Tough Day

Well, our tough day started at 12:30am this morning. Haley came into our room and told me that she had been throwing up. Oh yea! Poor thing, we knew she didn't feel extra good when she went to bed. She slept awhile but her stomach had other things in mind. She felt really good after that inital bout and I thought I might be in luck and that something had worked its way through her system. So I put us both back to bed, but at 3:00 I was awakened again by a very sick little girl. I got up and put her on the couch after that episode and kept my eye on her until morning. She was up and down several times, poor thing. The worst was that with each trip to the bathroom it became more certain that she would not be able to go to her last day of school. Her last day of the fifth grade. They were doing fun things too. She cried. A lot.

About 8:00 I put her back to bed and she slept until 11:00. She has been quiet on the couch all day. She has had nothing but water and has had a 101 fever. About 7:00 this morning she gave up all hope of going to school for a hope of just feeling a little better.

Her temp is down, for now, and she is holding down water, but doesn't want anything else. About 2:45 her friend Jessica surprised her by walking all the rest of her things home for her. She came in and said hello for a minute. It was very nice, as they live in the opposite direction of the school.

It's hard to greet summer when you are under the weather, as our friend Claire knows well too! So sorry you missed camp for strept throat! We understand.

Weekend Treasure

  Here are some stock photos of the love seat, chair and ottoman we purchased on Saturday at the auction.  These pictures don't really do the set justice.  But we have determined that the retail price for these now discontinued pieces was $1899.  We topped out our auction at $500.00, so after sales tax and the 15% auction fee, we did pretty well.. paying approximately 1/3 of retail. As an added bonus, they were sold to us as "durahide" which means fake.  Frank and I used to say that Nogahide should have been named NOTaHide.  But after looking them up, they are 60% leather.. the parts that don't matter -the back, are not.  BONUS!  They are now all safely home and put away... where you say?  Where could you possibly have put all these lovely pieces of furniture? Oh, I forgot to mention that they are for the cabin.  The hope is that mice will be thoroughly repelled by the very idea of gnawing on cowhide.  And besides that, they ...

A Super Bowl Love Story

In late August 1996, I attended a bridal shower tea for my sister in law to be, Melanie Hull.  Her Aunt Shirley had created a beautiful party out on the back lawn, flowers and china and everyone in girly dresses. But most lovely of all was Melanie. I fell in love with her dress. It was my dream dress. Floral print. Georgette. Flowy. Bell/Cape Sleeve. Tea Length. Perfect Tea dress. I “pinned” it in my mind. That’s what we had to do back then. I knew that if I ever married – and hopefully that dashing Frank – that was the dress I wanted for my bridesmaids.  Furthermore… I had always hoped that if I could, I would provide the dresses for my bridesmaids. I had been in a couple of weddings and the expense was always difficult. It seemed like kind of a boobie prize to me. Hey, my dearest friends in the world, please be in my wedding so I can shove you over the precipice and into debt. Oh and make sure you check out my bridal registry! In January 1997, I was pretty h...

13 years old!!

Haley enjoying a DVD of her new makeup and her birthday jammies and her new Kirsten doll. Oh where does the time go?  13 years old today! The birthday fun really began last night.  We went to Marie Calendars, just she and I and had the burger meal deal - comes with pie.  Then she discovered that she could have a free piece of pie for her birthday so they gave her another piece to take home.  Then we went to Color me Mine to work on a ceramic piece for Daddy for Christmas.  There we discovered that she didn't have to pay the studio fee on her birthday.  Another surprise.  We spent the whole evening until closing there painting and having a nice time.  Frank got home about 10:15 and Haley opened the first of her presents.  A new pair of yummy warm jammies.  Frank and I had the fun of purchasing these together.  He discovered them first at TJ Maxx and thought they looked like his lit...
