May 19 Week Ahead, Kinda

I spent too much time this weekend fixing my yard, and so I don't have so many things done. Including this post being a little lame. So, before you can see the week ahead, you'll have to see what I did this weekend.

Some of you will remember that they did a little construction last year, and left my front terrace a mess, without even dirt! We waited until after the house move and things were settled down (hopefully they are done digging on my street!) and then this weekend we turned this

But clearly, I am not done.


And I'm not going to rest until all the Snow on the Mountain is gone! And thanks to Rob for all his help.

Ok - so here's what I think is interesting in the week ahead! Links and why these meetings are important are work in progress and should be in by noon today.

• This agenda isn't available on line due to technical difficulties - or more likely, human error blamed on technical difficulties. I'm still trying to figure out how the downtown library is "surplus property" - what, we don't need it any more?

There will be another IZ meeting, same time, same place. But no Hickory. And no agenda yet.

And, as usual, you need to look at the changes to the schedule during the week as many meetings pop up that are not on the weekly schedule on Monday morning.
