Dear Friends

Dear Friends

 it’s a few minutes before midnight and it is quiet here.  Mom has been in bed for nearly 2 hours.  I Have been home from the games since maybe around 8.  I have been multitasking heavily between the TV (watching things like the Dr. Who programs on BBC America) and the computer (visiting the forums and blogs).

M&R picked me up a little after 2 and a very short time later we were at Gary and Carol’s house we were the last of the group to arrive.  Once we were all in side we emptied our bags with our contributions and then we sat down and began to eat.  We ate about an hour and half and then started the thirteen rounds of the game.  We had the pleasure of Stan’s Daughter Michelle (?) with us and she was lovely.  She caught on quickly on how to play the game.

Of course I had a lot of stuff and even though I promised in this entry I would be careful-I flopped but haven’t had the aches and pains that I would be expecting.

Sadly I was told that M&R’s daughter and SIL are in the process of divorcing after five years.  I am afraid I didn’t take it well.   I didn’t get angry but I cried.  Miriam is a wonderful girl and what I heard last night was terrible.

Well its time for me to go to bed…have a great night.

Fabulous Friday

The weather today was absolutely fabulous.  A little on the windy side but beautiful.  While it was wonderful here my thoughts drifted to the midwest and the west coast where both are dealing with terrible conditions.  The midwest was hit but an unusual May snowstorm that effects from MN all the way down towards Oklahoma..  California is experiencing the worst wildfire in many years..  Four THousand homes are being lost.  School and universities canceling classes because of the fires.  Connecticut has some wildfire alerts in the northern part of the state as well as southeast part of the state.  My heart goes out to everyone in this unfortunate time..  

Work was good I got a lot done and even managed a birthday song or two.  There was an employee participation meeting that I had to miss.   Apparently there was a picture of me in the presentation taken a couple of years back.  Several people mentioned it to me in the last two days.

I had my session with Debra today.  I told her about the bumps in the road that I experienced this week with Mom.  We talked about work, and the plans for the next couple of weeks.  We will meet again next Friday.

When I came home tonight the guys were still working on the sewer project on our street and worked until 7:30.  I think I am going to take a walk down in that direction to see what has been going on.

Mom and I had lasagna that was already made from Costco (it was frozen) and we agreed it was pretty good. for $10.  Mom has broken it down into smaller portions for the future.

I managed to get some laundry done and  are getting some things done for tomorrow’s Mexican train game.

We set the table up tonight (added the leaf and tablecloth) and put out plates for our dinner tomorrow.  I will bring up the chairs before taking off for the labs tomorrow.  We have the coffee and we also have to get the ice maker ready for fresh ice.  I hope everyone can find a place to park tomorrow.  Some of the equipment has been moved around.

My right leg has been bothering me this evening.  I am not sure why.  I know I walked pretty fast today and i caught my leg in between the bed and the chair a couple of times.  IF I get off it soon it will be fine.

OKay I am going to bed.  I hope you had a great Friday.
