What's up with Whatsit

Otherwise . . .

What else is going on . . .

The "e" has come off my keyboard. This is a great inconvenience.

Everybody but me and Matt has had the sinuses, as we say. Emily got it today. She felt so bad that she texted me to come get her from school. I got Anna Claire while I was there so I wouldn't have to make a second trip, plus she's been feeling bad too. They are having a fundraiser at school tomorrow which both of them are supposed to participate in so I thought it would do them good to rest. Emily feels so bad that she may not be able to go. We may go to the doctor in the morning.

The Junior High/High School choir has been invited to New York to sing at Carnegie Hall. You can imagine what a fuss and flub-dub this has caused in our little town. Em and Anna Claire both are in the choir. This is what the fundraiser tomorrow is for - we are having a car show, any kind of car accepted - for a fee. I hear we even have a tractor. We have fundraised our heads off and there is no slowing down.

I went to the grocery store today and Breyer's Ice Cream was on sale for about one-third its normal price. I immediately grabbed two boxes of chocolate. Wahoo!

Okay, I can't help but tell this on myself. The other night we had baked chicken. My husband bragged and bragged on it. He was vastly impressed with the baked chicken and wanted to know what I had done differently. I told him that all I had done was salt it and put it in the oven covered with aluminum foil. Which was the truth. But what was also the truth is that a small piece of aluminum foil got loose and drifted to the corner of the oven and landed on the element. I came to check on supper and there was a tiny little flame in the oven. I'm glad it drifted to the front instead of the back so I could see it. I just got a plastic cup of water and threw it on there. When I tasted the chicken, it did have a slightly smoky taste not normally present in my baked chicken.

Quite naturally after it was all over with, the alarm went off. Our little puppy, Jack, started trembling and couldn't quit. We hugged on him until he calmed down and went to sleep. Bless his little heart.
