Today was winery day. First we had a wonderful lunch at a Bistro on the way there. It ws the first time I had clam chowder with the clams in shell. Delicious! Brendan was our chauffeur, and Kara and I had wine tastings at three of the many wineries near Portland–Erath, Sokol-Blosser, and Argyle. It […]

Sunday. We had been to church last evening, so this morning we got up and went to the Farmers’ Market. We bought apples and frozen meat. We even got yak summer sausage. Then BCA&KN introduced me to tamales for breakfast and now I am hooked. They served us right out of their steaming pans. We […]

*****The Academic Team I am coaching won two and tied one out of 3 matches at our scrimmage last night. We played West Marion, Glasscock, and Lebanon Elementary. We did not have time to play Campbellsville. *****I think that the Santa Fe salad at Sonic wins over the Blue Zalad at Zaxby’s,although both are very […]

Deb took me to WICKED at the Kentucky Center for the Arts as an early birthday present. We met KK and Kyle for Mass at St. Louis Bertrand first. Then Deb and I went to the play. It was WONDERFUL!! I highly recommend it to anyone who likes THE WIZARD OF OZ. This is based […]

Sabbath is a day of rest. So Jerry and I decided to have a more restful day than most. We had agreed to meet for a breakfast bar date at Shoney’s. Then we walked through the Peddler’s Mall where he found a leather Civil War pouch and I found a blue glass flower pot. We […]

Monday saw me back to school, and since report cards are coming out, I was very busy all week. As is my wont, I procrastinated over the break and did not grade all the library folders that I should have. So this week saw me playing “catch-up.” On Monday night Jerry came to Kelley Ridge, […]

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, and […]

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 […]
