I went into to work late this morning because I have to stay late enough to go pick Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah up at the airport at 7:00 PM. Dad (Grandpa Milo) just lost his business partner of over thirty years, Dave Christie. They met every day for a meal and went on several business trips together for trade shows and that sort of thing. Even after they sold their business, they met frequently for a meal to just talk. He was a good friend to our whole family so it was hard to see him go. I am sure that will be the subject of some interesting talks when they arrive.
We have some fun things planned for the visit. We hope to have some folks over on Friday night for dinner and we have two museum trips planned. The kids have to go to one of the local art museums for their Art Appreciation class. I hope to avoid that one, but will probably fail. The other one is the Airborne and Special Operations Museum down by Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville. I have been wanting to go see that one for a long time.
On a final note, Christian just finished up two hard and painful weeks of non-stop exams, speeches, and reports. He has nothing to do until after spring break but play his guitar and work on his the projects he likes. Kelly had a pretty heavy load, too (she DID ace her last statistics quiz), but was not hammered with one thing after another at the same level. All she has today is her volleyball PE class, then she is off for spring break, too.
