Auntie Erin visits SLC

My Dad's sister Erin has been spending some time with us as she heads north for the summer. She's been here (SLC) for over 2 1/2 weeks. We have enjoyed her visit and learned lots of things abt our Dad from her perspective. She the bossy older sister now and we love her for it. She's been recouping from a broken rib and her recovery has been speedy. She still suffers from the effects of it, but can easily get up and down out of a chair now. One thing she became aware of on this visit is airplants - Tillandsia by name. She has been photographing them, rearranging them and nurturing them for over a week. I am glad someone else likes them like I do. She leaves for the next leg of her adventure - Springfield, OR to see if Jerome can handle being around her for a length of time. Then it's off to Seattle for the summer. Thanks for the memories.

Coming out of Time Out

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've posted anything on here. Today was just a horrible day. Tempers were flaring, attitudes were crappy and people were putting themselves in timeout just to be out of the way of unkind, unneccessary ugly words that weren't really meant to be said. Have you ever had a day like that? It all started when it was in the 60's overnight and I didn't get a good night sleep. Then, I got to work toooooo early. When I got there no one knew I should be there. Then the job I was supposed to do didn't go smoothly and took much longer than it should have. The atmosphere is changing and that is part of my problem. Things startled Walt and now he's in time out. I knew something abt how to do something on the computer and didn't think it necessary at the time to tell C and she got pissy abt that and ran off the deal with that. Louie is having troubles with his legs and it's hard for him to get around. And to top it off, Jay Leno isn't going to be on tonight - it's going to be a rerun. I guess he couldn't help it that he got food poisoning and doesn't feel well. It is amazing how things and attitudes can change in an instant. So, to all my friends and family... I love you and I am thankful we are all made the same - with emotions and thought - good and not so good.
Thanks for being there for me when I need you.
