Greetings from Niagara!

Hi wonderful cousins.

I was off yesterday and didn't blog. I spent hours finalizing the wedding photos for our album. I had to chhose around 120 photos from over 800, so it took me hours. We had the Oil company at our house almost all day putting in a furnace so we can heat the upstairs so I was homebound until about 4:15 at which point I ran (almost literally) out to my car to go to the store, I was so happy to leave! Anyway, I have a lot of vaca time to use so I took a half day thursday and all day friday and next monday so it will be a long weekend for me which i am excited for. Bob and I plan to go to Wellsville so he can hunt this weekend, depending on the weather, and then we have Annaleha's third birthday party which should be fun. I also recently began my second editing project and am waiting for feedback from my boss before I can proceed. The dissertation is 249 pages long but luckily I only have to edit 102 pages or so since about half of it are appendices and we don't edit those, thankfully. The author's first language is most likely not english so there were so many mistakes I felt like I was practically rewriting his dissertation so I am waiting to see how my boss tells me to proceed. It is due on saturday so depending on how fast I work once I get it back dictates if I go with Bob or not this weekend. I hope so since I won't see him Memorial day week because i will be in the outer banks.

Anyway, speaking of editing, that was a very long paragraph!

Susan- since I was homebound for most of the day I did not get the chance to go to the SPCA. I noticed a sign on someone's front lawn that says "Pet Stop." Do you know what that means? I am going to lunch with a work friend tomorrow and her mom knows a foster person for retrievers in Lockport so I will ask her for her contact information so I can check those out soon.

Today is a university wide employee party with good food and booze. It should be fun and also means I can leave a little early since it begins at 3 and I don't plan to stay until 5, but you never know. They do this every semester and last semester I left around 4:30. The food is usually really good.

To my wine drinking cousins- I ordered a glass of Lake Niagara when Bob and i were out to dinner last week at a restaurant in Lockport and thought of a bunch of us drinking it out of a box :)

Well, I should get some work done before my lunch break.

Oh, Kristy and Amber. I emailed you southwest ticket prices that I found this morning. Not great but not terrible either. Hopefully they go down some before you decide to buy them. I'll keep looking.

Love,
Bernadette
