Mother and I have wrapped presents most of the evening.  I’m sure she’s worn out from doing that.  It’s been fun, though.  Chelsey came over, and she & Chip exchanged gifts.  Ahhh…  She atepizza with us, and then she & Chip watched…………..Family Guy.  Yes, I know you’re surprised.Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.  Do you like going […]

If you’d like to watch the Photo Show of the Color Guard Dinner, just go to http://www.siegelband.org/images/2005%20Guard%20DInner  I have redone the look of the band web page–the one WITH flash.  You’ll have to let me know if you like it better or worse than before.  Maybe people like the look of the simple page best […]

FYI…Chip’s RISK game was hidden in a safe place.  We finally found out where that place was.  RISK games can happen again at any time!  Yes, it’s very good news. The guard dinner is tonight at 5:00 and then the choir is singing at 8:00.  It should be a full night.  I worked much of […]

First, I should start with last week when my special visitors came…Melissa, Allie, Kallie, and Courtney–who all love me very much!  Then, there’s Beth, our adopted daughter, and Emily, who is home from college!  Yay for times when we have lots of friends to comevisit!! Now for yesterday…Chelsey and Chip spent almost the entire day […]

So, the Christmas Parade was yesterday.  It was a lovely day, all in all, though the big pile of horse poop that I narrowly escaped practically marred the beauty of the day.  I got to see all of those amazing band kiddos and some pretty awesome band parents, who I love running into whenever the […]

Mid-state…for people who are going for the first time, it should be clearly explained what they need to have with them and what they need to have prepared…for everyone in general it needs to be a better system.  Why isn’t “Mid-State” in the middle of the state—MTSU???  Why aren’t kids registered automatically and assigned times […]

My tooth really hurts.  It feels very warm.  That’s probably not a good sign.  Of course, the dentist will not be in the office until Monday.  Oh, what a long weekend it could be.  I can hear Parker practicing for Mid-State.  He sounds awesome.  I hope he does well.  Chip’s Mid-State music sounds great, too.  […]

My mouth really hurts.  Monday we went to the dentist to get our teeth cleaned.  One of my teeth had broken off a couple of weeks ago–beside the beautiful silver filling of old, and I knew a crown was in the works.  So, yesterday, I went back up to get the crown prep done.  My […]

EDIT:  Did I tell you that I was published?  It was very exciting to open up the Daily News Journal to read the Letters to the Editor, in Friday’s paper, and what should I discover?  There were no Letters to the Editor…but therewas a “Guest Columnist…”  ME!  I was so surprised that it was in […]
