Tonight we went to a Bats game, but not really to see the Bats. Their special guest was the Phillie Phanatic. I’ve been a fan of the big green guy ever since Mr. B took me to my first Phillies game back in 1982. He did not disappoint! While our local mascot, Buddy Bat, can be [...]
Mr. B got home yesterday about noon. He even treated me to lunch at Subway–the man is just an incurable romantic. We went to a Bats game last night, and they actually managed to win a game.
We picked up BD early this afternoon. When she got off the bus, she gave me what may have been the longest, [...]
Mr. B gets back today (in just a couple of hours in fact) and BD gets home tomorrow. Guess my vacation is over for now. Good thing. Even I didn’t realize just how good a procrastinator I really am!
Last week I boiled my favorite pot dry. It was a Pampered Chef Professional saucepan (i.e., the really expensive kind). It boiled dry so long it cooked the finish right off the inside and wrecked the pot. For some odd reason, the lifetime warranty doesn’t include overheating (they must have seen me coming). It came [...]
My brother-the-programmer asked me to point out that it was my brother-the-carpenter who took Dad’s Harley for his son. Perhaps I’ll just refer to them as Little Brother (programmer) and Big Brother (carpenter) from now on! For more info on Little Brother’s family (one wife, 3 cats), check out his blog!
My brother-the-programmer sent me a link to a site about “Assisted Computed Facilities.” If you know anyone who just doesn’t get computers (especially those who mistakenly think they do), read this article!
Saturday morning I was up before 6 to help my sister with my dad (remember the broken ankle?). Sunday morning I was up at 5 to get ready to catch my flight back home. This morning I was up before 6 again to take Mr. B to the airport (okay, so he drove himself, but I [...]
Here’s a picture of my sister’s wedding on the shore of Oneida Lake. They had a perfect day. This is the view out of their front door. Well, there’s not usually a bride, groom & judge in their view, but the lake’s always there!
I went up to Syracuse this weekend for my sister’s wedding. Three days before the wedding, my 76 year old father went out on his Harley (against the advice of my brother and sister), took a curve too fast, and ended up with a broken ankle. He had surgery on it on Thursday and somehow [...]
Today my baby sister is 40 years old. That would make me….more than 40. ‘Nuff said.
I did my last stint at VBS this morning, and I don’t think I made any of the children cry. That’s what I call a successful morning. I’m hoping that after a couple of days away from it, I won’t [...]
