Me and Miss W couldn’t understand why the car was covered with splotches of reddish brown mud this morning. We listened to Twenties Girl and the timing was perfect . . . just as we parked outside Kerri’s, the book ended. We are going to miss this, it was very silly, but lots of fun. I wasn’t sure how Miss W would feel about Clan of the Cave Bear, it seemed strange listening in silence this afternoon as we came home (we have been laughing and groaning along to Twenties Girl) but she said she liked it very much, and I thought that if we get all the way through this there are all the Jeam Auel sequels.
I am tired tonight, this week has been busy and even though I worked solidly on latest story Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday, it is still not ready to submit. I registered Boy 2 for summer camp today, and Miss W is off on a sleepover tomorrow night. Had interesting chat with coworker from South Africa today – she is from Pretoria, and her parents still live there. It has turned into quite a violent place, although I suppose it has been for a long time, it’s just that the violence has turned in a different direction now. I discovered that the reddish stuff all over the car is volcanic dust!
Lots of confusion today but my brother now realizes it’s not my birthday for another month, thank you anyway for the phone call, John.
