<p>Been very busy and actually couldn&#8217;t blog about what was going on for fear of someone seeing it.</p>
<p>Yesterday was the Hubby&#8217;s birthday and this past weekend I had a Surprise party for him. Needless to say since he reads my blog on occasion, I couldn&#8217;t very well talk about it on here. Everyone had a great time and the party was a Success!</p>
<p>Next up on the agenda is the last Marching Rehearsal for the Drum Corps prior to our big Memorial Day parades this coming weekend. We have 1 parade on Sunday night and then 2 on Monday. The first one on Monday is in my home town and my first Memorial Day as the Drum Major. I am very much looking forward to it.</p>
<p>After the parades will be our newest annual tradition &#8220;Smoked Meat Fest 2010&#8221;<br />The hubby purchased a smoker and let me tell you he has the best smoked meat I have ever tasted. I can already taste the Ribs, Pork Butt, Chicken and Salmon(our first time smoking salmon).</p>
<p>Then the parades kick into High Gear starting in June with a Convention parade, then the small local ones start.</p>
<p>I will do my best to keep you abreast of the parade situations(and any hot firemen I may see)</p>
<p>Oh and work is keeping me on my toes too. I found out yesterday that they are moving my seat(again). Funny thing is they are moving me back to the seat I occupied when we moved into this building 2 years ago. SIGH!</p>
