Surprises are interesting things. My mom's birthday was Wednesday, and my brother and I tried to make it special, but we couldn't do anything about Dad being so far away. Mom understandably missed her husband, and was rather sad that not only were we still on opposite ends of the country, it was highly likely that they would be spending their anniversary apart. A first for them.
Anyway, I received a call from my mom that Dad wanted Drew and I home by ten that night so that he could give Mom her present. I did my best to get home by then, but I had to stop by Mijer to get her flowers, so we were a little late. That ended up being fine, because Dad wasn't actually available until 11:30. Around 11:30 Dad appeared on the web cam, and thus started what would end up being a very long night.
Dad kept talking about string and that he needed the string before he could tell us what Mom's gift was. Mom and I tried to guess, and we made Dad laugh a number of times. And so this continued for some time.
Around 2:30 in the morning (MI time), he finally started to tell us... he asked if it was possible for us to go to Detroit on the 27th (of June). We asked him why. Then he told us that we had airplane tickets to LA on the evening of the 27th.
So that was my Mom's present, the church vestry is flying us out to LA for about eight days. Which by the way, include my mom and dad's anniversary.
Surprises are always good.

Have you ever...
(been scared, real scared inside, shaking to your roots... sorry, couldn't help it. It's a song from a little kids play a few years back, and it likes to be remembered on occasion;)
Anyway, have you ever either heard someone say they want to be a superhero, or have you ever wanted to be a superhero?
Today I was at the NCCS Kindergarten graduation, and one of the little guys said that was what they wanted to be. Well, you might be wondering why I was at the K graduation. Last night I received a call from the teacher of the Ks, and she asked me if I could tell her how to set up the projector, with sound. To get straight to the point I ended up saying that I'd come in at 9:30 this morning and set it up/supervise the projection.
I don't know about you, but when I was little, and some times even now I wish I was a superhero well... Over the years that I have been the resident tech at NCCC/S, I have had more people tell me that I'm saving the day. "Here comes Elizabeth to save the day.", "You have just made my day, I owe you." So en-light of all the people at NCCC/S and even some of my family members I present the following:
I'm here to save the day!
