Extended Time Off without Pay

Day 16 (July 16) - Last day of pet sitting for a friend. I enjoyed my time at St. Mary's and will miss Gabby & Mogley.

Helped move a Seminary family in to a too small housefor their family of 7. It took many of us 3 hours to empty the moving truck. Okay, so in the middle of this move-in it began to downpour. I realized tht I left the windows open in my car at home... you know the one that I left the sunroof open on. Yes, I am still trying to dry it out. I had to ride my bike home as fast as I could to get home to close the windows. I would have been dryer if I swam home across the lake between our houses. After closing the window & changing into dry clothes, I went back to finish the move-in.

Cook out was great! I made a salad (with sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing) and chicken tenders on a stick ('cause everything tastes better on a stick). I atemptd to grill corn on the cob in it's husks... success! (Note to self... must do that again next week). Great conversation with new seminarians. I love this community! Didn't get any watermelon. I think it was gone by the time I got there. I was a bit late because Oliver had a birthday party between the move in and the cook out.

I am contemplating a new name for this blog.... Gina's Extended Time Off without Pay. Oliver thinks this is too long, but I think it is more accurate. Any suggestions?
