I kind of liked having the sailboats in the sunset. After the sun set we realized there were many houses on the island in the right of the photo. We even noticed more islands that we did not see before because of the glaring sun.
I had an extra three week days to recover from the vacation and I have to say, I think I needed each and every one. I must have slept through Sunday and most of Monday. It was also so cold when we returned I could not move very far away from my electric heater. Of course, having the heater on may have contributed to my sleepiness.
Sigh. I guess I am ready to go back to work today. I tried to keep up with the e-mail messages. I still am not certain if I am supposed to report to a school this morning or go directly to my office. I will go over some of the early messages to see. I recall reading a message or two "...when Peruby returns from vacation....", so I will re-read.
I shopped for the food supplies for the wedding shower yesterday. I am making calico beans, taco dip, cheese tray and the punch. Non alcoholic. I am going to try a recipe that uses cranberry juice, pineapple juice, ginger ale, sugar and almond extract. I have never purchased almond extract before. Ouch!
The cake is ordered. I have to print off a pretty picture of a rainbow and run it over to the bakery today. I was out of yellow ink at home. The bakery will take any photo you print and create the edible picture and decorate around it. I may keep it simple and have this one: simple. I really like this one: bars and this one: butterfly.
A nice lady helped me decide on what to do for favors. I will assemble and take pictures. I have a party out of town Friday night so I do not have much time! Yikes!

You are a very busy person. How come you're involved in so much. You need so much rest to keep going. When you're working on a job out side the home, you need to refresh yourself, otherwise you spin out, become depressed and say things you wish you hadn't done and do things you wish you hadn't said. My unasked for advise would be to slow down. But then there's that old adage, 'if you want something done, give it to a busy person'. Hope you get rested up and feeling better.
Bill,
You are so right on many counts. And, I didn't even mention that I volunteered to go to my nieces' house on Sunday to set up a computer program.
I live alone (now) and just cannot pass up the chance to be out and about with people. My Mom was a recluse and I am afraid of becoming one also. If it were not for family, I probably would not ever leave the house other than work and grocery shopping.
Still, I must take care of myself. I do need some R&R for myself from time to time. I will heed your advice.
