Round 1 is over and it went very well.   Ash did indeed get a chance to speak but just said Thank you for coming and please donate money.   The posters were not back from the printer yet but hopefully they will have them before the day is over.    <br /><br />Sue - A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your grandma.   98 - what a wonderful age to reach.   Hope she enjoys her special day.<br /><br />Jim knows we got our stimulus check only because I needed him to sign it.   lol    I made quick work of that.    <br /><br />Jim did get the light fixed for me.  He tried the potato but there was really nothing for the potato to grab on to but he thought it was a great idea and will remember it for the future.   He finally had to use a pair of pliers to twist the base out of the socket.    Of course it was followed by a long lecture about climbing on ladders when he is not home but I mostly tuned him out and said &quot;yes dear&quot;  <br /><br />Deb - glad things went well last night.   I&#39;m sure it was hard but you got to speak and say what you wanted.    I&#39;m sure the service was lovely.<br /><br />Andrea - how is Dad this morning?   Hope he is doing better.<br /><br />Karla - sorry the second house fell through.    I&#39;m sure they were very disappointed.<br /><br />Maria - Congratulations to your granddaughters.   I&#39;m sure you are very proud of them.<br /><br />Well I need to be back at the hotel by 11:45 so I need to get to the grocery store and get a few things done beforehand.     <br /><br />I&#39;ll check back after round 2 - Ash is already working on her speech.   She&#39;s such an introverted little girl - she should really come out of her shell a bit.   lol
