LSU! LSU!

Hey,
what a game. In case you haven't heard  LSU won the SEC title.
Sunday we drove all the way to Birmingham  (alabama) to see the final game.
Slow excitement.   that's baseball.


we also did some hiking in a pretty forested area of a state park.

BUT the best was the game...beats any grizzly game b/c these guys are not pro.
They play like the game is everything...not beating up on someone else or tempers flaring.
And once it is over....THE DOG PILE !!!!

The fans  are true purple and gold...cheering whether they are up or down.  Makes the opposition find another seat!  I love going to this series. My children think of it as a given...LSU makes it to the finals...we go.
There is nothing like the SEC....they just need to stop expanding it.

quirky humor

Kevin seems to enjoy silly humor..he will leave a door to a room ajar
 and place a tennis ball on top the door.
Never looking, the rest of us go into the room
 only to be assaulted by a falling tennis ball.

summer break is nearly here.  he wants to sleep...wake me for
Camp lake stephens, mud camp and choir camp.

he plans to run a little in the morning and a little in the afternoon...the in between time is spent  recovering from the exercise.

Corinne , on the other hand is deep in thought.   Apparently, the english teacher has them writing
an essay on rebellion...c chose gay marriage.  ???????

I need to find her some work....any ideas??

Welcome Angie and Kathryn!!

It was so nice seeing everyone at lunch on the 3rd.  Hope we can do it again before too long.  I sent invites to the blog to Angie and Kathryn since they said they were interested in taking a look.  Hopefully they will contribute as well.

We missed you Julie!  Hope all is well in Vermont.  Love to hear from you to find out what's going on.

Summer Calendar

The summer calendar is ready for input.  Those with Gmail accounts should be able to go to the Google Calendar listing once you sign into Gmail and choose the "Met in Memphis Moms" calendar.  Just put your name on the dates you know you wouldn't be able to get together.  All of us are registered to make changes so it should work.

Carole,  I didn't have a Gmail email address for you so I'm assuming you don't have one.  I sent an invite to the Blog address on file so you should have gotten that.  I don't know if you will be able to add to the calendar or not.  Worse case, once everyone else has, I'll send it to you as a PDF or something and get your input.

Hope this works out.

dad duty

well,
It is always interesting when a dad  thinks  something is important.
He usually tries to enlist the mom to rally to his aid.
Nothin doin.  I am letting him handle this on his own.


Packing is one thing I have delegated to my children...how else will they learn what to bring/is needed.  I give them the itinerary...they go from there.

I take my cue from the dad of one of Kevin's friends:   lots of underwear will fix any lack of
clothing.

keith decided at the last hour(s) to go over what Kevin has packed/will need.
I was fast and furiously typing an e mail to the choir teacher for dress code.
Keith decided that kevin needed an ironed white shirt for the tux and likely
was hoping I would take over......exit living room to the restroom for a bath.

K: How do you turn on the iron....
C try plugging it in.
K does it heat up on its own....
C with water...turn up the steam...the thingy with the clouds.
K...humpf...
C.....this time I  turn the shower on.

Prior to this it was (Keith) :  kevin here is what I figure you need for meals
k...dad, that is too much...
(mom e mailing the choir  teacher for # of out of pocket meals)

Corinne and I have been hand signaling each other...22 , 21, 20 1/2....hrs to go till Kevin is gone.

I was supposed to go on this trip.... Keith is going to shreveport thurs a.m and coming  home friday night at 10 or 11p...I am here with corinne and the menagerie of pets.

good night,

Corinne goes camping with the boy scout group Venture  fri night to sun mid day.
