Hot Dogs

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I do not eat them any more. They’re made from what is on the floor. I do not like them, Oscar Meyer. Not even from a late campfire. I do not eat them off the grill. I won’t eat one at all until. . . . I’m at the Taylor County High School girls’ softball […]

Happy Birthday, Daddy. I miss you.

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Over the weekend I took two long walks. The first, on Saturday, was at dusk. I tried to walk my Kelley Ridge property line to the west of the lane coming back to the house. This is the only time of year to do it. I so wish I had the ability to clean up […]

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 […]

Safe Across the Pond

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Caitlan has let us know that she and Kyle arrived safely in Oxford. Thanks be to God. I hope they have a wonderful time during his visit there. Then she will be studying day and night for her final exams (I think they are called collections) before coming home on June 17th. I am so […]

Menopause the Musical

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Yesterday was not a happy day, at least not at first. I had to take off work to go home and search out all my info on what was in my stolen purse so that I could cancel and/or report everything. But somewhere in the interim, Dana called me to say that Lee had two […]

Lessons from Joan’s Life–Part Four

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Don’t leave your purse in your car overnight on the front seat, even if your car is parked in front of your house. I got home from Bible study and was so tired, I had determined I would go straight to bed, which I did. I could not even tell you whether I locked the […]

Interview

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Caitlan says she thinks her interview went well. It lasted from 11 until almost 5. Now we’ll see if call back. If they are smart, they will.

Prayers

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Please keep Caitlan in your prayers today as she has an important interview. May God’s will be done either way.

Spring Break Day Eight

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

I am the customer who has won “story of the day,” not once, but twice at Miller’s Tire and Auto! The first time was last summer when I took the truck in to have the oil changed, and the mechanic came out with a six foot snake skin from under the hood. I had moved […]

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 […]
