I am trying to finish up work projects before I scoot out of here and learn how to hula :o). I am here through Friday. While I am out of the office....I have delegated my job to two co-workers. I think that things will be fine. I am super excited and can't believe our trip is here already. We leave this saturday and return Thurs 10/23. I admit that we are very blessed and lucky to have this opportunity. I would NEVER imagined going to Hawaii until I was retired. It is a trip I have always wanted to take. I know my Mom was pleased and excited that I was going. So, I am going to go and ENJOY! Life is way to short not to enjoy every moment, right?
Things are good here. We have been busy busy with crafts and GM's bday dinner. Her dinner was Sunday night and it went really well. Dad, Kirk, Blain, Loretta, and I paid for everything for the dinner...that was our gift. Grandmom was overwhelmed. There were 11 dinner attendees total and it was sit down. Dad had the suggestion to wear white button up shirts and black pants to serve... I wore a black skirt. It was very cute that he suggested that...that is totally something my Mom would have suggested. Too Funny. Grandmom had a wonderful time and so did her friends...they seemed to enjoy being served. We had a full bar, Appetizers: Shrimp Cocktail and Bruschetta, Entree: Poppyseed Chicken over egg noodles with asparagus almondine. Cake: Carrot Cake from Publix but, it was done with the basket weave design and flowers...it looked very nice. The flower arrangements looked great and the table was set with formal everything. All her friends were very impressed and are still talking about it. Grandmom said that she doesnt think anyone can top her party. We are glad she enjoyed it and I know Mom and Aunt Jackie are too :o).
By the way, our team "Paula's Sous Chefs" have raised $3,325 so far! Wow, huh? I just know we will make it to our $3,500 goal...maybe even over :o).
Well, we need to get packing tonight and I also need to finish a few more things for crafts so Dad can keep it going while we are gone. It does feel strange to be gone for so long but, it will be FUN. I am also very excited to see my bro this weekend. I told him I really don't want to do too many things because we are only there for 1 night so I would rather just hang out together.
I promise to take lots of pictures on our trip (you know Kirk will). Kirk is home sick today so we are trying to get him well before our trip...he has a dr appt this am. He is determined to get well.
So, off to Hawaii we go...we are still in US so feel free to give me a ring on my cell and keep me posted. I will miss you guys! Keep Smiling buds!
Love and Hugs :o)

Have a blast Kramer--yuou deservea great vacation!
I wish I was skinny so I could fit into a suitcase and go with you! Not that you would want me tagging around, but I would love to go back. Make sure you relax on the islands and give your brother lots of kisses and hugs. I will be thinking of you, jealous of you and missing you while you are gone.
