A new week, A new opportunity to start again.

Good morning. This weekend was busy....

Karen did a great job of cleaning up the garage Thursday. Saturday Morning/Afternoon I managed to trash it again. I build a kitchen table for Bob's house in Greenville. It came out pretty well. It had a couple of issues but for a design on the fly.... More on that later.

The band had their "end of band camp performance" Saturday evening. The performance was followed by a pot luck dinner and parent meeting. The band got a lot accomplished at this year's camp, more than in years past. They marched into the football stadium but did not march any of the show because it had rained and the field was a bit wet and had not been lined yet. So they did their thing on the track. This years band seems to have the discipline and drive and desire to do their best. Something that has lacked over the past couple of years. From my view, and the view of other parents involved in the band, the enthusiasm and determination this year emanates from the band officers (Tyler and company) and the rest of the band is falling in line. Ty has been working tirelessly getting there early, working through lunch and leaving late. He is quite a leader. I am looking forward to the first football game... er... band performance in three weeks.

Bob chronicled the week's events in a video production. He burned a DVD for the band director and to be shown at the potluck. The band director was enormously impressed with the end product He previewed it that morning and encouraged Bob to sell copies at the potluck. It was well received by the parents and kids. Karen took orders after the meeting. She gathered 22 orders and many others said they would mail the form to us.

Sunday morning, Bob Karen and I got up early and, with the families of Bob's new housemates, moved most of the kid's furniture down to Greenville. Bob does not start school for another couple of weeks but the lease on the house starts August first. We got all the furniture in, including my table, which the kids thought was awesome. We hung the curtains that Karen made for the house. Got the shower curtains up etc.. It would not have been to bad except the electricity was not on yet. It was hot and muggy. I sweated through a couple of shirts and could not keep the sweat off my glasses. But we got them moved in. Bob is going to go down Thursday again with some more stuff.

That, in a nutshell is what I did this weekend.
