Rain, Rain, Go Away…

We are still feeling the effects of “IKE”. The rain has made for a few dreary days. Yesterday was busy with a ladies prayer breakfast in the AM and One Voice rehearsal in the late afternoon. There were 10 ladies at the breakfast and we made the decision to move our meeting back to the [...]

All is well.

Not much to post. It has been a busy few days; I’m getting back into the Monday and Saturday One Voice routine. I have most of the cast chosen for the “One Quiet Night” drama. I hope to have it all finalized by Monday. School is going great. I am really enjoying the kids I [...]

Whee! I mean WII!!!

Today is John’s birthday!  This morning I handed him a bag, before I left for school, and said, “I know you might need a break from your work here today so this might help.

When I went to apply for the girls college loans in August I discovered that the lender we have always used is no longer funding college loans.

What was I thinking?

John went fishing on Chocorua Lake this AM and then after lunch we head to Gorham. I had never been up the Mt. Washington Auto Road, so we decided today was the day…oh boy…Halfway up I decided the White Pass and Yukon Railroad in Alaska was a piece of cake compared to this. I am [...]
