September 11, 2011

Today is a day in infamy, on the level of Pearl Harbor. May everyone feel the unity that we on that day ten years ago, and honor those heroes that gave their lives for others, along with those who lost so much on that day.

This has been a good week for me. Sunday I went to my cousin Fernie's, where my brother, Jerry, and his wife, Laura; my cousin, Bruce, and his wife, Dorothy; my cousin, Arlene; and my cousin Lloyd's widow and daughter all met. Had a great time catching up on each other, and looking at photos of past reunions. So glad I've found someone who will come spend some time with Tilly. May be able to do a little more traveling now.

Have had a great time taking care of and/or playing with two German Short-hair pointer, five poodles, a beijon frieze, a beijon/Maltese mix, a samoyd, and a kitty that reminds me of George.
Also picked up pears and walnuts and picked green beans. My fridge is full of healthy food, now.

This afternoon Daniel came by with a friends' red convertible and took me for a drive. Been a long time since I've ridden in one of those. Reminded me of the ride us kids took in Richie's white convertible on Christmas day, but was much more comfortable weather.

Still need to wrap and send penguins, clear off the kitchen table so I (hopefully) don't lose and bills, clean up the living room so I can start a monthly game day with some friends and go out and pull up the golden rod and night shade that has taken over my yard and garden. Trumpet Vine is getting out of control, too.

Having a bit of trouble settling down tonight. Maybe I'll go try again. Night.

Were your ears burning? You were right there in the middle of the conversation. :-) They kind of figured it would be difficult for you to make it, since you couldn't bring the kids and make them skip school.
