Nice Weekend

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Friday Night: Went to Patti’s for Groupies. We were all there, which I liked, because frequently one of us has other commitments. We have decided to read Scott Hahn’s THE LAMB’S SUPPER which is about the Mass and the Book of Revelation. Patti had a chicken cacciatore sort of dish over pasta, salad, bread, […]

Forging Liberty

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

I got to Mombo’s after a week’s worth of work, and she fixed us a meal of green rice casserole, oven baked fish and sliced tomatoes. We decided to watch the first episodes of the the HBO mini-series that Deb had taped for me–JOHN ADAMS. It stars Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney, David Morse, and Tom […]

Spring Break Day Seven

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Busy day full of errands. We headed to town at about 11 and made the trip to the tax man (I didn’t have to pay—YAY!), got the oil changed, went to dinner with Deb at Red Lobster (Cajun grouper—yum!), talked to the bank and the finance man about IRA’s, stopped at the library and the […]

Spring Break Day Four

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Left Champaign after breakfast with Nancy. Highwayed to Louisville with KK listening to a Katherine Valentine book about a haunted rectory–we were expecting a light-hearted yarn about a rug-hooking group of Catholic women and got a scary devil story that neither of us would have picked. Linked up with Brendan and Maria at Lynn’s Paradise […]

E-Bay

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Okay, now my son has already warned me about becoming addicted. But there is no chance of that now that I have been burned. I have ordered 7 items so far. I have received 6 in a wonderfully timely fashion. I have paid for everything through Pay-pal. But there is one $10.99 item that I […]

3 Birthdays

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Today I had a colonoscopy. When I told people that I was to have this done, they asked, “Is something wrong?” Now, if there was something wrong, do you think they would want to hear details such as these? Of course, perhaps they didn’t want to hear that I was having one done in the […]

Summer School

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

It started out that I was going to teach half the group in the morning and the other half of the group in the afternoon.  The main teacher would be the reading remediation teacher because this was a reading remediation program (now called literacy). We would have 12-15 kindergarten and first graders the first week, […]

Weekend

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

After our big day on Friday, I headed to Danville to stop by the art center and see John’s original watercolor for the Brass Band Festival poster. I had to purchase a poster for myself and have it signed. It is magnificent (portraits of various hornblowers)–reminded me of when Wayne and I first came to […]
