This past month my town’s Chamber of Commerce teamed up with a local high school’s Leadership Class to do a drive for foster kids. It was all the Leadership Class’ idea and I am very proud of them for thinking of this, instead of doing one of the big organization like The Cancer Society (a good cause, but glad they picked something unrepresented ( Read more... )

Aaahhh, I woke up from my afternoon nap and looked up and there was a spider on the ceiling!! And I hate spiders ( Read more... )

I suppose we will start on Monday, when Sis texted me that there was a gas leak at her office, back in the warehouse. Junior Supervisor was in charge, so she did what the emergency card told her to do and called maintenance. Who said, “Yeah, we’ll check that out.” With no mention of when they’d check that out. And no instructions to evacuate ( Read more... )

So, yeah, Sis tried wrapping up the cats. Pippin tolerated it. Hiccup loved it! When she let go of him, he just sat there. Then she unwrapped a corner so he could get out, but he just burrowed farther in. Then later she put his wrapping paper on the floor and he rolled around all over it. I mean, they opened a gift tonight and it was a flower ( Read more... )

Hey all! I just wanted to drop in and let you know that I am doing okay. I appreciate - more than you can know - all the emails, texts, messages & comments you guys sent me after Mom passed. There was a point, about three days after she died, where sympathy cards had started arriving and you guys were sending me messages and the FB post about ( Read more... )

So I gave my sister very explicit instructions on what candy & how much to buy this year for Halloween. She never buys enough, but The BFF always comes through with backups, but since The BFF wasn't coming down this year, I was nervous. Sis did excellent on the type of candy tho! She didn't quite buy enough, had we had our usual turnout, but ( Read more... )

My mother passed away yesterday afternoon. I am told it was peaceful, that her breathing just slowed and then she was gone. My siblings and the aunt that was my mom's best friend were all with her at the end ( Read more... )
