The Morning after Two Graduations

 I just looked at all the pictures I took last night. I only got one of David in his cap and gown. I stood in front of the procession as they entered the room but it was crowded and he went to fast. 

Rick just made me a delicious egg, bacon and cheese sandwich. i ate it and now I feel full. I am sitting on the sofa in our family room. We are still in the process of having it painted. 

I finally

figured out what to do. Now, I can write. rick went up stairs. I still feel very tired but I feel full. i drank two cups of coffee. 

I re read Eliza’s paragraph and the poem that inspired her. I am impressed that she wrote the poem on the wall downtown on the mall. I cannot remember the name of the wall. 

Attended a performance at North Branch School

 I was at the school about 11:30. Bradley came to the car door. We sat on the front porch together and talked then Went in and had front row seats. The kids made music with the bells and then sang. Eliza was part of the group that sang. Some of the kids did a short talk they made up themselves. Eliza had an essay and a picture of her at the democracy wall on the downtown wall. It was impressive. I hope she makes me a copy.the talks were philosophical. They discussed their past and their future. I am still learning. 

Attended concert at Western

 I attended the concert at Western and watched Joseph and Tucker preform with the orchestra. tucker also played in a threesome.

The last pieces were excellent. I should look up the names of the artists who composed the pieces.

I sat with Hallie and Walker. Walker picked me up at 5pm. We drove to their house and then to western. They ate in walker’s classroom which is filled with historical pictures. He is now teaching Government and one law class. 

Trying to make my blog work better

 I have called for help from Apple.

They were very polite but did Understand too much about how to explain. I am am going to add a picture. Walker will come at 5pm and take me to the concert. 

It is still raining

 I am going to sit in the jacuzzi even though there is a drizzle. Tonight we go to an orchestra  concert. We missed the individual performances the teacher has for our grandchildren on Sundays. They preform individually. The performance tonight is the whole orchastra

I am trying to keep organized. I went to the doctor’s yesterday. Dr. Pinkerton. I am going to read all my instructions when I get out of the jacuzzi. It is too early to call right now. Rick has not returned from the gym. He will come in the house any minute.  I am drinking coffee. I am knitting a blanket for Eliza. I will try and take a picture.I took a picture but it did not work. 

We jave a new pope

 I watched the TV all cay yesterday. The new pope brew up in chicago. We keep seeing pictures of the cathedral and also Villa ova where he went to college. He was a missionary in Peru. I still cannot send pictures. Maybe I will go to Best Buy and learn about this computer. i think I will call Joe. 

Still Black Smoke

 I have watched TV and knitted all morning. I made Waldorf Salad and just finished eating one half bowel. The Cardinals have not yet made a decision. When I woke up they showed Black Smoke. Rick is outside working in the garden by the garage. I just went out to get my notebook for Nadia’s class. It is 12 or 12:30. 

I am almost finished the first half of my blue blanket. I would like to take a picture of it but still do not yet know how the camera works. I will try later.

Eliza gave me a lovely Crewl picture which she designed herself. I have framed it in the black frame My Holkam grandchildren’s picture was in. It is on the mantle. I also worked on Eliza’s scrapbook which I want to give her for her graduation from North Branch.

We watched Erin Burnett often. She is in Rome  watching what has happened there. Yesterday when I watched Tucker play tennis I read The Leonardo DaVinci book . It inspired me and will make me work harder at everything.  He painted the Sistine Chapel where all the cardinals are sitting right no trying to decide who will be the next pope.

The Day After my 83rd Birthday

 I am sitting on the sofa with the TV on. I ate all the leftovers from yesterday’s breakfast at Night Watch. I feel full. I am going to try on all the gifts Rick gave me, a nightgown, slipin pants and a bathing suit.

We went to visit Walker's family and my grandchildren gave me two homemade birthday card and an apple slicer. We went to the Band Fair for North Branch at Cardinal Winery and Eliza gave me a beautiful sewing that she made and my daughter gave me a slew of books. I put them on the table down stairs and will decide later which ones

I want to read.
