Vacation time is here!

Hurray! I'm officially on vacation! Em and I leave for Vegas on Tuesday. Today is my usual run around day. Errands and more errands.
My background on my blog disappeared, I don't know why...Well, I tried to pick a cute one and got frustrated so I picked an easy one. At least I have one now.
Not much has been going on, work and work.
Last Sunday was a hard day. It was the anniversary of the death of two family members. July 25th we lost Sonny and my Dad. It was not a good day for Carl. On top of that, our little kitty girl, Socks, had become ill. We knew we had to do the right thing for her. I took her Monday and had her put to sleep. She was Sonny's kitten when he died and we took her into our home. She gave us fifteen years of love and joy. We will miss her! You bring animals into your life but it sure does hurt when they leave. The joy of unconditional love from them is worth the pain. They are like our kids. I have always had a pet since I was a little girl and I have lots of happy memories of my "best friends".
I went to Birmingham for a continuing education conference yesterday. 8 hours of sheer boredom! Now, I'm on vacation and I'm am so glad! Hope all of you who read this are well and I hope to have lots to share when we come home from Vegas.
