Still here

Dh is doing his checkbook. Heaven only knows when we'll leave for Virginia.! Sometime before mid-afternoon,I hope. Been there. Done that, truly.  Let me get back to you on it!

more trouble

Air conditioner quit on the van. Must take PT Cruiser to Virginia tomorrow. See I told you there was  a reason for having all those kids. It was so we can play "musical cars". Are we having fun yet?

BEtwEen CRasHes

Miss me? Computer crash again! That's the third time this month. Everything went begging. Sorry! I think he's buying a MAC. Not a quarter pounder. An APPLE! Got it? I hope so. No ergo keyboard though, I hope. I really will have to wear glasses then.

Yesterday when I was

The next word is YOUNG. Right now I feel that it has been longer since yesterday for me. Trying to get everything caught up on SWAPBOT before we head out again. Working out pretty well, too. Except that I can't remember what size needle I used for the band on that market bag. Think I'll assume that I used what the pattern called for. I shall never use that pattern again on anything less than a 40 inch circular.

You know accidents happen

On the way back we detoured from I-68 to I-70 to US30. Accidents! Took us 2 hours longer but hey we saw country that we will never get to see again, I hope. US30 is an old mountain highway, two lane. I remembered about an hour in to the mountains that that kind of driving and my mother don't mix. She threatened never to go to Virginia with me again because of that road, as if I planned it. She's sitting on the edge of her seat, reading all of the signs for trucks and wanting me to gear down, because 45 is too fast. For that matter, so was 30. Then she says that if the brakes burn up WE can call KENNY. Right?So instead of getting into Ohio at 9 as planned, it was closer to 11 and then the overhead lights wouldn't go off in the car and she's punching every button that the dash has to offer. We pulled into a Red Roof and they charged too much. The days of $18 a night are over. Right? Right! We stayed anyway. My treat! Check out is 12 noon. We left at 11:50 am.

Goodwill hunting!

My mom has withdrawal. True enough. She has not been to a GW or a thrift store in days, so I found one in Greenfield, In and in Indianapolis. She felt better. All right by me too.Did not find her any pants to go back to Virginia. As if they were sorely needed! She's just trying to get out of sewing. That's all right, too, I guess.

BEHIND on the year again

Ten posts behind for July and one someplace else. Poison ivy or whatever it was looks better. Nanny is having fun and Matt needs a change. All good!!

We're here! You're there!

This is our second full day in Virginia.Weather is not supposed to be great later in the week. This is Thursday.How much later in the week can you get?! Hey the keys are reversed on the lines and question slash. Just thought Id throw that in for you. So is the z and y and there is no apostrophe. WOW!

Company

Highlight visit by Todd and Maidy and MATT. Guapo baby! Hey I know that I'm mixing languages by what the heck. Susan came too for the wedding and brought Ariana. Susan and I went to the yarn shop.--Stitches and Scones. Got the last scone, too! What fun she is!

I'm good!

Well I have held together more or less for the week amid all the goings on. I just hope next summer isn't like this-weddings, okay, but forget the divorce. Oh Yes! Dee called to say that she and Tom are calling it quits.

Rental Car

Looks as if we will rent a car for the trip to Virginia. Nothing like getting the van ready to go only to have it refuse to start to be back out of the garage. I sure bet there were some red-faced mechanics. Oh, brother! Probably thought they had broke something for sure!

REAL GOOD reunion

Saturday was food eating day. The Jones family has some really good chefs and that includes second and third generations. All right? All right!The whole thing was at Lori's house on US 40.People from 3 states all related to Charles and Edna. Good? Very good!

Matt's GUAPO

Well he is. Just in case you have not heard I thought that this would be a good time to tell you again. Brad spent the afternoon holding him and smooching on him while he was asleep. Before Brad came he only slept about 20 minutes at a time. Then Brad showed up. Matt zonked right out, almost as if he were waiting for his Uncle Brad. We all went to MARIO's for supper after dh woke up.Dh goes to work tonight and believe me he didn't have to wait for Brad to get here to go to sleep. John and Joany came down later.
