This Week at The Remmers

Ok, I think I have this working now...

Yes, it's Mother's Day, and Daddy has to do EVERYTHING while Margie gets to sit still and bark orders. (Oops, I guess she'll read this, so I better be on my best behavior.)

The week started normal: One-acts rehearsal on Monday, Lyn's piano lesson on Tuesday.

Wednesday, after Lyn's ballet class, we went to a new Indian Restaurant in Old Town called Raw Silk. Margie met the owners because they live in the neighborhood. Margie will post a review on dcfud.com. We will let you know when it has been posted. It was the best Indian food that Dan has ever had (but it's not like I've been to lots of them anyway).

On Thursday, Margie had a church meeting while Dan, Lyn, and John went to see a musical. Margie's co-worker from her SoftMed days, Amy, has a daughter, Hanna, who is in middle school. She played Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof, Jr. Hanna did an excellent job, and has a beautiful singing voice.

On Friday, Margie fulfilled a promise from last year and helped John's teacher, Mrs. Miller, with the science lesson on worms. To return to more pleasant things, Margie had a 'girls night out' that night. They went to see The Soloist. Margie says it was very good.

On Saturday, Margie went out biking in the morning. It was the first time in about a week, because it's been raining for a while. Dan spent most of the day putting front rotors and pads on the Scion. For dinner, there was a pot luck at church. The theme was "a taste of home", so we brought perogies with fried onions. Those were so popular that we had none to bring home afterwards.

While Margie went to church and relaxed the rest of the day, Dan was run ragged with all the work he did on Sunday:
1) made bread
2) cleaned up the kitchen
3) picked roses for Margie
4) made sandwiches for the kids
5) went to LTA to help with strike for Gross Indecency
6) relaxed briefly by watching the Spanish Grand Prix (Go Jensen!)
7) mowed the lawn
8) changed oil in the Scion
9) put new rear brake shoes on the Scion
10) helped Lyn make dinner
11) wrote this long-winded blog

Whew!
