Not the best blogger...

Ok, so I'm not quite the best at blogging. I don't want to think that we were blown away by the hurricane over Labor Day weekend, so I'm finally back on the blogging scene...

Anyway, since our indestructible iMac's hard drive crashed a few weeks ago, I don't have any new pictures to post yet (well I did, but they are gone now), but I promise I will soon. I do love the mac, but was very disappointed that it crashed. No information has been able to be recovered, so let's just say, Andy and I learned a very important lesson about backing up you files on an external hard drive... Oh well, you live and you learn!

We just had a great visit in KC last weekend and drove home the 14 hours yesterday, so needless to say, I'm a bit sleepy and not quite sure what day it is. I actually sent an email to Sara and told her to have a "Happy Monday"...I guess it is my Monday, but felt a little silly after the fact. It was great to get back to KC. It was a busy weekend though. Andy conducted his "farewell" concert with KC Civic Orchestra and it was great with the violinist Mark O'Connor. It was definitely a great send-off. We also put on our Puccini Festival appetizer party and then went to O'Dowds to see Eddie Delahunt and the boys. It was great to be there and to have an O'Dowds pint of Guinness.

Monday night was Opera Supper at Californos. It was fun to be back there and to see some of our opera friends. Also on Monday, I was able to have lunch with my KCAA girls, Kate and Andrea, at Cactus Grill. I really miss good Mexican food. You would think that there would be good Mexican food here in Alabama because it is closer to Mexico than KC, but alas, it is not the same. Andy and I are still in search of good Mexican food in Mobile.

Anyway, I promise to be a better blogger and also to put some new pictures up of the house now that our computer is fixed. Maybe this weekend I will get to that... Well, have a Happy Wednesday as I am now having a great Monday of my 3-day week!
