When we met last week we realized that if we didn’t have lunch this week, we might not all be together for several weeks since Vickie leaves next week on vacation. So even though we just had dinner recently, none of us minded having lunch together today. After all, we can always find plenty of conversation topics. We did get off on some work and Rotary related topics that would bore the general public (or maybe not!) but here’s the rest of our chat:
- Vickie recommended the Corporette blog which recently featured an article on “Ten Uses for Office Supplies in a Pinch” – where was this kind of good info when I needed it?
- Vickie lost the diamond in her engagement ring a month ago and found it yesterday in the bottom of her purse. Chaz is off the hook for the replacement bling.
- Robin is the Queen of cute casual wear.
- Hannah is going on her first official date on Saturday night so Chaz created the “Rules for Dating My Daughter” – we all approved! Her date must pick her up (no meeting at another site), he has to come to the door, meet her parents, he has to pay for the date or else they stay at Chaz and Vickie’s house and watch TV and his parents have to bring them home since he doesn’t have his license yet. And – Chaz has to approve what she wears. I like this guy!
- When married people are friends with other married people of the opposite sex, why are their motives questioned?
- Robin dared Vickie to fake being sick and join us at my pool a couple of days ago – but Vickie is too honest and stayed at work instead.
- Our phone went out recently during a storm – it took us 3 days to realize we hadn’t had any calls. I was going to call the phone company and tell them to either fix it at no charge or disconnect it for good when it came back on.
- Robin did a shout-out to Jim – they had a problem with the hot water heater and he replaced the thermo coupler with an $8 part from Lowes. Go Jim!
- Vickie did a shout-out to Chaz for coming up with great dating rules for Hannah. When Hannah told her date about them, he had no problem with them. Good kids.
- I did a shout-out to Burl for building the awesome deck next to our pool.
- Vickie enlightened us that according to Robert’s Rules of Order, you don’t have to have a quorum in a meeting to vote unless someone brings it up. Who knew?
Vickie heads west next week for a long trip with the family so it may be a month or so before we all get together. I’m already having withdrawals from my buddies………
