Something New to Look at

Tavern and Tickets

On Saturday, we ordered our tickets for our trip to England! We are to leave July 7 from Pittsburgh and return on July 22. Woo! I've always, always, always wanted to go to England, and, Lord willing, I shall be going this summer! We found a nice hotel in Reading (where TGD's math conference is the first week), and I found a nice bed and breakfast in Bath. We don't have reservations at either place yet, as we just want to check a detail or two before committing.

Also on Saturday, TGD took me out to one of my favorite restaurants, The Tavern. It's a local place, very Penn State, with a median dining age of at least 53 years old. They had one of my favorite dishes on the menu, too, Beef tips over noodles in a Burgundy wine sauce. (The menu is printed daily at The Tavern.) We also ended the meal with chocolate chip cheesecake. It was a delightful time to eat and flirt with my husband.

Little Miss is sitting on my lap as I type this, runny-eyed and nosed and coughing. Yes, the diseases just linger on here. Grinner and LibbyK are coughing and tired, still. But, I can't bear the thought of loosing another day of school to this illness! (Unless, of course, I come down with it. Then the whole world will just have to stop.)

I finally got my "Christmas" cards out to church friends this weekend. I made them on the computer (just for something else to go in the envelope with the family picture), and they read: Our Christmas cards were late this year. Now February is already here. So with good wishes we do say... Have a very merry President's Day!

but I haven't been so good at commenting lately. Seems all I have time to do these days is read through Bloglines.

It is great that you will be going to England. I was there last year--my first real visit to England--one that lasted longer than a day or two. We were in Saltburn-By-the-Sea.

Usually we go to Scotland (the inlaws like visitors), and we may be going back in the Fall for a visit.

Hope you are all feeling better soon. Glad to hear you have a start on your book.

Blessings,
Karen

I guessing the reason why you aren't posting here is because you've been posting on your Xanga. Too bad. I'm not alowed to go to Xanga.

We went bowling with the Hatfields today...I read your score on your xanga and we...ummm...didn't even come close. The highest score was Meredith's and it was 84.

Had lots of fun, though!! We miss you guys...

Teacherperson,
Please tell NateTheHunter that we (my family and I)watched his solo on your Xanga and thought it was really, really, really good. I could hardly belive my eyes! Wow. That was cool...
