I found some round pavers that I dug the ground out for and then set them in place so that they would be somewhat level with the ground around them. After I finished doing that I realized that while they are level with the ground around them there is quite a drop from one end to the other so I will have to raise some of them up so that they are a little more even in relationship to each other.
Then I went inside, cleaned up and sat in my chair for a while. While I was resting one of my old employees called me and wanted to get together for lunch. He was out visiting his parents and is now living and working in from North Carolina.
So he, and two other friends got together and Kathleen and I had lunch with them. It was good seeing them all and going over good old Boeing times. I helped get them better jobs because they had done such a good job for me when they worked for me in an entry level position.
As it turned out they all wound up working for me again as I asked for them as I needed someone that would really work hard and get the job done without me having to keep an eye on them all the time.
Anyway lunch lasted about an hour and we talked for at least another hour before we decided that we needed to get going. We all ate family style where we just ordered food for the five of use and then we all ate some of everything. When they worked for me we use to have pot lucks just about every Friday and that is pretty much how things worked back then as well.

After Kathleen and I left the restaurant we stopped and looked at faucets and then looked at tops for the bathroom vanity. At first we looked at a granite one and then we went to a place that specializes in marble tops and brought home a couple samples. The marble is rather expensive but it sure is nice.
There was so much food left over from lunch that we took three take home containers home and had it for lunch. We still have about a container left if we combined them which would be enough for me for lunch someday or part of a dinner for the both of us some day.
Well, it has been a long day for me and I am starting to get rather weary.

Looks like you had a great time. How nice that they called you!
By the way, have you looked at Swanstone for the vanity top? We have it for out shower and vanity both. It is easy to keep clean, and nice looking, too. You can check it out at: http://swanstone.com/
It was a good time, if I had a few more workers like them I would have been under a lot less stress and probably could have worked there longer. So I am not sure if that was a good thing or not.
