Here I Am Again

I look at this blog almost every day always hopeful. No, this isn't a make you feel guilty for not chatting. Our days are all filled with so many activities that sitting down to the computer at the end of the day and writing something is not exactly appealing. So much easier to mindlessly surf around and see what there is to see out in cyber world. I was glad to see your comment Susie. It is exciting for you off on your new adventure. I hope your will enjoy your new home. Soon you will be rather far removed from your family, but won't it be fun when you all get together? Are they going to help with your project of remodeling? Has Fall arrived there in Columbus? Are the trees lovely? We don't get much of that here in NC. It is almost a muted coloring of the maples with the contrast of the green pine trees. Pretty if I take time to really appreciate the beauty. I can't figure out how to keep the words of the paragraphs from running together. I add the spaces, but when I publish they are gone, gone, gone. Please figure that out for me. It drives me crazy. Well Lizzie, it is getting close to your trip to the big wedding. Are you excited? Do you have to wear a certain color dress or anything? I hope you are treated well by the "B". You know who I am referring to, don't you? Last weekend we went to Quantico, VA for a mini trip. We stayed on base and visited the Marine Corps Museum. Very interesting - and beautiful. Huge. Of course Earl walked my legs off as usual. That man can walk and walk and walk and never seem to get tired. Next month I think we are going to go back to Quantico and stay on base and take the train into D.C. The train goes right into the area where all the museums and sightseeing things are located. Then we won't have to deal with the traffic. Have either of you read any good books lately? I just finished reading Henry's Sisters. It was funny, sweet and sad all mixed together. It was a story about three sisters and their brother Henry. Some of the characters were quite unique. It seems I have been on the go constantly lately. I need a man like you have Lizzie that will do my laundry and clean my house. Could I borrow him? Earl just walked in my bedroom to let me know he was on the way to the golf course and said it looked like the Salvation Army in here. My neighbor brought 3 huge plastic trash bags full of clothes for me to see if I would want any of them. Her mother-in-law has cancer and is getting rid of them as she probably will die soon. If I wear any of them will I catch it?? Sorry, some of my silly sick humor creeping in and being creepy. Anyway, many, many high end wool suits and some rather outdated things. However, there are some slacks and skirts that I can probably use. She said to take the rest to the Salvation Army which I am going to do today after I have the car serviced. I have been quilting, bowling, playing Mah Jongg and visiting the nursing home. That is my life. Now please share some of yours when you are up to it. I love you my sisters and wish I could see more of you. Lori
