Jeff's uncle gave me all of the old photos of Jeff's great-grandfather's
family. I am scanning the fronts and the back and putting them all on CD. Then there is a complicated genealogy written down on paper and I am going to put it into my genealogy software program and make copies for his uncle.
I am also scrapbooking. In previous years, I have scrapbooked the girls' awards, pictures, projects and report cards throughout the year, but I haven't had time this year. So, I have a pile from each girl to put in their school album. Apparently Maddie needs a portforlio of her awards and recognition for college, so I need to make color copies of her awards and newspaper clippings as I go.

Re: My house is very quiet
That's right, I just left for the airport, with my laundry still damp (they wouldn't hang a clothesline for me!) and having to pay for my own taxi to the airport. That's OK, there's nothing I wouldn't do to inflict guilt on those I love.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:Jeff went to work for the first time in a week and a half.

I figured you'd just hook a line to the back of your broomstick and dry everything on the way home.

Re: My house is very quiet
Thanks for reminding me, I'll have the cab take me back to your house, and I'll quietly slip in the car and drive. I guess I won't have to be too quiet, those unruly kids of yours will probably be tearing each other limb from limb. And I so appreciate being able to spend half of my income this month on the rental car. I wouldn't dream of inconveniencing you in any way, although you could offer to drive me, or I could drive myself in your fancy-shmancy foreign auto. I know you wouldn't want me to crash it or anything, since I would have the leftovers from my meager meals at your house in a brown bag in the back seat so I might have some money this month for utilities and bingo.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:Very funny!PlacentiaSoccerMom'sMom wrote:That's right, I just left for the airport, with my laundry still damp (they wouldn't hang a clothesline for me!) and having to pay for my own taxi to the airport.

Re: My house is very quiet
But Mom, you were bragging this morning about how your rental was only $13 a day. Don't think that I didn't catch the subtle dig about how clean the car was compared to the exterior of my Tahoe.PlacentiaSoccerMom'sMom wrote:Thanks for reminding me, I'll have the cab take me back to your house, and I'll quietly slip in the car and drive.

Re: My house is very quiet
Make sure to backup your photos and genealogy to the Web! I hear about someone who lost everything at least once a week.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:After I do "mom stuff" like laundry, dishes and bill paying, I have several projects that I will start working on.Bob Juch wrote:So what are you doing to keep busy?PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:Jeff went to work for the first time in a week and a half.
