I met James, Susan, and Mom at Sacred Heart Church. I was lector for the first Sunday of Advent. We came back, ate lunch, and worked on going through piles of papers on Mombo’s desk. I stopped by Jay’s in the a.m. to have him check the tire from yesterday. No major damage but he […]

Up at 8 to go to Greystone to help cut wood for their Log Day. Ended up on Blue Bank Road loading logs into Joe-Ben after they were cut by James, Mingus, and Drew. Unloaded that truckload, and then helped Mombo get ready so that she could visit at Greystone and “inspect.” She enjoyed talking […]

I don’t like the term “Black Friday.” Too ominous. Cooked some more: baked turnips, pumpkin butter, gooseberry pie, pecan pie. Mom and I worked on cleaning out her desk. Made dvd of VIETNAM HD for James. I’ll never be able to watch it. Jerome, Janet, and Juliana came to hike on their land. Greystone crew […]

Well, maybe it was 6:30. Potatoes peeled. Card table and chairs out of the closet and table clothes on. I brined the turkeys. Pretty good. Maybe a little salty. Caitlan made roasted broccoli and cauliflower, butternut squash ice cream pie with gingersnap crust and her home-cooked pumpkin pie. Also a spicy pumpkin buttered rum drink […]

I need to do this because I am my mother’s daughter. What if I forget everything? I’ll try harder to write a bit every day. Just a bit. Who’s it for? For my kids. And for me when I can’t remember any more. Today is the day before Thanksgiving. I left Kelley Ridge around noon […]

After a visit to Mombo at the hospital I went up the road to L-ville. Mombo is fine. She had a procedure done to clear out an artery and will spend the night for observation. KK and Kyle met me at Fred’s where I will leave my car while I am in Portland doing my […]

Mombo and I started the day together at Sacred Heart Church where Fr. Pat Dolan said one of his instructional Masses. Afterward James and Susan took Mombo home so that I could go to Danville and meet Jerry at the breakfast bar at Shoney’s. We caught up with conversation and then went to the Peddler’s […]

Mombo and I got invited to Alyx’s 27th birthday at the Keep. Delicious food prepared by Jerusha and good family time.

We had the 2010 race at the Keep, and for the first time TwoTrees Racing (now Kelley Ridge Racing) was left entirely up to me! Once Brendan took over the broadcast booth for me, then Ian and Caitlan wer in charge of racing the cars, and I just sat back and watched. But yesterday I […]

*****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 […]
