Well, in my last blog I told you about Jenn & Kelsey's trip to London, so now I will tell you what Courtney and I did while they were gone. I took off Monday and Good Friday and worked the rest of the week. Since Courtney was out of school, we had to decide what to do with her while I worked.
So, Monday I spent the day with her - (Opry Mills for lunch, Glow Golf, & a carousel ride), errands, and playing Wii at home. Later that day, I drove her to McMinnville (ate supper with Glen & Peggy, worked on Peggy's laptop) and left Courtney there for the week. I expected some anxiety or apprehension when I left, but she kept asking me when I was leaving. :-( She is growing up and getting independent on me. That is the first time she has spent the night at Grandmama & Grandpapa's without one of us there (4 nights without us). I got back home around 10 PM and off to work the next morning.
Courtney actually spent the night with a friend from school (Jessica - who is in her class & her mother is Courtney's Educational Assistant) earlier in March and Jessica has spent a night with Courtney also.
Tuesday night I went to a Predators game. They lost 4 - 2 to the Washington Capitals (we kept Ovechkin in check from scoring until he got an empty net goal at the end, but he had assists on 2 of the other goals). Wednesday night my cousin Greg and his son Brad came over from Greenback TN and spent Wednesday and Thursday nights with me. Brad is going to be attending Austin Peay next year and he went for a visit on Thursday. They went with me to a Tennessee Tech MBA Alumni social Thursday night and then to the Predators - Red Wings game. We lost again 6 - 3 and it was beginning to look like we would miss the playoffs (lost 5 of the last 6 home games at that point). Greg and Brad left Friday morning and took a tour of The Hermitage before going home.
I left during the UT - American NCAA basketball tournament game and listened to it on the radio on my way back to McMinnville. I didn't think it would be much of a game, but it was close until the last few minutes and UT pulled away and won by 15. We had an Easter get together with some friends Friday night (the kids colored Easter eggs & played games).
Peggy's family came over Saturday afternoon for their annual Easter dinner and everyone had a good time. Phillip & me took Courtney, Tanner, & Trace to see Horton Hears a Who. Trace thought it was "amazing"and Courtney & Tanner kept repeating "a person is a person no matter how small". It was a cute movie. When we got back to the house, the Easter Bunny had come early and left baskets on the back porch for the kids. They were way excited.
We got up early Sunday morning and went to a Sunrise service at their church, ate breakfast in their fellowship hall, and then stayed for the early service. Since we were back early, we decided to pack up and we left early to get back home in time to watch the UT - Butler game. UT barely pulled that one also, but made it to the Sweet 16. Then we picked up Jenn & Kelsey at the airport (they got in about 5:10 or so). We were really glad to see them, but we didn't get to hear too many stories that day because they were so tired.
Well, that is a little bit more information for you, I will try to update more tomorrow. It is midnight and time for me to get in bed.
