Or, perhaps we’ve been gone a long time. We arrived home yesterday with GS3 and GD’s 1 and 2. The washer has been running ever since. Nothing like a little camping with three kids to make a little wash. I mixed up cookies last night, and vacuumed, and made up beds for the girls, and …

A Little Drive
Papa and I are taking a little drive down the road tomorrow. The littlest most economical car is all packed and ready to roll. The cooler is in the garage, waiting for me to add the last minute “stuff”. We are taking a tent, a cooler, some clothing, and a few other necessities. We’ll be …

Keeping Up?
I’m not. Not keeping up, I guess. The reason, too much real e-mail. Another researcher of the Fellows family has appeared, as if by magic. I’ve got a ton of things to go through and enter in the computer. I need to clean the house, finish yesterdays wash and do a little sewing. Oh well. …

Garden Troubles
I’ve had more problems than usual with my vegetable garden this year. We had to replant the lettuce and the carrots. The beets came up pretty spotty. A few of our tomatoes suffered frost damage, and some tomatoes just died, don’t know why. To top it all off, a few days ago, 12+ broke off …
