This will be a very eventful time for all of us, so I am going to try to blog, even though I am busier that humanly possible. Today was our last day of school complete with a sing-along and teachers loaded into an “Elf Yourself” jib-jab that made the student body literally scream with laughter. […]

My favorite place for a cup of Joe and blogging is THE HUB in Danville.

never to be alone on both my birthday and Valentine’s Day evenings again! At least Patti cooked bulgogi, and it was quite delicious. My groupies are always there for me. But going home alone is the pits. This lady sings the blues

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 […]

Last night was spent in the company of my dear family. Mombo and I made Hoppin’ John, and Dana brought cabbage rolls. Jerusha and Clay brought lots of snacks, and I had my first taste of Bud Lime thanks to Clay. We put on the ’40’s music station ( later switched to the ’60’s), and […]

We had a wonderful Christmas day at Kelley Ridge as you will see from the pictures. We had been to the cathedral in Lexington for midnight Mass after gathering with the Clan for oyster stew at the Hall. On the next morning Brendan and Caitlan finished putting the last ornaments on the tree and rearranged […]

I love weekends. I actually slept in late (for me)—8 a.m.!! I headed off to Richmond to my favorite mechanics (Jay Edward excepted, of course)for an oil change on the Camry. They were able to replace my rear wipers (windshield, that is), but when they replaced my rear left turn signal bulb, lots of corroded […]

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 […]

Cotton Candy Blizzards–They’re Back!!!!! Eeeewww!!! A shiver ran all the way through my body to the gas pedal.
