Sunday in South Bay

The dedication of Juliette was wonderful. The love of her church community, friends and relatives came through as brightly as the sun. Juliette seemed to know she was participating in a very special event. After church we continued the festivities with a salad luncheon. Juliette provided the entertainment with her jolly laughing.

Father's Day - 2008

It is really quite hard to remember a lot about my father. He died 51 years ago. Most of my memories come from photographs and old newspaper clippings. I came across this picture recently, and it reminded me that he was a winning coach as well as a great baseball player.

Friday Flashback

As I cleaned out my office files this past week, I came across several interesting items. I found something I have looked for at home for several years. The directions for knitting snowmen appeared in a pile of unrelated papers. No wonder I couldn't find this at home. I still have all the supplies. Now I will get busy knitting.
I also found this picture from the fall of 1994. That was the only year these two brass players marched in the same band.

Ten on Tuesday

Since other people I know did Ten on Tuesday, I decided to try it, also - even though it is Wednesday night.
1. Tomorrow is the last day of school. I get to announce the 2008 Teacher of the Year at the all school assembly. Tee Hee. I don't usually know things ahead of other people.
2. I just listened to Allison Sattinger sing It Had to Be You. That was great. I knew all the words. Richard remarked last weekend that I know an amazing amount of song lyrics. Too bad I can't sing.
3. If the Indians don't start winning some games, we'll be the only ones at Dodger Stadium late in June.
4. We have two bunnies living in our back yard. This does not bode well for my new tomato plants.
5. Lily loves to play with the giant frisbee that the Dillows left at our house. It's the one that Gracie went up on the roof to retrieve all by herself.
6. We found a new source for greeen tea last weekend at a little tea shop called Teavana in Beechwood,
7. I am currently reading Love Over Scotland by Alexander McCall Smith. I should be reading Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.
8. Les Roberts, my favorite mystery author, will visit the Learned Owl Friday night with his new book called King of the Holly Hop. I plan to be there.
9. Our good friend from college, Ladd MacIntosh, orchestrated the new movie Prince Caspian. I used to sit next to him in the OSU band. Who knew he would become so famous?
10. We have at least four species of woodpeckers making regular visits to our back yard. They are really fun to watch.
