5th Day of March

Sundays seem to be the best day to find time to write my blog.

I took a look at my 50 list and realized I have a few things I need to get working on. So I started working on my Book of Poems. Ever since the computer became part of our "household", I've kept copies of all my poems, Eulogies, Christmas letters/poems, and one of the goals is to put them all together in a book. It won't be professionally done, or sold at Chapters (Hey if Bruce Hart can make money on a book....) I've got 20 pages already done up with about 29 items. Maybe 20 more to go. Maybe I'm folloiwng in my great grandfather's footsteps. Grandpa Sandy (Alexander) Fraser had a book of Scottish poems made up. He'd probably be rolling in his grave if he could read mine.

I had intended on going out and getting a bit of shopping done today, but that would involve putting on realy clothes and fixing my hair. The hair got washed, but I'm not liking this new style. It seems to just point out everywhere. And this natural color....dark brown.... not sure how long it was last. I finally have all of the color out of it and I am letting the gray grow in. When I look in the mirror, it just doesn't look natural - go figure.

Had our family meeting after supper tonight. I think I have finally trained the son on how to participate - he actually asked Bill for rides a couple of mornings. Usually he waits until the night before.....Some people in this house don't like surprises. And Patrick also told us about soccer practices he needs to be at - or let me rephrase - he wants the car for.

I had a little flash back moment on Saturday night. Patrick went to the senior girls basketball finals at Crescent Heights High School (which just happens to be mine and Bill's old high school) When I was in school, we always went to the games, and they were usually held at Crescent Heights because of the large, great gym. And of course the tv cameras were there. I tried to look and see the son (he was working his sports med hours) who was sitting with the team. Seems the camera man was just focused on the game!!!! (shot from the same side as the teams were sitting)

Well a busy week is ahead. Extra preschool work hours and at least 7 visit to the card "stores."
I better get on that laundry so I have time to read before bed.
