The Brewers are playing awfully so I'm going to talk to you all instead.

There is so much to talk about so I'm having a bit of trouble actually coming up with one main thought so this is going to be rambling instead..hope you don't mind but it's all i can offer at the moment.

Lil' sis got a dress for senior banquet today. Hard to believe that her first year was my last, and not this is her last. Meaning I've been graduated from High School for three years. So weird...I sometimes think that I feel just as naive as I did when I was 14 and starting High School. But now my naivete is tempered with experience. Strange sentence...moving on....


Guess what I did today?
I shut myself up in a display case and taped black paper on the inside!! and then I arranged some Military related mentoes of WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.... I felt very artistic and ingenuous at the end of the day.
Today was a good day at work. Nothing hectic happened and work was actually accomplished. I was given a new assignment...cause I finished up my old one (I made a map of Downtown P-ville with a guide as to where Restaurants and shopping and main areas of attraction are. That was fun)

so this new assigment, Kathy gave me a paper that was originally written in 1958 or there abouts. And it's full of information, facts about P-ville. That are 50 yrs old. They make a point of saying that it has a MODERN sewage and water systems. The Police department has two-way radios! The two colleges in town...aren't in town anymore :) There's a lot more people, more churches, more banks, the town is larger. But it's still the same in some ways.... The ATTITUDE of the town is described as "the citizens are friendly and willing to help. You are never a stranger for long"....I like my town....

I went to Wal-mart this afternoon....and as i was waiting to check out I noticed the Farmers' Almanc . Have you seen one recently? Front Page says this:
well I went looking for an image of the front page but I couldn't find the right one maybe it wasn't the Almanc, I'm not sure now but..so I'll just have to tell you what it said... FARMERS' ALMANC, The year of our Lord 2009.

Isn't that great??? I love old traditional wording like that :) Reminds me of the Scarlet Pimpernel :)


We've been watching Little Dorritt as it airs on the PBS channel every Sunday. This Sunday was the third episode and there are two more. It's very captivating at the moment, and I'm very worried about a few of the characters. The heroine is an interesting character or I think I mean her CIRCUMSTANCES are. She is born in a debtor's prison. And it would take too long to explain the whole thing here so I will spare you all the details and the spoiling of the story should you ever wish to watch it. I've already pre-ordered it from Amazon. It's worth it. I think it and sense & sensibility BBC are my two new favorite movies...


Well now it's late...and I'm tired. Waking up at 6:30 is not my idea of....wellllll I won't go there. good attitude and all that.


Anyone read any good books recently? The O'malley Series by Dee Henderson is my latest best books find. I added them to my collection...which is starting to out grow the bookshelf and a half I have it on.

Well, there you go. A post. Comment if you can make sense of me....I'm wondering if keeping this up is worth the occasional posts you can get out of me...and I'm so pressed for time I really can't give it the thought I think it should have. So if you think rambling is ok, I'll do it. I haven't the brain power to make logical, consice sentances at the moment...

Rachael and I were discussing the other day how old we feel. We graduated 6 years ago...

P-ville is a great town and you don't feel like a stranger for long. Everyone is so nice and friendly!
