Back Home again Tuesday evening

Hi Readers,
Just got back from the annual cookie exchange with the Red Hatters at Windsor Gardens. The piano player (yes, Emily, he is the same man who plays organ at St. Joe) played Christmas songs on the baby grand while Bobbie, Emma, Rita and I serenaded the rest of the group with carols. The gingerbread men looked great but I know that they must taste like cardboard as long as I had to keep them in a warm oven for the icing to dry hard enough to transport them. I came home with at least 3 dozen cookies that I'm sure are better tasting than the ones I took but not so labor intensive. Edible though they may be. Ky is playing basketball on tv so I took time to load a photo of myself taken last year at Graceland. I will try to get to the flickr site tomorrow morning and upload the latest vacation photos we have. They haven't even been downloaded to the computer yet and we have been home over three weeks. I would make a lousy scrapbooker... I am reading "King Dork" by Frank Portman now and am impressed. The main character talks about "The Catcher in the Rye" a lot and I think this book is better than Salinger's. Of course I'm only 1/3 of the way through it. This is one of the best YA books I have run across. So, instead of reading my own pitiful musings I think I will go back to the book while the game is on. Ya'll take care. Carol

Sunday morning coming down

So I got my little skeleton man posted yesterday. I think he is a cutie pie. Today the avatar. I played with it yesterday but there are just so many choices. The library party went well. Mordecai's restaurant in Springfield of all places. Good food, decent price. Nice decor. We'll go back. Worked yesterday then went to Actor's Theater to see "The Chosen". They did a decent job. I read the book several years ago and had basicly forgotten the story but remembered once the baseball game started. They had a narrator, a grown version of one of the characters coming in and out. I don't know how they could have done the book as a play without him. The Jews and Israel. I suppose we'll understand it all bye & bye.

Friday, first day of Dewinter

Gee Whiz did you guys read Shannon's blog? What a nightmare. I'm in the process of viewing podcasts to choose one to put on this blog. It takes a long time for those things to load so I decided I would write a bit while Dave Chapelle is loading. Probably won't be the one to add, he can be a little coarse but I think he is halarious. I watched the one of Kramer making an ass of himself...you can almost see him thinking he's going to recover and everyone will somehow lighten up. He crossed the line though. Ok, that was fast...what they actually have there is a teaser for you to buy the video for 1.99. Lesson learned. Now I'm waiting for Tim Conway and Harvey Corman. Those guys are funny too and I hope this one is doable. I still have another task to do once this one is done. Ok, that was just too serious...and long...it even had commercials. I don't think that will work. Ron wants to play ping pong and I want him to see the Wierd Al Yankovic thing Emily had on her blog so I guess after that I will have to start getting ready for the Library party. So I'll hve to continue this in the morning. Later...
