And just like that the weekend is over...Friday night event was a big success and clients were thrilled so that made working on Friday night managable. Hubby came home from JAX, late but home all the same.

I was so excited to show Winona to two strong perspective candidates - neither showed. I don't know how to get appearance rate up. Any suggestions? Rental canddiates. I spoke with "Cheryl" four times over the course of last week about her dog, her son, monthly rent. She sounded legitimate. And another guy called Friday afternoon, we booked an appointment for the next morning.

We spent two hours there yesterday for nothing - neither showed. Maybe this is what property management is all about? How hard is it to call and cancel an appointment if you're not going to show? It's rude.

In-laws were in an out in an instant, though we had a lovely visit. And I worked most of today, trying to catch up from the last two crazy weeks and prep for being out of commision this week (in training).

Hubby is in Phoenix much of this week; I'm in MIA all of next. I think, I hope, there is a light at the end of the tunnel coming soon...

Fabulous weekend so far - we went to Winona yesterday (looks awesome, gutting pretty much finished now) and then spent a considerable amount of time at Lowe's. Chris has actually visited nearly every hardware store within a 5 mile radius of the house since Friday for various things.

We've done a ton of work at the house - I planted the vegetable garden!! Oh my it is going to be a great summer: nine different varieties of toms, eggplant, peppers, green beans, brussel sprouts (first time for me), zucchini and cucumbers. I can't wait. Flower garden is finished. Trying to figure out what to do in the retched tree lawn. The water feature is up, fence fixed, patio furniture refinished. Wow, busy couple of days.

We have a b-day party downtown tonight. It is supposed to rain tomorrow but I'm hoping not so we can relax on the porch all day and admire the hard work.

Happy Memorial Day!

Not that you didn't see this one coming but this was the longest week ever! I never really recovered from the Vegas hangover, again no surprise, and just got crushed at work. I have a thousand errands and am counting the minutes until the long weekend. The in-laws were here Wed & Thurs which means lots of good eating and drinking. No rest for the weary!!

It is supposed to be warm and sunny beginning tomorrow. We have virtually no plans. We're visiting Winona to do some work. Need to do some things in the yard and just catch up. I'm so excited I might not make it to the afternoon...

More to come.
