By the time I got all the work-arounds figured out and
yesterday's entry posted, it was 2 a.m. and I was sweating. I took a
shower and then collapsed on the couch and slept until 7.
Joe was going out to help a friend saw logs out of an old
felled tree, Alice Nan cooked breakfast for the rest of us and we kind of
lazed around until 11, when time to go to Bri's soccer game. I didn't get to
see her play last season, though Walt did.
Her team is the Pink Panthers and they are all 7 or 8 years
old, though Bri is by far the smallest on the team. But she's fierce,
fast, and nimble. Last week she made 3 goals, though this week her
team lost 2-0.
While the game was going on, Lacie and I sat and she told me
(several times) about her birthday party tomorrow. "Wanna talk about
my birthday party some more?" she would ask.
When the game was over, we returned to our respective
residences. I took nap; Walt looked through some old letters and other
documents his mother had saved (including part of a biography Jeri wrote
when she was 9).
At 4 Tom called and we went to his house for an afternoon
watching the girls play. I decided Lacie is learning how to be a
street person, as she carries all her valuables around in a shopping cart.
While she was doing that, Tom and Bri were fixing a hole in
her bike tire.
Then, unbelievably even to me, I went in and watched the new
movie of Annie, which has become a favorite of the girls.
(People who know me well will understand why this is
"unbelievable.")
After a nice dinner, the girls went in to take a bath and I
sat and watched Laurel start frosting what will be a Nemo fantasy for the
party tomorrow.
The girls are all turned on about the party and I decided that having
grandparents added to the mix was the last thing Tom and Laurel
needed when they were trying to calm things down and get the girls to bed,
so we came on home.
Now to see if all my work yesterday paid off for an easy, trouble-free
upload again tonight. If you are reading this, then I guess it did.
