Finally a weekend at home to catch up with stuff. Colin came home yesterday with more stuff than he left with, so extra work there. I had asked for a load of mulch for Mother's Day, so I am relaxing after moving all but one wheelbarrow full of the six yards of mulch. I didn't expect to do it all today, but with so little time to garden these days, I just kept going and going. Its a beautiful day and we are having a luncheon with Mom tomorrow, so this was it. Jay is working on the pier so we are really behind this year. He had to make an emergency trip to our wonderful eye doctor for a suspected piece of metal in the eye. Turned out there was no metal, but he sliced a piece off of his eyeball which should heal by tomorrow.

My work continues to be interesting as my boss transitions out and the evil psychologist gets meaner to me. He is in his death throes with the organization, I hope, so I should be fine. Is there a job out there without some crazy person making life nuts? 10 more years! One of our offices will be moving, we are hiring new people and we continue to be busy, so I have lots to do. The lease is up on the office we rent in Burlington and there are about 5 more people in it than should be, so Aurora is buying and renovating an old bank building to house us. Its a neat building and when they do this, everyone gets new everything, so it should be great. The evil psychologist says the building in inappropriate and if they move there he is not going, he will stay where he is. Many of us hope that he does just that. This will be happening sometime around the end of the year, or we have to rent yurts and find a parking lot to put them in.

Our clinic continue to have some business but Jay is ripping out his remaining hair dealing with insurance. I still do the billing which is much smaller, but if I hadn't gotten a job, we would be in dire straits by now. So, I must not let the evil psychologist get the better of me.

Bridget and I had a nice weekend last weekend visiting Frank Llloyd Wright's place, exploring Eagle Cave with 200 Boy Scouts, and hanging out at her teacher's beautiful land near Richland Center. We opted not to sleep in the wet, muddy cave with 200 Boy Scouts and their beer swilling leaders, and Bridget bailed out of sleeping under the stars on Sat. night when the rain came. That bed in the van is pretty good.

This week kept us busy with 3 soccer games, two at home and one in Kenosha. Bridget played 6 games, both varsity and JV,
and had a field trip to Chicago this week and she caddied this AM. We sat for 12 hours, one night with Grandma and Grandpa in the rain, so it is nice to be home. Only one game next week and then the season is over.

Well, I should get up and put some yard stuff away. Hope everyone else is well and had a good Mother's Day. Hopefully we can get together soon. Love, Susan
