We were totally without electricity in our computer/exercise
room and I had blog withdrawal. Fortunately the electrician
has come and gone ...with a lot of our money. Everything is
working again thank goodness.

I have been searching high and low for some jewelry that I
put up for safe keeping. I just now found the passports that I packed ever so carefully away. I now have a book
that I am writing down the location of things put away.

I have made files with everything that I can think of that
is important.

There was a garage sale across the street and there were
two new baby pajamas and crib sheets that I snatched up for
Sara who was married yesterday. She is terrible with money
so her mother and I have decided that we will designate
money for furniture and she and Linda can shop for it. Otherwise it will go for entertainment. Ted has mellowed.
When I showed him the baby things, still in the package, he
remarked that we ought to be putting things away for the
arrival of little Owen. We are going to turn the family
reunion into a baby shower for Sara and my sister's
grandaughter K. Ann. Incidentally her name is Kevin Anne.
I will never for the life of me know why a girl was named
Kevin. What was my nephew thinking?



Ellie and I are going to an estate sale this afternoon. It
is supposed to be huge. I got the most beautiful shade of
turquoise by painting a bracelet green and then going over
it lightly with blue. Ted started a portraid of me and it is
so bad that I am going to finish it. By the way, Almay has
a new foundation out that changes to your skin tone. It is
great for me because I have trouble getting a light enough
shade.
