Partly Cloudy Parly Sunny

July 21st, 2009

I have never understood the difference between partly sunny and partly cloudy.  That is the kind of day we have had today.  This morning when I got up it was partly cloudy.  Then in the afternoon it was partly sunny.  Now as it nears evening it is partly cloudy again.  Needless to say we have [...]

It Finally Happened

July 20th, 2009

This afternoon I was at Wal-Mart to pick up some groceries and decided to go back to the fabric department to see if my friend was working.  To say I was surprised is putting it mildly.  The fabric department was GONE, well almost gone at least.  There were about twenty-five partial bolts of fabric marked [...]

Another Week Begins

July 19th, 2009

I have been wondering about the time difference between Louisiana and Cambodia so I finally searched for a time zone map with Google and learned that Cambodia is twelve hours ahead of Louisiana.  When I read Scott’s post that was dated today he said they were going to a nearby village Monday and would be [...]

I Cooked Today

July 18th, 2009

I actually did something today that I have not done in ages.  I COOKED.  I made breakfast pizza that I eat as much for lunch or supper as I do for breakfast.  With all the stuff on the pizza it is a complete meal.  I also made a peach cobbler.  Brian told me that he [...]

What A Day

July 17th, 2009

When I woke up this morning I had an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach.  All day long I have felt that if I half tried I could end up in tears.  I know it sounds weird but it seems that every year about a week before the anniversary of Don’s death I [...]

Finally Did It

July 16th, 2009

Today I decided that it was time to cancel my membership at Curves.  I cannot remember the last time I went, it might have even been before Christmas, 2008.  Unfortunately it takes thirty days to go through so will have to pay the August fee but then I will be free of it.  I have [...]

Middle Of The Week

July 15th, 2009

Everywhere one looks there are crepe myrtle bushes blooming in several shade of pink.  Every so often a red or purple one will be seen.  My two large bushes are not blooming yet and the three small ones in the back yard are also without blooms.  However, the small two year old bush in the [...]

Scott Arrived In Cambodia

July 14th, 2009

This morning when I got up I went to the computer to check to see if the group had arrived in Cambodia and I could not connect to the Internet.  So, since I really wanted to know and also had books to return, I took off for the Jonesboro Library.  When I was online I [...]

Geography Lesson

July 13th, 2009

Tonight I decided to look at world maps on Google.  I was mainly interested in Cambodia and surrounding countries.  I had a real geography lesson.  I know fifty plus years ago when I was in school that I knew where all the countries in the world were located but tonight I realized how much I [...]

He’s Leaving On A Jet Plane

July 12th, 2009

In an hour Scott will be on a big bird winging his way across America to LAX.  I do not know where the next leg of the journey will take him.  I know when he returned from Cambodia last time he had a stop in Hong Kong so they may fly from LA to Hong [...]
