Seats upright .... Seat Belts Fastened...

Ladies and Gentlemen.... Please prepare for final landing... (Thanks Jennie)...

Countdown to May 11th has begun. The timetable got moved up 2 weeks because the "Well-Oiled Machine"'s Capstone Academic Presentation is May 11th. Graduation is May 25th.

So what's happened in the past month? Eesh... here's the short-version.

-Baking up a storm for Dad's SAR State Conference Reception.
-C.A.R. Convention Planning
-learning to play the zither, re-learning the fife, and perfecting the thumb piano for the Colonial Entertainment program
-Incessant costume fittings (Mom made our outfits - pictures to come!)
-Presenting said Entertainment program at a record-attendance SAR Ladies' Event
-Enjoying Dad presiding at SAR State's Banquet in the same ballroom where I presided C.A.R. State Conference!
-Snow... which threw off a Potluck (rescheduled for this weekend!)
-double-booked meetings, and I even forgot about both of them!
-Delivery of the huge 200+ page Information Assurance Plan for a class. Rant: We got "nickel and dimed" to the point that we only got an 80% on it!
-V.S.C.A.R. State Conference where Miss Michelle presided. *good times*
- Planning for VADAR Juniors Club meeting and Breakfast- It's a casino theme this year!!
-Girl Scout planning meetings for Great Falls Day and the Girl Scout Sunday celebration
-client-site interview, where I start working tomorrow.

and that brings us mostly up-to-date.

Our house has a happier aura to it now. No more talk of backstabbing political moves. No more stress of stupid people trying to keep their nose in everything we do. No more planning to cover inevitable sticky situations.

Onto happier places and thoughts... and to finish out Conference Season
