We arrived at Gatwick Airport about 10 a.m. Judy and Charlie, friends of Jerome, met us with their van. Brendan was at Gatwick also. It was so good to see him. They brought us all back to Hever Hotel in Kent (the Garden of England). The hotel was located a mile from Hever Castle which […]

We left Lebanon shortly after three o’clock and headed to Louisville. On the way we delivered Winston and Whitley to Connie (Janet’s sister) in Springfield. We stopped at Janet’s aunt and uncle’s house and her Uncle Gene drove us to the airport. We arrived in plenty of time because our plane to Detroit was delayed […]

It is so wonderful to have Caitlan home. Unfortunately, she caught a bug somewhere along the line (maybe on the plane), so her first week home wasn’t the most pleasant. She and Kyle were able to eat dinner here in Campbellsville with Janet and me before she got sick. Janet made delicious taco soup. I […]

Tonight Jerome, Janet, and I skyped Brendan and Caitlan at Brendan’s flat in London (Battersea). KK had gone to visit him and will the stay the night. It was so good to see them together. KK looked happy to be with her big bro, and BCA admitted that he is still suffering from a little […]

I got to stay home today! I don’t really know why school was closed, and I probably would have gone again by mistake if it had not been for Janet shouting to me when I was already in the shower, “Joan, I think Marion County is closed.” I’m supposed to be on some kind of […]

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 […]

Two years ago today, I woke to find my dear, precious Joe Wood dead in the bed beside me. Aunt Betty, my model true believer, would call this Joe’s Glory Day. KK and I decided that today should be a party since we decorated Kelley Ridge for Christmas for the first time this year. So […]

You must look at my daughter in England. Click on England Blog link on my main page. Caitlan is at Oxford looking matriculated. I want my sons to post pictures of where they are in their respective cities. Last night I should have done all kinds of business, but I accidentally started watching FATHER OF […]

Tea is so very fine. It all started with Verla and me when the kids were young, and we decided we liked teapots and wanted to make tea cozies. Caitlan liked to collect little tea sets, but the most amazing tea set was the beautiful water blue one that was Mombo’s when she was little. […]
