What a whirlwind of a week - completed 2 new requests for proposals that will happen in September when we return. I finished up the curriculum for this falls programs, built from scratch an outdoor cabinet (that is tiled - see pictures), finished installing the sprinkler system for the garden, and oh yes, prepared for the trip.Building the cabinet was in some ways a great diversion and a great outlet for stress. The project turned out well and now we have a beautiful tiled outdoor bar on our patio that is wired (awaiting a blender). I think Darlene should do the honours of making the first tonic when we return.
Yesterday was a scramble to say the least. Last minute things to pick up and a panic of my new shoes for traveling being lost at the cobbler and staff not being able to find them for an hour. Then the challenge of buying last minute currency to take with us (euros and czech korunas). It always pays off when you are buying 
large amounts of currencies to call around to all the currency exchange shops and find out who has the best rates. I managed to get over 85 euros extra because I shopped around.The last of the packing is now to be completed and one last smile at the garden and the beautiful mosaic tiling on the cabinet. Too bad we don't have time for a quick margaritta.
................... Off to the airport. i am leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again (Sept 8)
