We were at the awards banquet for the Parade of Homes. Everyone forgot we were going. I got three calls on my cell while we were there that I had to return afterward. Hubby won 4 awards. They aren't here at the house, so I'll try to remember...... He won "Best Architectural Design", "Best Workmanship", "Best Furnishings", and I think, "Best Interior Design". We thought he might win best of show, but he was first runner up. He missed the top award by 5 points out of 700 possible, so it was really close. This morning at 10 a.m. the homes are open to the public. He left a few minutes ago. Today, I'm staying home. Melissa who is getting married in June is here today and needs a little TLC. We bought some fabric, and I think she's going to work on a dress she wants to make for the honeymoon. I'm going to clean and spend try to spend some quality time with her, and take a little break from wedding stuff for both of us. Our other daughter, Karen and her roommate, Maryland, are going to help with the parade today, and a few other people have volunteered to help also. I'll help some tomorrow afternoon and all of next weekend.
