We’ve been having some pretty wild storms here the past few nights, and last night was the worst yet. There were tornadoes in southern Indiana and in the county next to us. School was cancelled in our county today. I know for a fact that BD’s school didn’t have water all day, because we didn’t, [...]
Our Son’s averaging 2 or 3 job applications a day, with only one real prospect in sight. That one’s only part time and doesn’t start for a couple of more weeks. Don’t tell him, but I really didn’t think it would be this hard to find a summer job. Then again, I didn’t think he’d [...]
At least that’s what HS claims. He’s seen way too many wood roaches down in our basement. Don’t those creatures know that there are plenty of trees in the yard for them to live in??? Then the other day he came across a wolf spider in the family room. If you’ve never seen one up close [...]
Let’s hope the rest of the week isn’t as busy. Mr. B had a 9:30 flight out this morning, so we barely had time to get BD on the schoolbus then stop for a cup of coffee on the way to the airport. We’ve obviously been spending too much time at this coffee shop. When I ordered [...]
And the livin’ is easy. I love Gershwin…but I digress.
Today after church some neighbors invited us over for a swim in their pool, and for dinner. Never one to turn down the opportunity to avoid cooking, I accepted. I did go so far as to offer to bring a green salad. HS was already heading [...]
What a morning!
1) fake tan stuff on my poor pale legs
2) L’Oreal Excellence R6 on my hair
3) something to deal with a little unwanted facial hair
4) and while I’m at it, another coat of polish on my toenails
And that doesn’t even count make-up and hair products. Must be a lot cheaper to be a man.
So there we were, driving down road toward Louisville today, when what to our wondering eyes should appear but a runaway horse! Actually, it was not the first one I’ve seen here, but it was the first one I’ve seen hooked to a sulky. Harness racing is not a big draw here. Luckily, the horse [...]
I find that there’s nothing like watching a baseball game to keep me entertained while I iron. You don’t have to keep you eye on the TV all the time and all less likely to scorch your clothes that way.
Last night I had to do some ironing (since none of my shorts fit, I needed [...]
Why do schools ask kids to dress up???? Last fall BD’s class studied the Pilgrims and did little plays about them. BD played several roles–male & female. I managed to find some patterns online for Pilgrim hats and a collar (thank goodness for craft felt!), then put her in a white blouse and a black skirt of mine [...]
Seems like the weekend just flew by this time! Spent most of yesterday afternoon involved with choir stuff at church, then took Mr. B to the airport. Just as I got on the expressway to go home, he called to say he’d left his glasses in the car (he was wearing his Rx sunglasses). You’d think [...]
