So this Chancellor gig isn't all bad. ;) University this weekend was lots of fun. Though the session was small, we happy few had a good time. Muchos Gracias for my many wonderful instructors, and eager students.

Of course making the trip ten times more enjoyable was Jimmy and Kit's fine company. Whether it was our driver keeping us laughing and entertained during the road time, helping me with the load of stuff, my faithful registrar keeping everything on an even keel such that I could kick her away from the table to take some of the rapier classes, and making sure I was up and on site in time. Early risers that they are, they even let me sleep in this morning a bit. Big thanks go to the Cunnings for the fine dinner choice and amazing company for Saturday evenings activities. I even got to meet the cute and energetic Yap Yap.

Good weekend. Perhaps I'll read a bit in bed before crashing out. Although it almost seems a shame to disturb the snoozing pup and snoring husband just to drag them upstairs. :)

Are you planning to attend Fall University?

If coming, are you planning to teach or learn?

If you wanted to teach but thought you were too late, would extending the deadline until Friday (9/11) help?

If coming as a student, what class do you hope to be able to take?

Can I make it easier for you to submit your class proposal?

Class Title?

Length?

Class Description?

Class size limit?

Fees?

Is this?

I have a cute husband snoring on the couch, and a tired pup crashed out on her bed while I watch more of the Dirty Jobs marathon.

We've had a fun full weekend. Spent Friday night at home out on the patio enjoying grilled streaks with mashed taters and a crisp salad. Good food, lovely weather and the best company of my sweetie and our pup.

Saturday I slept in nice and late, made a yummy brunch of the leftover steak and some eggs, and we got on the road to Arvonia. I got to embroider while Alan drove to the farm, where we got to see the progress made and spend some time with friends. Saw Cyndi's progress on her embroidered sleeves, plans for Tom and Heather's new country home and plot, and awww over the poor gimpy feet. After dessert we said our goodbyes and made our way to M&M's place for more pup play and good conversation with Mike and Kirsten before crashing.

Sunday dawned with the sound of the pond waterfall, the occassional frog chirp, and eventually fresh scones for breakfast. While we had fun company, we got back on the road home before noon. The pup spent most of the time crashed out in the back of the truck, but I did try to keep a bit of vigilance for the cool truck I spotted on the way down. In Warrenton I saw the truck again so we pulled a u-turn to go inspect it. A pretty silver 65 Chevy truck with a 350 engine and locking hubs for 4x4. Nice old truck.

Once home Alan was useful and the pup and I napped solidly. But we had more plans for that evening. Around 5 we headed up North to the Toscano's to help celebrate Carla's birthday, which also gave the Bug time to run around with the beagles. The food was as good as anticipated, the company was charming, and the conversation never ceased to entertain.

Today we did some shopping at IKEA (alas a bust), Lowe's which was mostly window shopping, Behnke's for crape myrtles, and Home Depot. I sandwiched the shopping with the Dirty Jobs marathon on the Discovery Channel and some work organizing UofA class proposals. Not a bad weekend at all, but I could use another one.
