LONG days…

So, I’ve now finished 1-1/2 days of inservice for school. Tomorrow is a full 8 hours on a new spelling program. It was almost 90 degrees here in NH and the schools don’t have a/c. The other thing I can’t figure out…with as much padding as I have on my bohunkus…why does it get so [...]

MIA Me…

Since my last post I have been running the roads with Hilary and Katie – getting them ready to go to college…have been to Philadelphia area and back in 36 hours dropping off Katie and all her stuff for Freshman orientation. Done more running with Hilary and started inservice today for school starting next week, [...]

So much happening…

Things have been a bit crazy around here and probably will continue that way for the next 7-10 days. We’ve been trying to get Katie ready to head to Eastern University on Friday. Imagine my BABY, a college freshman. She has been busy working, recording, singing and spending time with friends. Thankfully she has just [...]

Busy Days…

John and I had a great supper with our friends Steve and Pam S. last night. Considering we both feel so disconnected with people here, it is wonderful to meet with them as often as possible…shooting for once a month, but we’ll have to see how schedules go come September. This afternoon we went to [...]

Colleges, financial aid and family…

Well, I have spent many hours today trying to finish Hilary’s financial aid for college. It was due a month ago and I had MOST of it done, but have been waiting on one piece of information from the college before I would complete it and apply for her loan. After weekly phone calls [...]

A couple of vacation layouts…

Not much new here, but I did get a couple of LOs done late last night. It’s not very often John does dishes, so I took advantage of the photo op and then Lindsey took a photo of us. Gallazelli and Jack Johnson inspired the LO of me and John. The other LO is from [...]

Chainsaw Granny!!!

While on vacation my Mom wanted the bank on our property cleared. Mom bought an electric chainsaw because “the salesman told me it was light and even I could use it…”. That was the WRONG thing to say to my Mom. Even though we told her NOT to use it after we left and warned [...]

Hooray for Gallazelli!!

I finally found a way to get Katie and John singing on my blog – kinda. Click the link on the left and it will take you to Twango and then click on “Better Together” on that page and it should play.

Dagnab Bear!!!

I have two great birdfeeders from Yankee Droll and I enjoy watching all the birds. We have never had problems with bears before, but evidently Saturday night one decided to make one of my birdfeeders and a suet feeder a snack. He left all parts except the cylinder for the Droll feeder. I took [...]

August…?!?!?

It’s hard to believe it is August 1st…where did my summer go? We leave tomorrow to head back to NH…long trip, but I am ready for my own bed. It has been great to be with family and to see old friends…only wish I could see them more often. Hilary wanted to go to the [...]
