I love my piano. It was my big present when Wayne and I moved into TwoTrees. He said I should have the piano, and then he could have his FoosBall table. But I think he was as excited about the piano as I was. I’m glad we had it for all three of the kids […]

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 […]

Today I mostly worked at 4th Street trying to move stuff either downstairs or to the van to take to Kelley Ridge. The morning was spent trying to clear up errors in my credit reports. I only found out about these because I tried for a parent PLUS loan in case Caitlan needed and got […]

Today I spent most of my day at Kelley Ridge. I had spent the night at Deb’s and slept in until I was awakened by KK’s phone call. At first I thought it was my alarm, so I’m glad I looked at the phone and answered it instead of pushing the hang up key! Caitlan […]

I put my baby on a plane today, and it was harder than the last time. I don’t know why–she’ll be home at Christmas, and I intend to visit her. Maybe it’s because she and Kyle are in a different place. Maybe it’s because I am in a different place. I depend on her a […]

I knew I had to start blogging again because I so expect Caitlan to do so when she goes to England. I miss more frequent entries from both my sons, but I can’t rag them when I post even less frequently. I have used si-kus such as, “I’ll start when KK leaves,” or “When things […]

But we’ll keep having them, just to have a reason to say, “I’m just going to give this stuff away–it’s not worth anything.” Friday night I loaded doors and sawhorses to make tables into Joe’s truck and took them to Michele and Frank’s yard. Ben and his girlfriend Jennifer (an old Ballet friend of KK’s) […]

I went to see one of my students perform at Singletary Center in the Blugrass Youth Ballet’s production of “A Tail of Tales.” The young, beautiful French director of the ballet composed it from the stories “The Three Little Pigs,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” and “Peter and the Wolf,” the common thread being the character […]

Yesterday Alice and KK spent time at the Valley and went to church in Lancaster. I got off work and went back to 4th St. The transformation of the bed and bathrooms was phenomenal. What a great thing a little paint is. They hauled old doors from the barn at Kelley Ridge to 4th St., […]

Alice is here. YAY! She inspires us to do work! We got started on the entry way on 4th Street–tore down a wall and revealed a staircase. How invigorating it is to sledge hammer holes and crow-bar down chunks of drywall. It’s why some people like to watch “This Old House.” Alice and KK had […]
