OFF TOPIC - Time Mismanagement

[Guest guest]

Howdy Y’all,

I’ve been missing in action for some time now,

so I would like to apologize to everyone for unanswered e-mails.

On Thursday (17th) about noon, once again I got a piece of food stuck

in my throat. It won’t go

down and won’t come up, so there it sits painful as all get out. Took TJ & I an

hour to get to the closest (sorta big) hospital. I had an emergent EDG and luckily was

discharged that night. So……Ken’s

birthday, (the next day) didn’t turn out quite as planned. On top of everything else, Southwest canceled

Kim’s flight, so she didn’t arrive until much later that night and

that didn’t leave us much time to celebrate. Yes we had steak, and asparagus (

our garden is coming in big time), but no coconut shrimp or twice baked

potatoes (recipe follows.)

I had been called for jury duty, so the following Monday

(21st) I went in to the court house. About 150 people were there, so I felt confident

I wouldn’t be picked. Didn’t

want to use Ken as an excuse (although I could have) because I figured I would

save that option for a later time if needed. Wouldn’t you know it, I was picked for a murder trial. So I’ve been busy. Ken & TJ were left to entertain my

MIL while I was gone. Monday we

will hear closing arguments and do our duty (shouldn’t take very long!)

Carolyn (and others) I’m sorry I wasn’t

able to answer any of your e-mails.

I hope to get caught up soon.
