Before & After

I painted another room last week. It was my favorite project so far and I can't wait for it to be really finished when Kyle gets home and puts up the chair rail and crown molding. Anyway, I also finally organized some digital shots from when we moved in and the ones I've kept taking as I updated the house. So for those of you who haven't seen it in a while, or ever, now you can see how far our little home has come!

Update

The weather was the worst of yesterday - nearly got taken out on 435 by a Ford 150 swearving back and forth in front of me! Got home about 2pm and took it easy for the rest of the day - as it was, the doctor did less cutting than originally intended, so I had fewer stitches, and am already on the mend. Sorry about those who didn't know - I know I talked to several of you about it at Thanksgiving...but I didn't call a "family meeting" so it's possible you missed it. Or, of course the other possibility is that I said it and you weren't listening to me ...that wouldn't be a first for any of you either! Love you so, Mother S

High Winds

Early this morning we had ferocious winds...and I heard a cuthunk nearby, but it didn't sound like it was in the house. I went to investigate and the house was fine. Then thought perhaps it was a limb fallen onto the hot tub...started out on the screened in porch to see how the hot tub was - only to see the gas grill and both propane tanks blown over and strewn across the porch! No clue yet how to get the thing upright yet, but I'll manage.
Weather permitting, I'll still have a minor surgery procedure tomorrow - Sandy is taking me up to Leavenworth, and I'll be home in the afternoon, with movies to watch. Friday I'll be in Manhattan with Sean, staying with Connie and Ron, Saturday after graduation and lunch, I'll head home again. Mother Superior

High Winds

Last night I went downtown to the Hotel Phillips and met up with Mary Ann Moore for a glass of wine and a great chat. She was in town doing a seminar for a company and was able to squeeze me in between the last session and a business dinner. She looks great, seems happy and loved all the news about all of you - hopefully this outfit will invite her back so we can visit again on someone else's nickel.

so does blogging replace phonecalls on birthdays? cause that is neat.

I remember a quarter of a century ago, heading out to find just the right Christmas tree for our home in Monterey, CA...Dad and I walked with Brian, Blair, Lindsay and little Kevin through rows of trees to find just the perfect one. With the tree standing against the house, a fire in the fireplace and nearly everyone happy, I hopped into the old footed bathtub for a relaxing bath after such an adventure. Within the hour, Dad and I were racing to the Ft. Ord Hospital...Kyle wanted to be part of Christmas that year and didn't want to miss a thing. With two of the most happy and breathless parents , he arrived before the doctor had both gloves on...and it's been that way ever since. It's been a fast ride these last 25 years too, but it has been wonderful. You are a wonderful man, Kyle - son, brother, uncle, cousin, husband and soldier - I love you dearly honey and am very proud of you. Mass was for you and your Dad today - stay safe and come home soon. Loveyoumissyoumost, Mother Superior

Fünf turns twenty-five

Happy birthday! Hope you find some special roadkill for a delicious birthday dinner :)

There once was a boy named Kyle
Who I hadn't heard from in a while
I just wanted to say
Happy birthday
So get in line for the phone or the computer and call me already cuz I miss you and want to sing happy birthday song to you before it's not your birthday anymore.

So...

So it is dead week. And I feel like doing nothing. Mainly because I graduate in one week, but also because I got a 93 on my last physics test, so now all i need is a 87 out of 200 to keep my B. That was a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. PLUS my Business Ethics course, the final was switched from 4:30 on Friday of finals week ( The worst time in the WORLD for a final), to online and submit before friday. Plus my other two physiology courses I don't have to take the written final because I rocked all semester and just have to do the skills test. I think we all know I have got mad skills. SO what could have been the worst 2 weeks of the semester, all of a sudden are no big deal. Six out.
