Britt's big getaway (kinda) and Grandma & Papa Visit!

Well, Britt left us for a long weekend in Texas. She first flew to Austin to visit Tory, Milam, William and Caroline. She then drove to Houston to meet some friends. She went to Corpus Christi to spread some ashes of her dear friend Jana who was killed in a helicopter accident last year. She was a flight nurse and they were transporting a patient to the Medical Center in really poor weather. I know that wasn't a fun part of her trip, but I hope that seeing her friends and performing that duty will provide some closure and make things a little easier for her. She then had a trip to MD Anderson for her checkup. Normally, this is not a fun time for her, however this year her report was so great they didn't even perform the dreaded bone marrow test! That's great news and we're all going to celebrate tonight!

So, what we did while she was gone you ask?

Well, my parents came into town and so began the "honey do's..."
1) Install fan in our front room (porch area) - Check. Actually my dad did this before she even left.
2) Replace broken microwave (built in above stove) - Check. Actually my dad did this before she even left.
3) Fix the natural gas lamp in the front of the house - Check, turned into quite the project...
4) Fix the junk drawer with striped screws - Check
5) Pick up dog dirt - Check
6) Mow the lawn - Check
