I Promised!

I promised pictures of mom's new room at Presbyterian Manor. Here she is on her bed. She is so enjoying having her own space! She's even got a new wall clock, and a picture of Elvis! She's set now!

I survived getting up early yesterday for the Eagle's "Taking It To The Streets" Campaign. Several of us manned the 21st & Amidon intersection. Our team leader, my friend Chris, told me today we raised almost $500! That's not too bad considering there were only 3 of us out there for the whole 4 hours. One person was a no show, and two folks were late. But the good thing is we raised money for United Way! Sorta makes you feel good at the end of the day! I didn't get any pictures of our morning. I was pretty much still asleep when I left home! I just put the van on auto-pilot and took off!

Music of the day: Josh Groban, mellow music for the drive home from work tonight.

And our quote for today is: "Attitude is the palette by which our lives are painted." -- Unknown

Mom looks happy about having her own room.
I think I'm still recovering from Taking it to the Streets. My legs a still killing me. Oh well, it's worth all the hard work and feeling good at the end of the day.

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore
