Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to Corby - our kids are so lucky to have such a great dad! They are sure going to miss his cooking and car knowledge when they head to Manhattan!

It's HOT! HUMID! NASTY! But at least our tomato plants are doing well.Abby & Muffin have been hanging out in strange places...not sure why they were laying on this afghan. They knocked it off a basket under my drafting table.Abby likes to climb behind the blind in the window on the south side of the basement. I rarely open that blind. I've caught her climbing between the slats. Hopefully she won't get stuck and choke herself.

We've been playing the computer / monitor / TV shuffle today. Kaleb built a new computer for school, so we had an extra hard drive. We took the LCD TV out of our bedroom and made it the monitor for my computer - then took my old monitor and put it on Kaleb's old hard drive so Corby will have a computer!!!! Can you believe it? I'm finally getting him into the technology world!!!! He knows how to surf the net a bit, but really doesn't spend ANY time on the computer at all, so now we'll be able to e-mail each other across the basement - HA! I might even get him on Facebook! The kids have played the TV shuffle, so we actually got our old TV back from Kaitlin, so we put it back in the bedroom.

Corby insists on cooking today - even though it's Father's Day. He's going to make chicken & rice soup, which might sound too hot for a hot day - but his soup is awesome - it doesn't make any difference if it's hot outside or not! His birthday is tomorrow. Not sure yet if we're taking him out to eat or to a movie - doubt we'll do both. We all want to see "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock, so we'll probably go see it.

Today's music is random - some Melissa Etheridge, Elton John, Michael W. Smith, Captain & Tennille - have it set on shuffle, so I'm listening to all sorts of stuff!

I like this W.C. Fields quote: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it."

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

VACATION

On vacation for a few days (return to work on Thursday)...here's where I wish I was... I plan on enjoying some peace and quiet...and possibly, if I get motivated, getting some cleaning and organizing done in the office area of the basement. We'll see if that motivation arrives (it's not here yet)... Good news for Park City residents...recycling came to town the first of January. We are charged $4.00 month (added onto our already high water bill); but it has lowered the price of our trash pickup. The company P.C. contracted with has a much lower price than the company we use. Our company matched the price, so our trash bills went down (considerably) AND we get to recycle. We can recycle almost all our plastics, newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans, cereal boxes, glass, motor oil, etc. We've got two big bags to set out tomorrow. Just doin' our part for the environment. We are without hot water right now...our hot water heater needs a new thermo-couple? It's a fair
