Let's go away for a while

Our network has been up and down at work today and has been wonky for the past 3 weeks. I'm using it as a grand excuse to play on the Internet and get the stuff done that I need to before heading to Madison.

Appleton was on the receiving end of 5 to 7 inches of rain in a 2 hour period last night, causing me to take three detours to get home. I love the rain, but at a more bearable pace. Terry and Danielle came over last night with pictures from our times at the cottage three weeks ago as well as their wedding album. Their photographer did an outstanding job and put in our order for 6 or 8 pictures. We had a nice visit and they brought over homemade chocolate cheesecake for us to share. I hope these next two years go by swiftly and that they relocate back near here when her schooling is done. But, I'm excited for our road trip to visit them in the future.

An employee who has been more than a handful had her last day today. I felt like putting on the Pointer Sisters and dancing around as she walked out the door, but kept my professional sense about me. It already feels better here with her gone.
