Well, another weekend down and it's back to work. :-(

Liz and I were back in Clintonville last weekend for a whole lot of celebrating. Of course, Mother's Day was yesterday. In addition to that, though, my buddy, Nate, just turned 25 and my dad's birthday is coming up in a couple weeks, so we were busy celebrating all of those things.

As always, the biggest challenge is to try to see everyone over the course of a short weekend. This weekend went pretty well, but we cheated a little bit. ;-) Kara and Dean were over at my mom's place for Mother's Day, so we managed to see all of them with one shot. Then, my dad came over to Nate's place Saturday night so we could see both of them together. I tell you - it sure saves a lot of time when you can get some folks together.

Anyway, it was a nice weekend and it was a lot of fun seeing everyone again.

Dean is in the running for the phys ed/athletics director position at Clintonville Senior High right now. It sounds like his interviews have gone very well and it's down to just him and one other candidate right now. Supposedly, he'll know by the middle of this week. I sure hope everything goes well.

Gavin is doing well, of course. He's still as cute as ever and getting bigger all the time. He's almost 2 now so it's getting to the point where he can start being naughty. I haven't heard too many bad stories, but I guess he likes to run into the kitchen and hit the water button on the fridge so that water runs all over the kitchen. ;-)

Kara is busy as can be at work right now. She says it just keeps on getting busier until the school year is over. Fortunately, she's only got a few weeks left and she's done for a couple months. Gee - that must be nice.

Anyway, it was a nice weekend and great to see everyone again. Liz and I made it back home last night around 7:30. It was looking like rain, but I fertlizied the yard last night, anyway. It really needed to be done and it's supposed to rain all week, so I supposed last night was as good a time as any. Of course, last night around 10:30, we had a monster storm hit Rochester. The lightning just wouldn't stop and we even had some hail come down for a while. It was a little nastier of a storm than I'd have liked, but we needed the rain. Of course, if it rains all week, my lawn is going to look like a rain-forest before I can mow it again.

Well, I suppose that's about enough for my scatter-brained post this morning. I've got my appointment at Mayo this afternoon (which I'm really not looking forward to) but no real plans for tonight. Maybe Liz and I will run some errands and try to chill out a bit.

I suppose I should actually do something, so I guess I'll get going. Take care, everyone.
