  • Disaster

    Standing in line at the airport,Gary said, “&%@&! I forgot my passport!”I checked the message board online and I only read the words I wanted to read… I didn’t click a certain link, so I didn’t see you had to have a passort AND an original birth certificate.So Gary and I are both culpable, only…

  • UPDATED: Fight Update

    No fight yet. Odd. He says we fought when he discovered he forgot the camera (so, sucky iPhone photos for you all) but he must have imagined it. I was utterly peaceful.UPDATE: And yes, this is foreshadowing.

  • I Am Off!

    Of course, I still haven’t packed, but the flight isn’t till 3 tomorrow. Lalala! It’s 1:30 am and Gary is still up bagging Cones of Food for Mac. Tomorrow I have nothing to do but … pack. And drop off the dog and do some sewing and buy shoes. I predict, based on 20+ years…

    You might remember, a few months back Gary watched The Break-up and

  • Tea Photos

    Group photo! Click it! At this year’s tea … We had too much food, again, shown by this “After” photo… Good visits with old friends … The Other Ellen and John… …Colin and Lea… from left: Hot Mom, Molly (Heathen spawn of H.M.), Colin’s wife Mary Ellen, and Lea again. Yes, there are a lot…

  • Tea ’09

    Ooooof, am I tired. Tea is over. More later with photos. This is what stays with me: Libby said, “Is that Cream of Broccoli soup?” and when I said yes, grunted just a little. Marcia may have hyped the splendor of my Cream of Broccoli as well. So, I was surprised later to see only…
