Trying to have a fairly quiet weekend.  Spent today taking lots of photographs, tomorrow will probably do some washing and urgh ironing (if I can't get out of it!).  Then I must start trying to sort things out for packing.  (How I hate the thought of that - it is about the 17 or 18 times we have moved - and I've had it up to here  - (fingers across throat, lol))

I still have some stuff I need to get done, but I'm off work tomorrow for Labor Day.  Yay!  Back to the stone on Tuesday.  I actually had a jury summons for Tuesday, but I called the juror phone number and I don't have to report, thank God.  I always seem to get picked - I've already been on 4 juries.

I dread what my desk looks like at work, since my last day before vacation was a week ago Wednesday.  Although I did slog thru my work emails day before yesterday.

I spent most of yesterday sorting pix from my trip and loading them on to Photobucket (that's photo-boo-kay).  Here are POSF if you're interested.

Now, James.

My hubby doesn't need a week in Alcatraz because he has me, the old ball and chain.  lol

Yes, Alcatraz is a very weird place - they housed the worst of the worst.  SF is a very chilly city, and there's no heat in the building, but the inmates got a bed, medical care and 3 squares a day.  They ended up closing it due to the astronomical costs associated with O & M.  The tour was really interesting, but a bit unsettling at the same time.

Any tips, Ruth?
