I'm a bad blogger...

So it's been 20 days since my last post and the only thing that's really happened since then is Algonquin Founders Days. Jeff & I had to sleep in the RV down at the park Friday night and it rained 5 inches overnight. The park flooded and we walked thru the over-its-banks creek, (it was up to our mid-calfs), in order to get to our car. They had to cancel all activities in the park for Saturday and Sunday due to flooding. In the 50 years it's gone on, that's never happened! It was so sad to see all the board members faces. It was like they woke up Christmas morning only to hear Christmas was canceled. Months of planning, hours and hours of work down the tubes.
:( The parade & fireworks still happened and we enjoyed them as much as we could all while knowing that the lost revenue will hurt next years fest. We walked around before the fireworks to collect donations and I'm sure there will be other fund raisers to come. The after party is in three weeks at Kevin's and should be fun.

Vacation

We got back last week from vacation with Jeff's side of the family in North Carolina. I enjoyed our day trip to Savannah, GA the best. The history & architecture of historic downtown is so interesting! And the "Forrest Gump" stuff was, of course, awesome. Oh, and lunch at Paula Dean's? Please! Damn that woman can cook! Aside from that we saw Fort Sumtner where the civil war started and spent time chilling on the beach. Found out just how much Jeff is not a "beach" guy. And actually, I've always like on or two days laying by a pool but I too am not much of a beach person. I got really really sick the day we left with a stomach bug. Never do I want to have to be in the car for 11 hours when I'm that sick again. But now for a week it's been back to work and the daily grind. After the great interview before we left for vacation, I hope to be working at an ad agency in Huntley by months end and quit Target. Especially since my tennis elbow has come back and the doc recommends physical therapy and "finding a differant job". Ha! I hate it, so I have no problem with the recommendation, now if only it will work out!! Founders Days is in two weeks, so Jeff's busy with that. I'd like to be able to quit and have my last day be the day before the fest starts so I can enjoy those four days and then start at the new job. Fingers crossed!
