we have jackets lovely blue winter jackets-- to be distributed to our employees, purple shirted volunteers, recipients and directors--as needed... i i have not counted... but over 100???-- mostly larger mens sizes--actually they are really double jackets... you zip the inner black and snap the blue..... they hang behind my head... don't take these.... they are for people to try on ... then put thier name on the card attached and i will get them down from storage... ot tanner or tom will get them down...
tanner is here due to transortaation difficulties--- and he is sorely bored with school-- i need some informtation on high school classees... particularly geometry- a course i bet he could take on his own... because it logically builds on one thing after another... starting with
between 2 points one and only one line may be drawn.... do any of you know about that course availability? i was told someone had an entire k - 12 course online... so where is it???

flightaware.com is worth a look this morning.. the bare hole around atlanta is not something you will often see... there are times i wonder about who is in charge of the "what if" department.. from what i am hearing they had a fire... which involved the automnatic switch to send in the back up electricity...hopefully that was not in the same building as the fire??-- at any rate it was knocked out too.. we are soooo helpless without electricity... and the only things as bad are malfunctioning flushing plumbing devices-- and pick up garbage service

calendars are flying out of here... i am told sandy will be in to help with them today...

i was flabbergasted yesterday to have 2 women arrive from ?syracuse.. a 9 hour drive... they were here to just look around... being camera people one's name online is "pinwheel" they sat around with the puppies and were very happy, then had to turn around and drive back 9 ours... i offered them a place to stay, but the delegated driver had to go to work monday -- wow... i am certainly pleased to provide teh entertainment.. but that seemed an extreme situation...

Clark and I finished our semester and are on “break”, though we haven’t slowed down! He is keeping me going through the busy holiday season. Last weekend, we saw a comedy show featuring Drew Lynch, a comedian who has a video blog about life with his service dog, Stella. We thoroughly enjoyed the show, and even got to meet Drew and Stella afterwards.
That night was snowy and icy, and I was especially grateful to have Clark keeping me upright and steering me through the safest route!
This week, we have been helping out at my mom’s office and finishing up some projects at school. Last night, we went to see the Nutcracker at Cincinnati’s Music Hall. The 240 year old building had recently been renovated, so it was a special Christmas treat to get to see the beautiful renovations and the ballet. Clark slept through the whole performance, but that is what he is supposed to do. There were lots of children at the performance, and I think seeing Clark was more fascinating than the show to some of them!
Here are a few pictures. Happy holidays to everyone!
