We are doing construction with our Dad on our house soon.

The room our computer is in will disappear for a while!

We’re taking a blogging break.

I haven't been on in a while. My Aunt Dawn was murdered in November 2006. She was very beautiful, loving and caring. We went down to see her every year and she came up to see us, too. We went to the beach together. I feel terrible inside and out. Pray for me and my family.

This is a joke my Dad heard off the radio and told us:

There was once a kid named Odd and all the kids at school teased him and said, “There goes Odd.”

By the time he was grown up he was sick of having such a strange name.

When he was married, he said to his wife, “When I die, please do not put my name on my grave stone. I don’t want to be remembered with it.”

His wife said, “Okay.”

Years later, when he died, people walking past his grave would look at the empty stone, and say, “That’s odd!”   

We went to Costco last week and bought snow gloves and ate dinner there. We then went to Barnes & Noble and bought a few books. I bought a Hank the Cowdog (#6). Then we went home.

On the way home, I sat in the back of our 15 passenger van (I always sit there). I made a mistake and ate 2 pieces of cold pizza and finished my warm soda while I sat there. 

I got plain out sick! For 3 days!

Now I feel better. Never eat 2 pieces of cold pizza and drink warm soda in the back of a 15 passenger van.

My Grandma was here last week. She was only here for my Mom's birthday, but we still had a fun time. She lives in NJ. We played cards and sledded. She sort of wants to move up here. I think she should so she would be closer to us.

   Last weekend we fixed our garage roof which is flat. It was a tarry, sticky job. First we had to remove the old roof with shovels, hammers and other tools. Then, the fun began. We cut the roofing to the right size and put it on with a lot of tar. We got tar all over ourselves.

   My Dad asked my brother and I to pick up some nails. Our hands were frozen from the cold tar, because it starts to get cold early in Vermont. So we used our sticky, cold hands to pick them up by letting them stick to the tar. Then we had to use paint thinner to get the tar of and take a shower.

It has been raining a lot up here, but we did have a few nice days. The nicest one of them all got up to 90'.

Soon we will be leaving for our trip. My Mom will be writing about it here.
