Yesterday was a good day because I spent the day with my friends the Willetts. You know those friends that are always there for you and even if you haven’t been together for a while you just take up where you left off in the conversation. We raised our kids together and grieved our losses […]

My friend Annie hates it when I say we’ve been fired. She says we have been “lifted up” out of evil to be placed where we can do good. Sharon says we have been removed from a “cesspool,” and that we’ll feel clean again once we’re not here (she left last year). Hmmm. . .

Breakfast with the Groupies at Cracker Barrel. Visit with Alyx at 4th Street where she told me she is moving back to the Keep. I’ll miss her. Clean-up of porch at 4th St. Help middle school parents with yard sale–leftovers went to Cabrini Closet, our thrift store. Watch the Derby. Exciting finish. Not as exciting […]

Slushy, rainy, snow-mess day. Not freezing on the roads yet, but Caitlan and I stayed in town at Sharon’s house, just in case the roads may be bad in the a.m. Caitlan went to Louisville Tile to pick up the last of the ceramic tile for the main flooor at Kelley Ridge. Things are advancing, […]

I have a wonderful aunt and uncle (actually I have several wonderful aunts and uncles) who treated me to a trip to England last summer. My friend and cohort, Sharon, accompanied us, and I had the time of my life. If their intent was to bring me out of the doldrums, they succeeded. With the […]

Ate breakfast, after shower, with Bob and Carol. Had oatmeal, prunes, toast and grapefruit juice, tea with milk. Walked to American Express to get checks cashed and to internet cafe to check e-mail. Mine was very slow so I didn’t get to read them. I did send a message home. Then we walked to Somerset […]

Hailed a cab after some difficulty to St. Paul’s Cathedral and got there just in time for the 11:00 service–Stravinsky Mass with male choir (boys and men) and wind quintet. Female […]

Arrived at St. Margaret’s Hotel at around 11 after cab drive from Victoria Station. I was actually at VICTORIA STATION!! Roads were blocked off because of bombing so cab dropped us off and we walked. Bob anc Carol already here. We all took showers and walked to the British Museum. Ater at the restaurant there. […]

Yesterday terrorists bombed three tube stations and a bus in London. Around 40 people dead. We’re still going. Left with Bob and Carol for Cincy airport at 10:30. They stayed at […]
