Two days in a row - how about that? I had Dish TV troubles yesterday. Called tech support twice only to be told they can't help me and that I would have to pay for a service call, which also would result in at least 1/2 day off work. That did not make me happy. So today I called tech support for a 3rd time (is a charm, right?). Well, this tech support gal did help me and my big screen is back online. Unfortunately, the two smaller TVs are not working properly. Rather than deal with that tonight, I will save this for another tech call maybe tomorrow night. My computer is acting a bit crappy, too. I think I need to get the software that is supposed to clean it up and make it run smoother. My untechy-self doesn't know the appropriate terminology for that. Anyways, this topic is even boring me to death, so I will bring it to closure.

Bowling last night was OK. We won all three games, so that should vault us back up in the league standings. My team has won this league for 5 years, and while it's a casual league, we really do like to win even when we say we don't. We shall see how things shake out this year.

Well, my brother Brad says the London Invitational is rescheduled for this coming Saturday, which is not so good for me, as I am going on a long and much-awaited scrap retreat with 14 other gals. I will have to miss Shane's wrestling, but I will make the Alder Invitational and I'll just have to attend more events in February.

I picked up 3 books at the library today, including Twilight, which I saw at the movies during Thanksgiving week. The movie was OK, but don't think I'd see it twice. I understand the book is really a great read, so I hope I enjoy it more.

My bout with the flu last week has sifted to coughing and sneezing spells this weekend. I feel much better and have my energy back. I really don't want to miss any work this week, so let's hope I am on the upswing. Went over to my parents and helped with some bill-paying and sorting through mail. That can be a whole topic for another day. My parents are having some aging issues right now and my brothers and I are having to pay closer attention to them. It's very trying, but I have to remember they really can't help it. Getting old sucks!

My friend Pam is home from her birthday week trip to Anna Maria Island and she really loved it down there. The weather was great, and it she got to do some fun things with her friends from work who now live down in the area.

Well, enough blogging for today. Until later....................

Jill, thanks for visiting my blog and for your encouraging words about my honey and the pace maker. The new dosage worked and we've put that off for a while! I have friends on Anna Maria too!

Thanks for your posting.

I knew Harold Middleton, and his mother, who owned a creamery in the 'Burg.

Lora McQuirt Damewood saw your picture, and read your note. She knew your dad, uncle and aunt. You read about her on "Small World".

Jill,

I just showed your picrure, and your comment to Lois Runyan, and she said she remembers your dad as being a "big" man. She said your grandmother, Jeanette was her teacher in school.
