Condolences to DR MATTHEW on the loss of his grandmother and to the co-worker of DR GEORGE.
And the word of the day is: HEGIRA!
I should have fudge for breakfast.
One more day of Vacation Bible School. Then the parents' thing tonight. I have no idea what I am supposed to do for that.
Is what BK got really a comforter. Or is it a duvet? I've never heard of a comforter that you put in a cover.
And the word of the day is: HEGIRA!
A mama robin keeps visiting the stump of the tree that's just been removed from our yard. I hope her nest wasn't in the high branches :'(
Jennifer, I'm not sure I could behave at a four-hour preschool graduation.

Maybe she just likes sitting on the stump

I like your reasoning. :)
Pogue, I posted yesterday that the package had indeed arrived, and in fact I am rustling up some dogs right now.
Jennifer, I'm not sure I could behave at a four-hour preschool graduation.
I hope you have fun and that both little niece and graduating niece behave.
HWHC told me he's going to be doing some plumbing work on one of his restoration projects this weekend....pumbing you say??? I happen to need to have a little repair in the basement bathroom before the big hoard of bike riders stay in my yard in July. He said it would only take him 20 minutes to do a job like that...I said "good, then you'll do it for me?" He said yes. I like this guy more all the time, lol.

The highlight was the last song number. They stopped the show for 2 minutes and the kids put on leis. My niece and one other girl changed into their bathing suits and authentic Filipino grass skirts and flowers on their heads. And they sang a song called Pearly Shells. Basically it was my niece and this other girl singing and everyone else in the background sort of singing/swaying.
My niece is a big singer and dancer. And it was the most hysterical thing. She was swaying back and forth like a hula dancer while shouting out her song. It was definitely the best number.

I just finished some yummilicious Gold Star chili dogs - great, great, great (that is three greats).
I don't know of anyone here who has a duvet.
Everyone i know has a comforter. It is what they use to cover themselves at night and has a color/and pattern that make it presentable to leave on top of the bed.
Or should it be Chilly Dogs and Bedding
As promised - the Gold Star chili dogs:

Chilly Dogs and The New Bedding
I would not recommend eating the chili on your new duvet.
...and there's nothing like a coney at three in the morning.
Bruce the new bedding looks terrific!!! I like the color combination and the bed it nice too. :)
Is the bedding as long on the other side as shown in the photo? I find too often bedding is shorter than it should be.
I Have a Duvet - that's the title of my next novel.
Last night's first run through of BLITHE SPIRIT ran almost three hours......I shall be cutting the play today.

There was really bad weather near Fargo yesterday. Has Dakota checked in?

No, but you can probably catch her at Facebook.
I just had a very weird phone call. The caller I.D. said it was an unknown caller, but I picked it up anyway. Of course, I then had a recording saying that all of staff were busy helping others, but please hold on. Again, I normally don't wait for the next available salesperson, but before I could hang up the salesperson came on the line
So far, not terribly weird. Just wait.
The salesman says may I please speak to.................. And then he says my ex-sife's name. Not my last name, but the very unusual last name that she had before we were married. I have not seen the woman in twenty years, nor have I even spoken to her in sixteen years. And today someone is calling my house asking for her? ??? ??? And I have an unlisted phone number.
I just heard from our DR edisaurus, who's in NYC. Breakfast tomorrow at 10 at Popover!
I am still alive.. rattled and have seen WAY too many warnings, storm clouds and pictures of tornados hit too close to family and firends...
Wadena and Mentor, MN were severely damaged. The C-Store was destroyed in Mentor however, two women survived by hugging the toilet.
TOD:
Assuming they arrive, I'll be watching the newest seasons of ENTOURAGE, THE CLOSER and a HBO show that I'm unfamiliar with (but sounds like fun), HUNG.
:o
[Yes, that's what it refers to.]

Couldn't they just pick up the cues?
Work on the play goes slowly - my 'client' keeps 'improving' it... ah, well - the check cleared!!!

Do you know where your ex-wife is? Did they tell you how they got your number?
Iraqi Interpreter for U.S. Military Murdered by Family for Refusing to Quit Job
Published June 18, 2010
BAGHDAD -- An Iraqi interpreter for the U.S. military was gunned down on Friday by his son and nephew north of the capital after he refused their demands to quit his job, a police official said.
Hameed al-Daraji was shot in the chest in his house in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, police Lt. Emad Muhsin said.
Muhsin said al-Daraji worked as a contractor and translator for the U.S. military since 2003 against the wishes of his family. His relatives were constantly fighting with al-Daraji to give up working with the Americans, but he ignored their pleas, he added.
Al-Daraji's son and nephew were arrested after the attack and confessed to being members of an Al Qaeda group that sanctioned the killing, Muhsin said, adding that police were searching for a second son suspected of being an accomplice.
Iraqis working for the U.S. military in the country have been targets of extremist groups who view them as traitors and collaborators with an invading country. But it is rare for family members to kill a relative because of his or her employment with the Americans in Iraq.

...will love it even more when we put the proper skirt on tomorrow morning ...

I was so freaked out when he said her name that, first, I made him repeat it, and secondly, I said, "I haven't been married to the broad in twenty five years, so she sure as Hell is not here!" Then, I hung up.

Which explains why it's so important to support Mike Barnum, et al. in their efforts to help resettle Iraqui translators.

I have to go back for the parents' night. I intend to duck out as soon as they break out the ice cream.

Good!
I had forgotten that I had the second 2 hours of the BBC production of EMMA to finish, so I just did. This has become, after the BBC-A&E PRIDE AND PREJUDICE with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, my favorite Austen adaptation. The set has more scenes than the cut edition shown on Masterpiece Theatre and I've fallen in love with Samuel Sim's score for the series.I'm fourth on the waiting list at the library for it, so it should come in next week. Looking forward to it. I loved Romola in "Daniel Deronda" and "Amazing Grace." Glad to see she's getting good work.
