'Kate I've mostly been working in the yard and gardens. It's not that I have a honkin big piece of property, but after 7 years I spent alot of time moving and splitting perrenials and redesigning some of the landscaping. We had a fence put up last year, all sides but one which was the next door neighbours chain link fence. That is coming down in a week or so to finish the fence up. In the mean time, I've been staining the part that's cured over the last year. Hangin out with the dog, feed my boys, doing home body stuff. Those are my days. Trying to live vicariously through the active lives of the people here is really not fullfulling......will y'all pick up the pace or something? Lisa |

"'Kate" I do! wrote in message What'ca all doing? Still trying to sort this computer to both post and read posts. Freddie still at school till the end of June then he is off to my sisters in London for a week. We plan to go to Croatia and/or Slovenia later in the summer. Eldest son back from his travels in Oz, India and Africa (a four month trip) and middle son just about to leave Italy for wherever his nose takes him. Major works on my house ATM to try and get it finished off. I have been living in a building site for far too long. Salsa lessons are a hoot! They have also kept my weight down since I stopped smoking (again) just before the ban here in Ireland. The ban applies to any place of work which includes my firms van and as I spend a lot of time in it I decided to get in early. Also a new non smoking female friend! [[[Hi Brightlight!]]] Dennis |

Trying to live vicariously through the active lives of the people here is really not fullfulling......will y'all pick up the pace or something? Not enough drama, eh? My days are similar to yours for the first time ever. We planted an herb garden outside the kitchen door, turned over some soil in the only sunny patch left in the yard and planted lots of veggies, including 7 varieties of tomato and jalapeno peppers. Also tearing down horrid wallpaper and painting with the "oops paint" that's $5.00 a gallon at Home Depot. My boys finish school at the end of June. We're going on a week-long meditation retreat right after school, then they'll do some summer school and some camp stuff, but mostly be looked after by the our 15-year-old neighbor while I'm at work. Crossing my fingers and hoping this quiet lasts. :-) How're the wedding plans coming along -- are you going to post pics somewhere? lm |

'Kate My daughter is still in school, until Tuesday. Things have been going ok, working and all that fun stuff. She hasn't shown any major signs of grieving yet though she did flunk a science test. She said she didn't study. Luckily her end grade will be a C and the final grade a B. We are heading to FL in a few weeks for fun and sun with her Grandmother. I can't wait as I haven't managed a vacation in 2 years. Last year we had one planned then had to cancel when my Grandmother passed away. This weekend we are going to the beach also but that is not all fun. My father has some places down there and we go clean and work on them once a year. Funny, that is the only time I go down there any more. All the work took the fun away. Any plans this summer? T |

... My kiddos are out for summer break but we're all taking those summer classes and start back next week. I've spent the last two weeks doing the heavy cleaning and organizing/throwing junk out or donating it if it's not quite junk yet. Yeah I tend to work that way too. Much prefer to donate stuff than throw it out and, unless it's worth a lot, it's too much hassle to sell it. What'ca all doing? Still working ATM and will be for at least another six weeks. Odd that we're so far out of sync with you guys. Our Summer break is supposed to coincide with harvest time so the kids could help out on their parents' farms but it seems rather early to me. -- Paul Griffiths |

No job lined up for next year yet, but I'll deal with that when I come to it. Should be postings over the summer. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I'm still not sure what this is for so if you get the chance can you please update me, via email perhaps. ATM I have a sinus infection. Got some antibiotics this afternoon. Poor you, not nice at all, I can sympathise. On Monday and Tuesday I'm going on a Writer's Symposium and I'm very excited about that. Sounds like fun. How did Monday work out? Tomorrow I plan to sleep and sleep and get healthy. And did you? -- Paul Griffiths |

... "'Kate" I do! Me too. I didn't notice this, thanks Dennis. wrote in message What'ca all doing? Still trying to sort this computer to both post and read posts. Computers are great fun aren't they? Freddie still at school till the end of June then he is off to my sisters in London for a week. Gawd, we certainly seem to get the rough end of this Summer holiday deal. It's more like the end of July before we finish. Needless to say the kids aren't exactly keen to work in the temperatures we're getting right now. 100+ today in some places, I believe. We plan to go to Croatia and/or Slovenia later in the summer. Nice. Eldest son back from his travels in Oz, India and Africa (a four month trip) and middle son just about to leave Italy for wherever his nose takes him. I'm jealous. Major works on my house ATM to try and get it finished off. I have been living in a building site for far too long. Ah, time for sympathy again. I done this once too often myself. No fun at all. Salsa lessons are a hoot! They have also kept my weight down since I stopped smoking (again) just before the ban here in Ireland. The ban applies to any place of work which includes my firms van and as I spend a lot of time in it I decided to get in early. Also a new non smoking female friend! It's no bad thing whatever the motivation. Now I'm jealous again. ;-) [[[Hi Brightlight!]]] Hi from me too. -- Paul Griffiths |
