Just wanted to say hi buds and let you guys know I am still here. I have been swamped at work lately so I am sorry for being out of touch. I have been coordinating our big sales meeting at our offices that takes place next Tues/Wed including a fancy dinner for 30 at our sales manager's home in Winter Park on Tuesday evening. I feel like we are planning a wedding for that...it is beyond casual which is what it was supposed to be very cas but, it is definitely not. It is certainly out of the norm for my work duties but, such is life. Anyway, things will be back to normal on Wednesday after 3pm...yippee. Work is good though...I had a great meeting with my manager the other day and we are looking to adding some different responsibilities and title change in near future. I am not big on titles but, new things to do would be great. I would still do some of my usual job but, also learn some of the products to become more involved with creating sales presentations etc. :o)
We have also been busy fundraising for Mom's walk. The last ADA committee meeting went well but, we still need more corporate sponsorships for this walk. Kirk, Dad, and I are giving Grandmom a birthday dinner for her on Sunday, Oct 5th for her church friends. There will be about 11 total. So we have been preparing for that...got the carpet cleaned and we even got some new couches in her fam room from American Signature which was greatly needed for a long time. She is pleased which is great. Mom had planned to do this dinner for her last year but, as you know timing didn't work out so we are doing it this year...if anyone deserves this especially this year... it is Grandmom!
Sunday 9/28 we are going to see JP/Lucy/Uncle T for a day trip to Sarasota...it will be nice to visit them. We are also getting excited for our Hawaii trip. Kirk found a scuba forum on-line and we took a trip to blue springs so he could scuba with them and I think he found some potential guys to scuba with here and there....which is great. While we were in blue springs I suggested for Kirk and I to go to Tom's Pizza for lunch but, can you believe they are closed on weekends? How weird is that in a college town? So we went to the good old standby....Gator's! We had some yummy wings.
For Hawaii...we leave Oct 11-Oct 23. On the way there, we are staying with Blain/Loretta in LA for a weekend layover. Should be a trip of a lifetime...a dream. The weekend after Mom's walk (walk is on Nov 1st), Dad and I are doing the "Great Day in the Country" craft show in Oviedo on Saturday, Nov 8th. Dad said he is doing this for Mom as she always wanted to do that show...we will be putting out pieces that they already had done from last show and we are working on some new things too. I am really glad we are doing it. I don't think that she would believe it...the fact that we got in the show let alone that we are doing it. I sure wish she were here but, I know she is and is proud.
Needless to say things are a little busy lately which I know you all are too. I am trying to fight off a cold as I need to be well for this sales meeting next week...so lots of rest and fluids this weekend.
Hugs to all...miss you bunches!
love, krames

Okay Krame you get the busiest award. Good God! I can't believe you could talk Grams into new couches, I thought she would've had the other one forever. See you soon.
