance team.  I'm glad too because I knew she missed dance and although she has a dance class in her regular school schedule, it is not the level that a dance studio is and I'm sure she knows how to do everything that is taught during class.

My folks did find, put an offer in, counter-offer a few times, and got under agreement a house right up the street from us which will make it really convenient if they need me for something.  I can be there in less than 5 minutes via car (and can walk it in about 15 I think).  Hopefully all will go smoothly in the selling of their house and buying of this one.  It is still a little up in the air as to whether or not my sis and I are flying out to help them by driving their car out here.  Mom didn't like the turbulence with flying and did mention maybe she'd rather ride back with us. Dad said he wouldn't mind driving but he didn't think mom would be able to sit that long.  ...so who knows.

Well I just got a call from them and need to hop in the shower before I pick them up today. Other than that there isn't a whole lot new going on. Took off work Wed half day and all of Thurs/Friday. Got 3 new files overnighted to me for my side biz - ugh-  Now I feel like I am behind the 8 ball with work. Maybe my sis can take them back to the airport tomorrow so I don't lose 2 hours.
