I am actually off my back, first time since Saturday night. Whew!

This heat can be bad. I was invited to sit in at an open jam session, out in Greenwood Park. It was an amphitheater, very well shaded, and excepting for a few hours, we were out of the sun. We played straight through from two P.M. to nine o'clock. Those few hours got me good. It tok me nearly two... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOGGERS ARE READING IN LARGE QUANTITIES...ARE YOU?

I cried out, "AVIRA KADAVIRA!" and one little girl jumped and shrieked! I put my little darlings in a large group circle this morning at 7:40 A.M. I instructed them that I was about to read to them two scenes, two of my favorite scenes, from the last Harry Potter book, The Half-blood Prince. They... Sign in to see full entry.

One Blogger Who Doesn't Want to Be Left Out................................

I guess I've never told the story of how my older daughter returned to live with us. She's a normal kid. Very academic, driven and sees the horizon a lot differently than I ever did at seventeen. I credit her mother. Well, after the 9-11, my younger daughter had been pestering her mother to let her... Sign in to see full entry.

My Favorite BLOGGERS.......................................................

Just back from a week in Austin, the entire tribe has returned to the old homestead for a family reunion. There is not one spare minute, and they are dissatisfied that my kids are working and I'm trucking them back and forth. I pray we have at least one afternoon or evening together. It makes you...

Number One Blogger Turns Out Not Being Last................................

My friend sent me a lovely picture taken at the reunion last Sunday night. I am working with it now trying to get it into the same form as will be accepted by this program (Blogit). Until then, I suppose I will have to write about it. My brother was visiting his kids and grandkids in Austin. We were... Sign in to see full entry.

For These Bloggers Chickens Have Come Home to Roost.......................

We are back. The trip is a success. We have returned on time for the eldest daughter to have a ten-hour sleep and then go to her job as a CNA at a health care facility for brain-damaged adults. Big brother John has had three glorious days in the loving arms of his children and grandchildren, in... Sign in to see full entry.

Three things you can count on being a BLOGGER......................

Staying in a Holiday Inn Express will certainly turn you into a superhero. I did not believe the advertisements to that effect, but it is very true. The last few days have been truly magical. The remarkable weather, the indigenous population, and the slowed holiday pace, all change you. Yesterday,... Sign in to see full entry.

Serenity is easy when you are on vacation.............................

But it is easy to lose. All it takes is a cross word from someone, one of the group needing special treatment, or a disagreement about how time is spent. I am moderator for our traveling group, and as such, must invoke a globalist and compasionate attitude. Fortunately, my kids like the same stuff,... Sign in to see full entry.

!0 THINGS BLOGGERS MUST DO............................

OMG! WOW! What a day! Road trip! Here's our top ten activities of the day. 1. Wake up early in a nice motel in Oklahoma, make coffee, take a hot shower with shower head shooting bullets of hot water. 2. Have breakfast in the motel lounge/breakfast bar, waffles, OJ, cereal, milk and fruit. More... Sign in to see full entry.

This Blogger Has Finally Done It - Left Home....

The act of trying qualifies you for a vacation in this meritocracy. I am traveling with my kids. We left mid-afternoon, after cleaning the house and clipping the yard, and have made it to Oklahoma City. We are in a hotel room, across from a fabulous WAFFlLE HOUSE where we had steak and eggs. Cannot... Sign in to see full entry.
