This has been a harsh month on the river. After the joy of Thanksgiving we lost two dear friends: Willie Vann and Charles Ivey. Both passed away within a two week period so that gave us one funeral and one rememberance to attend during that time frame. Willie was buried at Long Springs, just down river from the homestead, and Charles is being taken home to Gary, Indiana by his mother after the rememberance tomorrow. Both will be missed very, very much.
On the up side of things, this is the last day of the actual academic semester here at NSU. Next week is finals and then we're out (the faculty) till the second week of January, 2006. This is good. It gives me time to work on lesson plans and get some sort of a schedule created for the next semester.
Linda finished her internship this week! Huzzahs and Kudos (both the cheer and the candy bar) to her for a long, hard, weird trip. So...watch yourselves! Mom is now a fully trained psychologist, and you know what that means! You thought you couldn't get away with anything before?
I turned 52 on Sunday. Wow...I've outlived most of my maternal bloodline now! Pretty spiffy.
Alas, I have to go now and deal with frozen water pipes and such. We are looking into purchasing a new home for the new year, and we will post more on that as we go through the painful process of procurement.
