Well, did you miss me? I haven‘t blogged since last July. That’s because I really don’t like to sit in front of a computer for any length of time, and since I retired a year ago, I don’t do it. My accounting has slipped, my emails pile up, and I haven’t done some PC projects for the convention. Other than that, I love being retired! Haven’t ( Read more... ) -

Haven't posted in weeks! I drove to Raleigh on Tuesday the 30th and Grace & I went to the Rolling Stones concert. We walked from her apartment to the stadium - that was a long hike! Good concert, I'd never seen them. We discovered a cheap movie theater on the way that shows first-run movies and went to that the next day, then ate at a Chinese ( Read more... ) -

All this week and for the next forseeable future, the weather is hazy, hot, and humid with chance of afternoon storms; so I don't expect to do much yard work. Monday I tackled the desk. It's near the front door so everything lands on it when I come in. It was piled up about 2 feet deep with papers and clutter, so I got all that off. I found the ( Read more... ) -

Friday, I de-cluttered the pantry. Hooray, another room is done! Friday evening I drove out to Bonsack to meet my future cat. Carolyn L has a big beautiful house all to herself, although her son is there for the summer. We sat and visited a long time, then I went to the store. I had on my new Rush T-shirt and two different guys stopped and ( Read more... ) -

Monday, Amitai & Jonah & I hung around the house and they took me to meet Rebecca at work, just as the rain started. We ate at Panera and I saw several people wearing Rush T-shirts. I wore an old one of mine that had been in drawers for about 30 years. R & I went to the Rush concert at the arena downtown and there was some confusion about what was ( Read more... ) -

Saturday, R & J & I went yard-saling. J got some water pistols and I got two coffee urns for the con suite and a few potential auction items. We went to a park that has a reproduction farm house from the 1930s with real antiques in it. They were displaying antique tractors that day. R & A went out to a tequila-tasting party and I stayed with Jonah ( Read more... ) -

Thursday I drove to Columbus, OH to visit my niece & family. It was a lovely trip and went fine until my tire blew out very suddenly on the beltway around the city. That was scary! I was only two exits away from their exit. AAA came and changed to the donut tire, which needed inflating anyway. Jonah let me in and I chatted with Amitai awhile ( Read more... ) -
Last weekend, Melissa & Keith & I went to ConCarolinas at their new hotel in Charlotte. They had Michael Hogan who played Colonel Tigh on Battlestar Galactica. They also had Judith O'Dea who played Barbara in Night of the Living Dead. I got a picture with her! I attended the auction Saturday afternoon and did whatever I could to help.

Friday I dropped Lois off for a doctor appointment and hit a few yard sales. We ate lunch at Red Palace, then watched one Dexter. Purrvis went outside with my escort and could only walk a few feet before crouching like a Sphinx to rest. Saturday Lo came over for breakfast and we went yard saling again. I found a Tin Man cloth doll, I thought he ( Read more... )
