Someone at the campground has accessed this journal.
Under normal circumstances, that wouldn't be a problem. However, whoever it was -- and I'm not allowed to know who -- 'they' spoke with 'The Guys' about my entries concerning my Love. If it's here and I've mentioned the 'gag order,' why did 'they' go to anyone but me?

Now I'm being raked over the ( Read more... )

I apologize for being flaky about posting. I'll work on it. At least once a week, I should check in. Sometimes, though, I really don't think of something that might interest others. I might be all wrapped up in it but it wouldn't interest anyone else.  I'll work on it. I promise.

We used the linen tablecloth and napkins, the good china, the full set of silverware, crystal and china serving dishes, the whole thing. Etiquette lessons were taught there, and it was a great opportunity to meet and share ( Read more... )

My daughter put herself financially in the hole to help me. She'll recoup but it will take time. And the belt stays tightened until then. Friends gave their off-work hours and sleep time to provide aid. And now another example of the strength of family love shines through.

You see, I have a brother who once wrote software, created programs for a ( Read more... )

As a preteen girl, there were certain 'lessons' Mom insisted I learn. If we went back a hundred years, they'd be labeled Deportment and Breeding or some such. As a result, there was a time when I could walk with a book on my head without one hand up there, ready to catch it. I could sit straight, not allow my skirt to ride up, know what topics were ( Read more... )
