Well, you know you love me!
Life has been busy around the Morgan household. The sad news - we're now on dial-up again. So I have to wait til later at night if I want to tie up the phone line. The good news - less time on line and more time to do what actually needs to be done.
The bad news - the basement was a mess. The good news - we've cleaned alot out because the mother-in-law was going to move in. The bad news - she may not be moving in now so no wonderful homecooked meals when I get home. The good news - she'll get to stay in her little house in the country with her flowers and deer.
The bad news - I didn't take a picture of the blue jean quilt that turned out so cute. The good news - it raised $210 at the auction. The bad news - I didn't really make it myself.
Okay, the bad news/good news thing is getting a little old. I did ask for a volunteer at school to sew the jean squares together and the mother of one of my students agreed to. She actually said she made a lot of blue jean quilts, so she volunteered to put the whole thing together.
I think I will do one of those circle jean quilts starting this summer - since we found the sewing machine while we were cleaning the basement. I think the power cord is gone - but we can get a new one I'm sure.
There are only 10 more days left of school - that's hard to believe. This is the first year I am not going to be teaching summer school. I'm going to line up some tutoring jobs.
I am also going to take a two-week road trip by myself. I'm going to visit my cousin in Kansas for her 50th birthday. I will be swinging south into Tennessee and going out that way. It should be a blast. I think I will really enjoy the solitude.
Well, I think that's the big news for now. D., the oldest son, has a job now and likes it. I bought a new litter box tonight for the cats.
Have a great day!

Ay yes, I remember dialup. The more you tie up the phone line, the more you keep the kids out of trouble. I mean the less interruptions you will have from the girls.
I am pouting because you promised a picture of the blue jean quilt and you didn't show it. I'm glad it turned out well and it raised good money for the auction. How big did it turn out to be?
Since you are now a pro at cleaning basements, you can swing by here on your way to Kansas, and clean mine.
I want to see a picture of that quilt, too! Boo-hoo. I'm happy it raised so much money, that's great. Ah... dial-up, I can definitely see the advantages of not having instant access to the internet, particularly with kids at home. My daughter, a teacher too, is counting down the days 'til summer... ;)
