KateP's musings

I have been trying for the last two hours to sleep. It’s not working. I can pretty much pin point the reason: the coffee and tea I had earlier today. I have tried almost everything. Surfing the net, going to the forums I frequent, reading the emails, and watching TV. My cousin CH passed along some news concerning his niece CB (B& J’s daughter). I haven’t seen her since her grandmothers passed away some years ago. She took over running the Dance School J started all those years ago. It’s good to know what she is up to.

I tried to get up at 5:30 and start the laundry but it didn’t work so I started just about the time Mom got up for the day. I should be finished with it by 2 at least.

I had a chance to catch up with him some years back when he was temporarily at West River Nursing home (nee Mediplex). His wake is this afternoon at Cody White Funeral home. The ice cream social went pretty well. Telka had a lovely video presentation for our potential member named Natalie. She is going to be a freshman at Laurelton. Five of the girls from the girls club came and we had a great time. We talked about work, the Relay for Life, and of course school. They are full of energy. I had my share of ice cream, fruit salad, and brownies and cookies. The next one is on Friday. My intention will be to be there for that. Telka and Ted leave tomorrow for Seattle Washington to drop Ted off for his semester in the Wilderness program. According to Telka he hadn’t finished packing for this trip. She al...
