A better than average Saturday...

Yesterday was the annual Rainbow event where the entire state of Maryland shows up to my lodge, there is coordination; drama; the first 90 plus degree day; usually this day is a nightmare wrapped in BS and I go home have a drink to wash it all away...

Yesterday was a bit different.  Things were coordinated, lunch was handled, clean up done, refreshments were handled, clean up was breezy, we were cleaned up before everyone was leaving!  It was a matter of "GO HOME!"  But it was more in the line of why are you still here?  But it wasn't in my usual angry get out - it was more surprise that people were still there!  We were cleaned up and out the door and it was a good day.  A young lady who, a handful of years ago, wouldn't memorize much, and stood in the back of the room stood before the group, and ran the meeting!  It was something to see.  

Both her parents to show up!  Of course they left as soon as they could but that is neither here nor there...

Extra bonus - no food left overs!

There was a moment, when during initiation speech that spoke of Immortally teaching girls, you so young so fair we should direct your thought to death - I remembered my friend a Girl's group Mom who I miss... I got a little emotional.  I know! me!   But we got through it...

I sat through my first State Board - I could frankly call that check marked on the bucket list and call it a day... but alas I fear that will not be so... what could have been accomplished in 30-44 minutes TOPS took 90 minutes and frankly I wanted to spout "just get on with this"  I refrained.

Now here is where my day and my brain took a twist.  It was announced that the leader of Maryland Girls' Group wants to retire.  She's looking for a replacement.. my idiot brain said to me "You can do this"   Apparently I had a stroke.  But I let things marinate - called Mom and Dad - they only encouraged this thinking.   Mom sent me the phone number of the lady who has the job in PA...

THEN! over dinner last night -- Bubba shocked the living the living heck out of me - his reaction wasn't what I expected.  He asked what this meant to him - and we agreed that I would have to give up my other positions - I agreed.  He wasn't totally opposed to the idea.. go figure.   So later today I will make a phone call - and maybe write a letter... heaven help me.

Sunday -- a day of rest sort of - after laundry and shopping and dinner and packing lunch ...
