Some things are just a waste of time and the flag amendment is one of them. It is just an opportunity to get up at posture about how devoted one is to America instead of attacking the real issues of the day. Perhaps I’d be a little less cynical if I didn’t think it was […]
Yesterday we only had 1.34 inches of rain. This was only about half of Monday’s 2.60 and much less than Sunday’s 3.19 inches. After the first day and our renewed eye on the sump pump the basement remains dry. I actually think we got off pretty good compared to the rest of the region. Both […]
So President Bush is all upset about the New York Times publishing information last Friday about the anti-terrorism program that studies banking data of potential terrorists. He says this does “great harm” to the nation. Apparently the conservatives agree with him and The Times is taking a beating. I thought conservatives and the president would […]
As you can see, John was thrilled to meet cousin Cal.
Silly me. With all yesterday’s rain and the huge down pour last night, I never gave a thought to the basement. I wish I had because at some point the sump pump didn’t come on and we have some water in the basement. Now that we jiggled it the water is moving out, but it […]
Saturday morning Scotty left the house with Caitlin at about 8:30 am and returned 12 hours later with Caroline after a day of softball. Each girl had three games and he got to see all of Caitlin’s and about half of Caroline’s. The nice thing about this weekend was that they were in the same […]
We got to see the world’s cutest baby. Well, at least this year’s version. He’s got long feet, dark blue eyes, some dark hair, and an easy going disposition. Bobby and Joy did very well. The girls and I went first and Caitlin had the misfortune of holding him third so he fussed for her. […]
Calvin Greeley Williams has arrived. 8 pounds 2 ounces by C-section since he was projected to be even larger. Can’t wait to meet him!
Mr. Curtis, both Caroline and Caitlin’s sixth grade teacher retired yesterday after 42 years of teaching, the last seven at Stratford Landing. He was one of those transforming teachers for both girls because of his ability to get every student to think beyond themselves and their environment. Plus he always really listened to the kids […]
Sandburg had an “awards” assembly where they gave out superlatives as voted on by the other kids. (One way to kill a few hours at the end of the year. For the last couple of weeks Scotty has greeted Caitlin with “How many movies did you see today?”) Anyway, those who remember Caitlin’s gapped tooth […]
