My DL Farm trip today! YAY!
Comments (15)njmomma, it looks as though you and your Mom spent some quality time together. i think that's a wonderful thing to do. Mostly, my children aren't interested in flowers of any kind except 2 daughters who live in Mo. One in NE and the other in the SW. The ones that are closer just tolerate my gardens. So, I hopeyou treasure the time spent with your Mom. Now, the dls aren't half bad..in fact the are second only to the trip. I'm glad you had so much fun together...Ellie...See MoreWaaay too hot
Comments (5)Both my furnace and my air conditioner went out last March, and I can't afford to fix them until I get a job and enough money to do it. I was going to plant some things for a fall garden -- carrots, lettuce, broccoli -- but by the time this heat wave ends, we'll be into first frost. I'm going to a convention in downtown Denver next week, and someone offered to share their room with me. Five days of air conditioning! It'll be heaven. And it's supposed to rain during that time, too, so hopefully my plants will be okay by the time I get back. I have to wonder how many zucchinis and tomatoes I'll have waiting for me....See MoreStuffy schools closed here!!!
Comments (11)All of the schools in our district have AC so they went the full days this past week. But the schools in the surrounding areas that do not have AC all let school out early. Most between 1:00-2-00 pm. The heat and humidity here in Illinois has been awful too. The kids can't learn in this heat so what is the point? Our kids were kept in from recess one of the worst days this week. We should see some relief about Monday....See MoreJournal 10 August 2017
Comments (7)Yes, it's been a long time. He had such a hard time at the beginning of school, but he's really hit his stride. I can't imagine him off at university, and I totally can. He's really in another world, far outside of mine, even within mine. The man I spoke of, the bioinformatician I talked about? He works with me. Obama's staff tried hard to get him to head up the new Precision Medicine initiative, but he stayed at my employers. He's really good. But, the point? He and LF (who is inches taller than I am, and just passed me up in weight. NOT little) were talking about directions for university, and they were talking about actual computer science language and writing equations on my white erase board that looks like total Greek to me. LF stood toe to toe with him and added to the conversation. He's gonna do well. I was floored. And proud. Despite all he's been through, he'll be more than all right....See MoreGardenHo_MI_Z5
