What's up with Whatsit

Blog stew

This is going to be blog stew tonight.

I got through with The Great Gatsby . I enjoyed it a lot better this time than when I tried to read it twenty years ago. I may have to give up on Corelli's Mandolin.

My daughter, Emily, made it into All-State Honor Choir. The performance was this morning. They did very well.

Hudson's, the store that buys out other stores and resells everything at a discount, had some teacher things for 50% off - mostly books to run worksheets from. Once I got up there I decided I didn't want to spend the money. I did look through a few of them and get ideas to make my own worksheets. I'm too stingy and there are too many free things I can print off the internet.

We have a new dog. My old beagle, Katie, went to dog heaven. We still have Wimzy, our Beagle/Jack Russell mix. Now we have Bitsy, a terrier mix. The shelter said she was a terrier-poodle mix, but we don't see poodle in her at all. She's black and fluffy, and she was so glad to come live with us! She sleeps with one of the kids and Wimzy still sleeps in her place under Mama and Daddy's covers. Bitsy is sitting on my feet right now, like a little black powder-puff.

I had broccoli for supper. Broccoli always makes me feel nutritionalized. Also stew over rice, which was good.

My kids are in the tub so I am having some peace and quiet. We are heading toward bed, including me.

Good night.
