...and back to the daily grind. Well vacation was wonderful but there is always a lot to do when you get back. Laundry and housecleaning are waiting for me at home, and at work I had catch up on a lot of things but the staff did do a great job of keeping it to a minimum. It was wonderful visiting with Darren and Hazel in Indiana. We had a great time catching up and wandering down memory lane. Weather was even good except for the thundersorms and tornado warnings that seemed to pop up every night.
The time spent in TN with Greg and Jeanette was also fun but Lauryn and Liyah kept us busy. It was great to see how much they have changed. I managed to do alot of shopping while I was gone and even got some new clothes although it was easier to find tops than bottems. If anyone ever gets down to Murfeesboro check out the store, Old Time Pottery. It was fun to browse and look at all the home and garden decor stuff they had.
I did get a lot of reading done on vacation and have some to recommend. Don't Look Down, by Jennifer Cruise was really good but not like her previous ones. She has coauthored it with Bob Mayer and it doesn't have the fast comedic style that her other books have but it is still worth reading. Full Scoop, by Janet Evanovich is her newest installment in her FULL series and was enjoyable. I also enjoyed a quick romantic trilogy by Julie Orloton including, Almost Perfect, Just Perfect, and Too Perfect. If you are interested in a tense suspense trilogy I have just started on by Allison Brennan with The Prey to be followed by The Hunt and The Kill.

And you thought...
...libraries were boring? How wrong you are! If you could have been here yesterday you would have had enough excitement for the month!
It all began when I parked in the employee parking lot and noticed the back doorframe had been ripped off. I then had to find an employee who had their key to the front door and then come in and call the police. The local police chief came and took pictures. At that time we thought there was only change collected for the new library missing but after he left we realized that they also hit our petty cash, postage, booksale, and Community Center money getting close to $300 worth.
After I moved my car to the back lot again I noticed the big hole in our bick wall that had been torn out to make a tunnel through the wall. (I can only assume that they thought that wall entered a different building because they had already broken through the library door.) Later that day I realized that they had also broken into someones storage barn behind the library and had to talk to the police for a 3rd time.
With all the excitement and stress it was good to get the call last night hearing the the suspects had been caught. I haven't heard anything yet today but our boss who is off enjoying a relaxing vacation did send us flowers to lift our spirits after the mess of yesterday.
Life is back to normal or as close to it as it gets!
