It was pouring and Ian was snoring when I left the HALL this morning at 6. It has continued to rain, off and on, all day. I hope it gets this out of its system before we start driving to Chi-town tomorrow night. I hate to drive at night in the rain. We got Ian’s […]

I came to the Valley on Friday night, and Mombo and I watched WE ARE MARSHALL together. Then on Saturday we went on a Lexington excursion. We made a stop at Kohl’s for a bathmat, but Mom found three nice tops on clearance, so now she has some new things to wear to church. Next […]

I love weekends. I actually slept in late (for me)—8 a.m.!! I headed off to Richmond to my favorite mechanics (Jay Edward excepted, of course)for an oil change on the Camry. They were able to replace my rear wipers (windshield, that is), but when they replaced my rear left turn signal bulb, lots of corroded […]

Well, there was the wonderful trip to Hawaii. Then the summer turned into “moving the kids.” We came back, had a wonderful wedding celebration with Michelle and Nic, and then went through things in the basement so that Ian could gather his stuff into one room before returning to Hawaii for the last time. We […]

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 […]

Oh, the woes of taxes! I worked all day. At first I almost had a heart attack when I couldn’t find my W-2 or the interest statement on the 4th Street mortgage. In a last ditch effort, I checked my Clan meeting bag, even though I knew that nothing would be in there. Turns out […]

I had dinner with my groupies at Elvira’s on Friday night. I was late so Deb ordered my house red and a plate of ravioli for me. Yum! On Saturday I was up early enough to get some laundry done before Brendan arrived. Time to change to the flannel sheets. Jim Brown helped us work […]

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, […]

Not too much to say here. Charles and Judy took us to the Gatwick where we were met by Brendan. Caitlan left with him to spend Easter together. A bit of a tearful good-by. We had extra time after we got through security to do a little shopping. Jerome bought some special Scotch and then […]

We left Lebanon shortly after three o’clock and headed to Louisville. On the way we delivered Winston and Whitley to Connie (Janet’s sister) in Springfield. We stopped at Janet’s aunt and uncle’s house and her Uncle Gene drove us to the airport. We arrived in plenty of time because our plane to Detroit was delayed […]
