Sunday Musings




It's always fun to have someone call and say, "we're on on way from...and we'd love to stop".  Jane and Darrell hadn't ever been to Charlotte so they now officially join the group of folks who love the food, are a reason to gather together some "locals" have a good time, chatter through stories of who knows which Krider or in-law or outlaw or both--get Kris to cook in their super kitchen, Michele and the girls to hostess AND spend the afternoon on the bleachers cheering Sam's outstanding pitching! Plus perfect report cards, and tonight, supper at Azteca to celebrate #75 for the late great Joe Schmid--one"punny, punny" guy!  A special toast to the next grrrrrr---o-O-O-O-om, Kevin Josef. Call from CO that one more snow has already melted, a call from Bob & Eva--trip was terrific--lookin forward to a trip letter, cousin photos and a full report soon.  Heard from Jane that Brad's "visiting" Godmother Marijo plus some of her L'burg girlfriends will be there for blowing out candles-- I shall remind EVERYONE please, that I wanted a girl--everyone else including Dr. P. thought a "boy for Bobby"--I WAS RIGHT!!  

Coming home, Willie Nelson was crooning "Georgia on my Mind."  She and Dad should have lived to be 110 to see, hear and add to the stories.  Lengthy update from Linda Satchwill who last week celebrated #60, next week Marijo is #50, and April 23rd also is the date to think happy thoughts for all that Janie K. deYoung brought to us until those horrible final 84 days of a life too short.

Paul O'keefe, where & what # b'day were you celebrating?  I'm still jealous that Grandmother took Betsy to Boston (on the TRAIN!!!) to meet you!  

And then--April 29 is for celebrating Betsy and Grandma Satchwill.  THEN----IT'S MAY, IT'S MAY, THE LUSTY MONTH OF MAY!

April really is awesome.

Just catching up on what's happening at your end of the US...and you are busy as usual.

OK, have you ever heard of the HBO series 'the wire'? It is no longer on but was listening to its creator/writer and sounds amazing. I think he's got it RIGHT!

Oh for the 'someday' when I can watch TV, Play on the Computer and READ books. How can people afford to do it though? I'd have to give up shopping, dog shows, and of all things...cleaning supplies:-) Oh and then there's that house payment. Moan, moan, moan.

TTYL.
