Lady in a Small Town

This has been a fairly full weekend for me. I can hardly believe I made it to Sunday. Friday I got to school before 8 for the first time in months. Months! I am doing the AfterSchool Program Friday afternoons now. The last kids are picked up at 5:30. Lord S joined me at 5 [...]

This week has been the same old, same old. Oh wait! No it hasn’t! Monday was hard. I hate going back to school after a vacation. It is even worse than going back after summer. At the start of the school year, we are all excited and fresh. After spring break, all we are really [...]

I have been up since 11. There was maybe an inch of new snow when I came downstairs. It has been snowing steadily since, although I think for a little while it was rainy, and it doesn’t seem like it is going to stop. I bet we have 3 inches out there. Dang. Maybe I [...]

Last night we went to dinner with my sister, her best friend, and a guy friend of theirs. We ate at our favorite resturaunt (not our favorite diner, which is a different place) and had a ball. We laughed and talked and stared at the people on the other side of the window. After dinner [...]

The talk yesterday was that we might have a delayed entry today. The weather wasn’t so bad here first thing. Schools all over our area were closed, but not in the Strathconn Valley. Big huge snow drops were falling, but everything was just wet. The trees still have snow from last week. By the time [...]
