A car plowed into the stop sign next door. There are plenty of car pieces scattered across the neighbors’ lawn. I hope everyone was OK.

Not an auspicious start to bk's move.

My impression of the "helper" lowers with each passing day.

Especially since she dumped the job on her mother.

Monday evening greetings!  I did something today that I haven't done for more than a year - attended, in person, a luncheon meeting of one of my ladies' groups.  It was very nice and I get to do something similar tomorrow with a different group, but it's just a meeting with no meal being served.

Thank you to everyone who expressed condolences for the loss of my high school drama teacher.  Mind you, I hadn't really had any contact with him for almost 50 years, but it still feels like a loss.

As if the past year hasn't been annoying enough, on Saturday I received a summons for jury duty for a 2-week period during which Richard and I have planned to visit Charlotte and her parents.  I've mailed in my request for a reprieve - pray for Rosemary's baby.

Good luck Ginny.  I wish I could get in the car for a day drive to see the kids.

Good luck!  Here in Washington, we can defer the time up to a month later.  When I did that and I called during the new time, I was not needed at all. ;)

I didn't know that about Washington.  I have never served jury duty.  The first time I was called up Bryan was just a couple of months old.  The second time was in Ashland and one of my specialists wrote a note that exempted me from jury duty forever.   Right now I am kind of in-between doctors and would hate to need one of those letters again.

I've never served, either, but the last time I was called was when I found that you can defer.

But wow!  She was 96 years old...or was she?  The article says that she was born on Aug. 5, 1924, but her IMDb listing says that she was born in 1925.

I don't think that I had ever seen Billie Hayes without any makeup.  This picture was in her IMDb listing, and it's what she really looked like:

I updated the article link to one that had more recent photos of her.

Bruce called me. They got everything moved, but it was a bigger production than was estimated. He's trying to get some dinner now. I'm sure he'll tell you all about it.
