13 hours in airports, including a lovely 6-hour delay in Philly…
~Thursday~ From the very beginning of today, it was hard to believe that our flights from Providence to Philadelphia and Philadelphia to Raleigh were still both on. I checked again this morning online. This huge winter storm system from the past couple of days has reeked havoc across the northeast. Mom, Dad, and enjoyed the … Read more
Aunt Annette’s funeral…
~Wednesday~ My wake-up call came at 6:00 only because my mom asked me to wake her up then. Personally, my alarm was set for 7:00. I went to our adjoining doors and called to her long enough to get a response and to be sure she was awake, and I lay back down. I never … Read more
Day 2 in Virginia Beach…
~Sunday~ I forgot to capture this from yesterday. It’s from a follow-up e-mail from my uncle, from which I wanted to capture a few more affirmations: Writer you are, I would be on the computer 24 hours if I wrote all the things you write about. You do one hell of a job… I will … Read more
Weekend getaway with Joe to Virginia Beach…
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30, and I made coffee and had a bagel along with a hard-boiled egg minus the yolk. Checking my e-mail, I was surprised and delighted to receive a note from my uncle in Florida, who had received my Christmas card and letter. It had a lot of affirmations in it, … Read more
Christmas in Greenville, a grueling ride home, a nap, some Scrabble, and blogging…
~Friday, Christmas Day~ Happy Holidays, dear readers! Thanks for dropping in during the year. I appreciate you! I headed out to Greenville at just after 9:00. Robert had to work today, so I traveled solo in overcast weather, but in light traffic. There were a couple of cops on the road, with at least one … Read more
Irene arrives, a trip to a haunted restaurant, and line-dancing and two-stepping…
~Wednesday~ I took the Wolfline bus in this morning, as I needed to leave work at lunch time and the time interval between Wolfline buses is much smaller (every 10 minutes or so) than between city buses (every hour) during the time when I’d be needing my ride home. The bus was not very crowded, … Read more
Thanksgiving, 2009
~Thursday, Thanksgiving Day~ I’d love to have the job of the person who gets to manipulate the art in Google’s logo for various occasions. Today’s was: See the archive of the logo art if you’re interested/curious. Robert arrived around 9:00 and shortly thereafter, we headed to Greenville. We checked in from Wilson to let Vivian … Read more
Vivian’s induction into the Educators Hall of Fame, a 4-hour talk with nappy, and some dancing…
~Saturday~ I was up at 6:45, and with Robert’s arrival at just after 7:30, we headed to Greenville, NC, which is about an hour-and-a-half ride. We arrived at my sister and her husband’s place at just a little after 9:00, where we joined them and my parents for a few minutes before heading over to … Read more
Nuts-to-butts, an outrageously wasteful stir stick, and a business trip to Greensboro…
~Thursday~ Another morning on the Wolfline bus instead of the city bus, and another N-2-B situation. I listened to my iPod on the ride in. At first I put on Macy Gray, but finding her a little too edgy for morning music (I am not a morning person), I switched over to the melodious Norah … Read more
