Lost time ...

WOW ...when you are young , an hour seems like a lifetime ... when you are older - you'd give anything for just another hour .  Time - just like pigs - really CAN fly .... Since my last post I have started a new job as a sales manager at the Courtyard by Marriott ... it's been fun getting to know new people , new methods, and have new motivations.  Thank you guys for a warm welcome .. I look forward to a long successful run with you all ...

 I have also been busy performing some of the most beautiful weddings and tomorrow I once again attempt a dual language English - German ceremony ! If nothing else my sweet tea southern accent coupled with years between me and a schnitzel should break any nervous factor for the couple ... again ... a time I'd love another hour to practice my gutteral deutsch sounds ... ha!  It will be beautiful and if the wind continues to power through like it did at the rehearsal today , people will likely just think I have something stuck in my throat .. Heather - if you stumble on this post I hope you are laughing and not crying .. I promise I'll do my best... I love you guys ...

Speaking of nuptials , aren't Kate and William are all the buzz  with their big to do ... and to do .. and to do ... I mean isn't it about time for the TA DA !!??  and do they really have to do it at 4 AM ..??? Come on guys - get with the networks like any other sporting event and plan it around the media .. I mean are we going to be watching them set up the palace and polish the pews at the cathedral ??  All joking aside, thank you to kate  for providing our next wedding trends ...

Well other than the work and the weddings , and looking for more hours in the day ,  we've just been collecting eggs, enjoying endless enjoyment with the feathered ones - a topic worthy of it's own post very soon I promise...

I hope those of you who may find this blog are having great days and finding something in every day that makes you smile !

Until later...

Change

Change - by definition is to make different... I haven't written for a few weeks because of just that very thing ... I've been really busy with change ... lots of change ...change in my house in town, change in jobs for both Randolph and myself which leads to more change - ie the house may just have to have some judge hair on the floor.... I'm so happy for Randolph who is working hard in Jim - N - Nicks BBQ  management ... they are lucky to have him - and he seems to have found his niche and even despite some VERY early mornings ( we can now attest to the fact that 5 o'clock actually DOES come twice in one day - more change  ) he is really embracing his new digs ... I have one more week with Planters Inn & Peninsula Grill before going to Marriott - i'll only be a few blocks away- I always have a hard time with goodbyes and since I'll be back to officiate weddings it'll only be " see you later "   - I thank you guys for a great 2 years ..
I look forward to new chapters with Marriott and will write more about that later....
 Thank goodness for the  change in the garden - oh  how it is  growing... lettuce and radishes and onions, oh my! It makes for happy deer, happy rabbbits and a happy girl here ... Thank you to Rand and G for planting enough for us all ... Getting your hands ( and knees ) in the dirt is therapeutic.  I appreciate that the guys have done the hard work and let me come "play" when I need to get my "grounding" on...
So like Jimmy Buffet says, changes in attitudes can make all difference with  the changes in life ... and why not ... after all , life would be pretty boring without change!
