Droppin' In Before the Night is over...

Well, just thought I'd drop in again for a quick note.

The memorial service that we attended this evening went very well. Jonathan, the man that Lee works with(it was his fil) was "in charge" so to speak of the service. He read some wonderful remarks, and his feeling on Darrell..his fil, and there were remarks made by others in his honor. It was a beautiful little service. It surprised me alot, but Rob informed everyone that the store would be closing at 6 tonight, for anyone who wanted to attend the service. I am proud to say, that "all" the employees showed up, even one that had worked there previously. You could tell that it meant alot to Jonathan that we had all showed up.

On a cheerier note...I think I accomplished quite a bit on my music pages in the past couple of days. A quick update for those who didn't have a chance to catch my previous email. Last night, I finished pages on Gladys Knight and the Pips. This morning, I finished up on my pages for Willie Nelson. You can tell by the amount of pages that he is one of my FAVORITES! I also got James Taylor added. He is right up there at the very top when it comes to some of my favorite singers. He is such a talented man, and his songs tell stories, in a way like no other. lee and i were able to see him in concert several years back....4th row...center stage! It was a fabulous concert. I only hope one day I'm able to go see him again....as well as Willie. Even though Christmas is over, I went ahead and added a new Christmas song and made a few changes to my original "Mary Did You Know?" page..in the Christmas section. I'm sure in the next several days, I will also think of other Christmas songs that I'll want to add...even though the day has passed. But, it will be there for your enjoyment, and hopefully, still there next Christmas, with others added. The song I added is "Gabriel's Message", by Sting. If you've never heard it, you're in for a real treat!

I got my house picked up like I was wanting, even got as far as changing the sheets...washing bedspreads, mattress covers, etc. So, I always know how good it's going to feel when you're able to crawl into bed on clean sheets. It's a feeling like noooooo other! The rest of the day I spent mostly on my music.

Well, I was suppose to have tomorrow off. We don't have really big plans for New Year's Eve...Sat. night, so I wasn't too bent outta shape about having to work Sat. But, today, mary called me, and as I figured, Jacob was wanting tomorrow off, and said he'd work Sat. for me, if I'd take tomorrow. I really didn't have anything planned for tomorrow, other than probably more music pages..hehehe, and since it was mary that called me, and not Jacob, I told her I'd go ahead and work tomorrow. So...it will be Sat. off instead...as well as monday...so I'm gonna get a 3 day weekend after all! Since I'm working tomorrow, I guess we'll have to plug our little TV in at work, so we can watch the Tiger's play the Independence bowl tomorrow afternoon! And...maybe it will make the afternoon go by faster. If we're lucky...maybe all the MU fans...which is 1/2 of Columbia..hehehehe decided to go to Shrievport to see the game first hand....then we shouldn't be too busy. (well, it was wishful thinking, at least...lol) Who knows. The cleaning business has been very strange lately....swamped one day, and dead to the world the next, so you never know what to expect.

We've already made plans with landon and Amanda and the boys for New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day, as well. So, I doubt that we make any plans with them for tomorrow night...since Lee and I are both working. The will be getting together at Amanda's mom and dad's house on noon New Year's Eve, for a Christmas/New Year's get-to-gether, with Amanda's family. They are suppose to be done by late afternoon, and then Tom, Amanda's dad, will just drop them off at our house. That's closer for him anyway, rather than having to take them all the way back to Ashland...and then of course, I'd have to go pick them up. They're coming over New Year's Day as well...I'm not really sure what time, but I'll pick them up then. I'm sure we'll watch parades, and football games...or maybe movies...but, we'll enjoy our first day of 2006, together with family.

Well, guess I take off. It's getting late, and I think I might go hit the tub before heading to bed. I'll be back tomorrow morning before work, with coffee in hand, I'm sure, catching up on all that has been happening, since I was here last. Hope you had a great day, and a wonderful evening. Catch ya' tomorrow!

Much love,
Lev
