WOW! We got a lot done today! First Beth came to town and picked me up at Millers where my car was getting worked on so I didn’t have to walk. I was glad for that. She helped me paint edges before rolling the wall color. It looked really dark to me, and I started […]

When I left Kelley Ridge on Sunday morning for Sacred Heart, I decided to put Greg in the car first because he was jumping all around, oh so excited, because he wanted to come along. Once I got him in the car, I finished loading things without having him potentially trip me (which he has […]

In dixonese, lazo-butt is a derogatory term, a slur. But I feel that is what I’ve been for the past two days. I had Thursday and Friday off due to illness in my school district. I thought I could get monumental amounts of work done. Well, I started by staying in bed at Yorkshire Estates […]

Today I took my adventurous daughter to the airport to once again cross the pond and pursue her Oxford education. I decided I wanted to have adventures in 2007. I was just as hard as it always is—seeing her go through security and trying to wave to her when she is almost out of sight […]

Today the Willetts came to have Willett-Adkins Christmas at Kelley Ridge. It was so nice to have them here. Andrew couldn’t come because he had to work. So we all missed him. Pat worked on the front porch light. We had lasagna and salad and snacks. Verla brought us her signature oyster crackers. She also […]

I left as soon as I could after school. I had to to the Valley to get Greg. Then I dropped him off at Deb’s before meeting Nancy and Mor-Mor at the Hampton Inn. We talked for a while and then went out to eat. We wanted to go to Red Lobster, but there was […]

I tried to make it to Mass at Sacred Heart, but I was too late. It was really disappointing. I had been looking forward to it all day. But then my principal wanted me to do some other stuff for report cards, and so I was late. I feel as if I’m missing my chance […]

It was storming when I left for school today. It was hard to see, and I came upon what looked like a box in the road before I could even swerve. I thought I would hit it out of the way with Joe Toyota, but I ran over it–it was one heavy mother of a […]

Last night the Camry would not start. This morning I awoke and went out to see if Icould jump it. It started right up, so I drove to the gas station to get coffee. It would not start. Frank McBrayer was out walking and saw me and tried to jump it. I guess I thought […]

It is Thursday already! This week is progressing way too quickly I talked to Caitlan on SKYPE today. I love high speed internet access. Thank goodness for Chapel and SKYPE. She is trying to get her return flight in January set up already, and I’m trying to decide whether I want to go see her […]
