Blogging 101

I have recently been chastised for not blogging more frequently. This stretches me mentally, but I will try. I think it might help if I perused other blogger sights. I have found one that I find particularly amusing called Mrs. Blandings. I found it quite by accident when I was researching decorators for our new KC digs several weeks ago. I have it in my favorites and check it quite regularly. I also read about another one I am going to check out written by a previously single mom from Jacksonville called singlemomland. Not that I am anything like a single mom, but I find the nations trend towards unmarried motherhood quite complex and perplexing and it is another reminder of the generation gap that seems like it has snuck up on me now that I am in my 50s. That's as deep as it is going to get today.








I am off to the airport to send Mel on her way to London and her new adventure! She is excited but nervous as she knows no one in her particular program. I am surprised that she is nervous because she has done this so many times before with great success. I know she will be fine and the fam will be joining her in December for an xmas getaway.

Openning season for golf was yesterday. We played a scramble, my team came in second ($15 in the pro shop for dad!) and I won the closet to the pin contest and a sleeve a pink golf balls. The luncheon was delicious and I am looking forward to the season.

Dad arrives home tonight for the 3rd weekend in a row. Ike will be in KC over the weekend, and PVB is going to be sunny and hot and humid. A much better place to be. So far, once again, PVB and Jax have been spared the worst of hurricane season. I hope in KC we will be in the same position to escape the worst of tornado season.



Colleen was esctatic yesterday as she turned in her first college application to FSU. Today she is applying to UConn. She is a busy beaver.
