We had a very good weekend with some old friends and some new ones at one of our church conventions in Shelby, NC this weekend.  We left right after work on Friday, then got back late in the afternoon on Sunday.  Lorena has her work cut out for her getting reorganized after the weekend and I will have a very busy week at work.  While we were there we found that there will be a big get-together in the Charlotte area early in October for Kelly and Christian.  With Christian’s (late) birthday party at the end of the month, Kelly’s PSAT, and our trip to Mexico coming fast, we STILL have a very busy calendar right when we thought we might be slowing down a little.
