Good afternoon all.<br />I am back among the living now&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  It was a long weekend between both jobs, the daughters emotions of moving out for 21 days, and getting the pool open.<br /><br />Thanks to all that asked about Mandy doing the marathon.  She did and she completed the entire 13.5 miles.  She was not the fastest but she was not the slowest.  It took her a half hour to just get to the start line for all of the other runners (there were 35,000 participants).  She ran part and walked mosted but completed it in 3 hr 15 minutes and was (get this) 26,789 to cross the finish line.  Her thoughts was there were still 8200 behind her.  Her legs were definately sore and still were yesterday evening when I talked to her.<br /><br />Mandy left yesterday morning at 5 am and will not be back to the house until 5/27.  Needless to say it was an emotional Sat. evening and yesterday morning.  The girl is not good about being away from home for two days let alone 23 days.  With working at the motor speedway she will be working 7 days and 15 hour days until after the race, that means no fiancee, mom or dad, just work and sleep.  She will survive and I told her this is just a test for me and her for October and after.<br /><br />My sons has officially sold his house.  Will have to be out by 5/17.  They made the offer on the other one and will know something about it before 5/19.  So the waiting has begun.<br /><br />Well out to vacuum  the pool.<br /><br />Glad everyone had a great weekend.<br />
