Up in Hornell - Uneventful drive up - that's always good.



Within the first hour of being here - closed Helen's checking account since she never uses it anymore - a whopping $40 in it with the bank taking $6.50 out for services each month - they have been making money on her for a while - she hasn't used it since I don't know when.



Then - I stopped at the gas station to pick up and ran into a guy that I used to hang out with in high school - I haven't seen him since I graduated - and he recognized me before I recognized him. He was a couple of years behind me, but still remembered. He's a deputy with Steuben County Sheriff's department.



Going to go see family and the Johnson's tonight. Might be just Ginny as Ted had surgery this week. As for the family - Mae has a dance, so might see her, might not.

Wow - almost a week has gone by - it's been busy at work and I've been doing things in the evening.



The week in review -



Saturday - got groceries and went to see Evick at Bunglow's (http://pages.loudouncounty.com/dining/bungalow.htm). We stayed for one set and headed home.



Sunday, Dan and I went and saw "Inside Man" - pretty good movie! Then we watched Harry Potter at home. We bought the video on Saturday.



Monday - work and then home.



Tuesday - work and then I went to a Creative Memories class - it ended up being just me! But, Karen (the consultant) and I had fun.



Wednesday - Almost met a famous Japanese person - The PR department of the Airports Authority called and asked about taping a Japanese celebrity in a newsstand. The newsstand was all ready and then found out that the guy cancelled. Bummer. After work - shelter - had fun with the kitties - there is a big ass cat up there - probably like 20 lbs if not more! I picked him up and I felt like I was holding a toddler! Great cat though - he was purring the whole time.



Today - just work and packing. Dan's home - he didn't feel good - more than likely - allergies - it's that time again.



Tomorrow - driving to NY.

Lunch at Picante's with the co-workers was fun yesterday.



Chris had called the restaurant to tell them that we were coming. After we ordered, the owners came by and told us the history of the restaurant and about expansion plans. After we ate, they showed us the kitchen, the catering kitchen and the future catering kitchen and takeout window. Within a month or so, they will be taking over the bar area of Sully's and Sully's will be shrinking. The owner of Picante's said that Sully's were going to get rid of the bands. I've checked with Evick and they said no, Sully's is still having bands.



Today, I received a call from my cousin, John, that lives in Florida. His wife is the daughter of my grand uncle, on my grandmother's side (Clark, maiden name Crandall). Anyway, Dan and I met John and Nancy on our honeymoon. To tell you the truth, I can't remember exactly how they got a hold of me. I must have sent a letter to Nancy's dad and I think they were going through his things and found it. Anyway - Dan and I had a blast with them and their sons when we visited. Since then, we've chatted every once in a while. Nancy passed away a couple of years ago from cancer, but I still send John a christmas letter. John didn't sound too good on the phone - I can tell that he's lonely - he even said that and that he hates his apartment. He did say that he goes to church almost every day and volunteers there. The reason why he called is that he has a bible that he believes is from the Clark side of the family and that he's going to send it to me. Cool! He said that it's missing the cover, but we could always have it rebound. I think I'm going to send him a replacement bible - I could tell that he was kind of having a hard time sending it off.
