What are They ThinkingI wrote this rant last night, but couldn’t get on line to post it. Tonight by hook or by crook, and with Al’s assistance, I was able to dial up. I don’t have enough energy left to write another blog entry for today, so this will have to do.

They claim we can start moving in tomorrow afternoon, however. Cross all our fingers. This is one case in which anticipation is not half of the fun. I fear there ain’t gonna be any fun until the move is all over. My eye exam went well… click here to continue July, 05th, 2006 Happy Birthday to our CountryWe had a quiet morning puttering with our computers and playing cards. Al’s niece from Seattle called from her parents’ house in Molalla to invite us to a barbecue in late afternoon. We drove out there in traffic that was so light we arrived early. There were several other guests to meet before dinner. One was a high school… click here to continue July, 04th, 2006 |
