I went to the church to do some computer work to get ready to run my month end reports. It went well. I didn't go to exercise class because my arm was hurting me. I have tendinitis in my upper right arm and last Thursday the exercise made it feel worse even though I tried not to move it much.
The other ladies were not able to get there because there was an accident on the bridge and the traffic couldn't get through. The parents were not able to get their children to the pre-school.
I spent the rest of the day arranging my trip to my brother-in-law's wedding. I called Ted's mother to make sure I could stay with her and someone could pick me up at the airport. Then I went on line to make a plane reservation. I entered all the information but I had troubled getting it to go through. I had to call and get some help. There was a section to buy extra stuff and I had skipped it but I had to check the 'NO" box to get it to go through.
After getting all that arranged, I signed my brother and myself to walk in an event to support my cousin, Tom whose has a brain injury. I had to do that twice as it only let me register one at a time. When I went back it, it told me I was already registered so I had to change my sign in information to register my brother. What a pain. What if some wanted to register a family of 4 or 6. They would have to do it from the beginning 4 or 6 times and change the sign in information each time.
That done, I had to make arrangements for Sparky when I go on my trip. I went to my next door neighbor but she didn't answer the door. I figured she must be in the shower or maybe taking a nap. Anyway, I took my shower to get ready for my concert and she came to the door. She was glad to dog sit Sparky. She said her kids keep asking her to get a dog so this will be a good test for them. She'll take Sparky into her house and the kids can play with him and he will be able to sleep with one of them. I am so glad because I hate putting him in the kennel. I think he was frightened when I left him there last year. When I went to get him, he wanted to make a beeline for the door. He was trying to jump out of my arms. I couldn't get his leash on. I had to hold him while my brother put on the leash. He, he was out of there.
I finished getting ready for my concert and had a little dinner of a chicken leg and some veggies.
The concert was in Elkton this time. Baker's Restaurant is where I meet Joan when going to Elkton and they are usually closed on Tuesday. Tonight, they were having a special dinner as a fundraiser for one of their waitress who has cancer. I was going to take a donation inside but the parking lot was crowded. Cars kept driving around waiting for someone to come out so they could put in. I decided to go on down to Joan's house and saw her coming out of her driveway. I pulled in a space across from her lane and told her what was going on. She had to back up her driveway so I could park my car.
The concert went well and we got a standing ovation. The church had a pipe organ and Kevin our director played the special music at the intermission time. It was wonderful to hear the organ belting out the music.
The ladies of the church served refreshments afterward. I hadn't had any sugar treats all day so I piled up my plate.
Home again, Home again. Baker's still had a lot of cars in their lot. I'm glad they had a successful fund raiser.
