Quite amazing day. We slept in late and then went to J & J’s room where we brunched on fruit, cheese, hummus, and muffin. KK down-loaded all our pictures to her laptop. Then we started walking down Hever Road. It was a little scary because some places in the road had no shoulder. It was […]

We headed out via taxi (van) after having said morning prayer with Jerome and Janet and went to Edenbridge Town where we caught a train to London. Because it was after 10 we got off peak tickets for five pounds fifty which took us on the train, the bus, and the tube. Great deal! We […]

We were up early and drove to Leigh on Sea wtih Judy and Charles. We stopped at their flat (very cute–1 bedroom, living room, kitchen and bath) then walked to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church for Palm Sunday Mass. we began with palms and procession from outside. It was a very old church–prety stained […]

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 never had a hard time not eating meat on Ffidays because I liked the food that we did have. I only remember one time that I was tempted to eat meat–Friday night football games and hot dogs. In those days we always had pizza and spaghetti with meat, and Mombo made vegetable soup and […]

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 […]

Mombo began one of her blog entries with, “Ok, it’s 81.” Well, today I wasn’t feeling that it was ok to be 57. It felt way too close to 60. And a kid named Carlos hit my coffee mug with his backpack and sent it flying across the floor where it broke into 20 pieces […]
