What’s Going On
I’m feeling brief, and since there’s been such a while since I updated, I’ll just make a list.
1. We just got back from a wonderful time of camping. The weather was in the mid-70s and perfect! We rented a pontoon boat and cruised around Glendale Lake. Of course, I had delayed-reaction seasickness and felt like I was still on the boat for hours afterward.
2. I broke several toes. Yes, Mrs. Grace N. Poise did it again. This time, it was late Wednesday night and I flicked off the light to go upstairs to bed. WHACK! My left foot made significant contact with the huge Rubbermaid of towels, etc. waiting to go camping. Ow and owie, ow, ow! I have some impressive bruises, and I’m still limping.
3. My mom won the Service Above Self Award. This used to be called the Rotary Citizen of the Year. It’s given to the person in Curwensville who knocks himself or herself out serving others in all sorts of ways (for years, not just for that one year). However, for the first time ever, the recipient was not at the award ceremony. She’s off at the beach with a friend!
4. Rachel learned to ride her bike without training wheels. We’ve had the training wheels off three different times, but this time it is for real! It was just perfect at camp because we had the road to the bath house right next to our tent site, a wonderful place to practice.
I’m sure there are dozens of other things to say, but I’ll close for now.

I have one of those moms too. (I guess that explains a lot about US doesn’t it?
)
Congrats to her and bravo for taking time off at the beach.
Hugs!
What do you mean “readable!?”
I can still read my posts very well, thank you.
So are we going to clean the house like mad things today?

Ouch about the toes. That’s not going to help you run to Linda’s and back is it? How’s that going by the way…just thought I’d check since we’re halfway through the year! Congratulations to your mom AND Rachel! How fun!
Oh man, I’m sorry! That’s no fun! Well, I’m glad you had fun camping!
Wow, I’m sorry that you hurt your toes. But congratulations to Rachel!!
Ouch! Hope that the toes are healing quickly!
So sorry to hear about your toes- ouch! I know from experience they take awhile to heal! Just use it as an opportunity for the kids to wait on you;)My numbers are due to being born in 1957 and my birthday is March 8. So now you know how old I am– scary!!
hehehehe Thanks, that made me laugh!;) It’s nothing too bad really, just earlier this morning I had a harp lesson with a woman who is apparently known worldwide for her playing, and by the time it was over I was slightly disheartened….Feeling better now though. It was just a passing thing. Besides, not everyone can be a virtuoso!;)
That is great news! Thanks for letting me know. Hope those toes are feeling a bit better today. If I know you, nothing will keep you down!
