My Week

Tuesday evening we held a mock rally practice at the club.  Amber didn't do too well in the first exercise (Beginner Novice A) but did pretty well in rally.  I was the one who made a mistake on that rally by moving my foot back out of habit.

After the practice, I quickly dropped Amber off at the house and met friends for karaoke at the Burger Bar.  It was sort of a mini after funeral for Maria (far right) who lost her fiance and the funeral was last Saturday.

Wednesday morning I got ready for my re-modelers to come. At 11AM I got the following text:
"Mrs. Connolly: the Memphis installer was in the hospital with chest pains last night. It ended up not being a huge deal, but he will not get to St. Louis til around 3 this afternoon. We will load him up and send him your way. "-Darren
That evening I got a call from Chris Thompson, the worker who had chest pains, from a nearby hotel. 
Friday I went from this:

To this:

Next will come the sink, counter top and backsplash.

While they were busy, I turned on the A/C for the first time.  I got a few tasks of my own done.
I have been wanting to replace the legs on this table that was being tossed out.  The legs were like weak puzzle pieces (not whole legs).  Eventually I found scrap wood and cut and screwed in some new legs all for nothing -less a little procrastination.

One of the replacement legs was obviously well used but at least it had the right length and was in one piece.

Saturday I went to the Lincoln Days Civil War Reenactment in Pittsfield.  I was concerned about the flooding affecting the event since Pittsfield is about 40 miles from the flooded Mississippi River.  Water was high but the grounds were dry.  There were more people than the past few years.  Knats were bad but last year was worse.  The fashion show merged into my dress and then merged into my presentation on the Soldiers Aid Society.

This year the feature was a replica hot air balloon.   The 18th annual event sponsored by the Abe Lincoln Project/Looking for Lincoln in Pike,Co and the City of Pittsfield, IL was held on June 1 and 2, 2019. An Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area Signature Event held at the 480 acre recreational park. This years reenactment features Thaddeus Lowe and the Civil War Balloon Corps. Lincoln Days Civil War Reenactment also features Union and Confederate encampments with artillery,cavalry,infantry,naval and civilian units; full battle reenactments;craft demonstrations; period and non- period vendors, food, music and period baseball games. The event is free.

Sunday morning I went to our Memorial Mass with the Catholic War Veterans at St Agnes Church.

In the evening I went to Peoria to dance to the Municipal Band with our Metamora Dancers.  We only did three dances and this is a video I took of the one that I sat out.

I've joined AMAC.
