We arrived in Woonsocket around 9 this morning ..we have been taking our time cause this load does not deliver until tormorrow. We are parked in front of the plant..the guard says they make plastic containers, anyway we have some chemicals for them. The plant is closed until morning. They are expecting snow to start tonight,not sure how much..the weatherchannel.com says heavy snow starting at 3am until about 12 noon.
We had a great time at mom's for her birthday..and she didn't eat much of my meatloaf - so I don't think she liked it as much as her own. We fed the horses and me and mom picked up some horse poop..dad helped a little.
Eric and Catherine and Michael and Zsuzsi are going to mom and dads the weekend after next to fix the roof..hope all goes well with that.
Ok now Mark is ready to go for a walk
take care everyone
love

Cranky
Not me, but some people seem to be. I check the blog compulsively. I keep waiting for Jane to post and tell us where she is. I expect a post everyday from her if only to say: Shreveport, LA.
Speaking of LA, that marine from Camp LeJuene (sp?) who is on the run after killing the woman he raped and impregnated was spotted there. You should read the CNN article on it. Awful. Sad.
So, Kaiti is currently in Charlottesville, driving to Lynchburg. She is not happy about going back which is sad. She is taking some interesting courses, so I hope they work out and that she gets a fun JOB so she can buy herself some cool stuff and save for an apartment wherever she lands next.
I worked out at the gym today! I did a high impact free weight workout with a friend. It was hard and I was the oldest and fattest there. I hope the french bread and veggie soup I'm about to have won't spoil my hard work. I was craving mom's vegetable soup today, but I remember growing up and for some reason I hated it --only liked the Campbell's.
We have an icy rain coming down now, so a hot bowl of soup and hot bread sure sounds good. We're watching football, and the NY/Dallas game is good!
Ok - people start posting and it is fun to read about what we're doing even if it is not extraordinary. Oh - and mom, I saw a lady on Dr. Phil who is crazier about her dog than you are about Fritzie. She chews his dog bones for him and spits them into his mouth. Dr. Phil actually just gave up on her.
Ok- back to empty nest boredom bliss.

p.s. please do a snow dance for me.

FYI
I read the blog everyday---I just have nothing of interest to day..so please POST. It's nice to see you tell us what is happening.
Where are the truckers? And, where is the Queen of good laughs? And, where are the kids? I assume they read too and can say a line or two...

Jane and Mark left here about 9 this morning headed for Kingsport, Tennessee. They will pick up a load there and transport it to Woonsocket, R.I. They had a load of macaroni and gave us a case. It's cute little cars and would look nice in soup. Will give some to Marianne for Christian and some to Nancy for the boys' macaroni and cheese.
Jane and Mark did all the cooking while here - nice break for me not to mention all the good food. Best was the big chocolate cake! Mark climbed around on the roof and reattached all the rain gutters. Had fun riding around in the big red truck - Mark can even parallel park the thing!
Am playing literati now and then will have a small siesta! Ah, the pleasures of old age - lol.
Love to all and a big thanks to Jane and Mark for all they did.

Okay - here is my daily post! Today we went in Mark's big truck to town - fun. Visited the new Goodwill Hah! - and I bought one 69cent mirror to go with my collection. Then we toured the new Lowes - very nice, followed by lunch at Long John Silver's - hadn't eaten there in about 30 years. I just played my Literati game (lost) and Jane is on her laptop paying bills. It's raining and when we got home Dad opened door first and out raced Fritz to greet me. However, he HATES rain, so he got as far as me yelping all the while, made an immediate u-turn and raced back inside the house. He is so funny. Sandi came to greet me too and stayed out a little longer - her hair is longer so she doesn't feel the rain right away. Jane and Mark will be on the road again tomorrow, but they don't know where they'll be going yet.
Aunt Nancy called this morning - the only news of note is that Tom remarried. He had been seeing a woman in British Columbia who has 3 children and they were married in October and had a baby in December. She said Brendan is thrilled to have a baby brother and seems happy to have a big family now. Tom sold his house in Philadelphia and has moved to B.C. so she will not be seeing much of Brendan, but he calls her frequently. Let's hope they live happily ever after!
Getting offline now to have a little snooze - all that lunch food has made me sleepy.
Love to all
Mom

Jane and Mark are here! They arrived about noon yesterday. Mark fixed all the gutters - I hid inside prepared to dial 911 if I heard a crash! Don't know what we will do today - looks like rain.
We watched Gone With the Wind last nite - jane was the only one who made it to the end. I enjoyed what I watched - the first half, even if it was about the sixth of seventh time I've watched it. I remember watching it once with Marianne.
I fell asleep before the final results of the New Hampshire primary were in so when I woke up at 2 A.M. I had to get up and turn on the T.V. to see who won. I like all the Democratic candidates and didn't think I really cared which one of the 3 won. But I felt a real surge of joy when I heard the Hilary had won. I really think that she is the best qualified to lead our country now. But if she is not the nominee I will happily support whoever is. I think John McCain is the best of all the Republicans, too.
Am getting offline now - have a wonderful day.
Love,
Mom
P.S. Ellen - Jane and I are going to wash Sandi today - lol.
