The Schedule and, Therefore, The Plan

Granpa's work schedule will be a bit different this go-round here in Danville.  There are only two echo techs, so they will have to be on call every other weekend.  They've decided, though, that they will work Sunday through Thursday when they are on call, so that they can have a three-day weekend when they're not on call.  That'll work!

We knew he would have to be on call the first weekend, because the other guy has been on call 24/7 waiting for Granpa to transition from Kaua'i.  Poor feller needs a break!  But Granpa is already cookin' up plans for the next weekend which will be three days:  we're goin' to Washington, D.C. to see the cherry blossoms!!  They should either be right at peak or just past.  If we miss them, there's lots more to see and do there.  On the way up there, Granpa is thinkin' we'll swing by the Antietam (Civil War) battlefield.

For my two cents, I'd like to make a grand tour of George Washington's home, Mount Vernon.  I was there once before when I was in my teens, but that was a lo-o-o-ng time ago.  We've also received an invitation to attend the first anniversary of the opening of the MOC (Museum of the Confederacy) annex in Appomattox, Virginia, Saturday night.

In the meantime, Granpa enjoys snapping photos of pretty stuff right here on the farm:
