Leo, the Diplomat!

Dear Leo- Your wish is my command, at least regarding my dance partner. I shall reveal all ( or at least that which NEEDS to be known) at the reunion concerning my mystery partner. Of course I would wish for both you AND Josephine to stand at the ready with your chosen equipment in hand to defend my honor (HA!). An ORANGE alert? Where did that come from? And yet, I can see both of you standing by and being very good at your self appointed jobs. Why is that??? As for defending my honor - ask Sonja. I have very nicely learned to take care of myself, as she chuckled about when we both attended Carols' wedding last year. Afterwards, we shared a cold one at an Irish pub and had some chuckles together about my "latent abilities".

The blog has been unusually quiet recently - perhaps due to the holiday season and family committments. I hope people come back to it though - its nice to log on and find a friendly message, instead of just spam in my email. I have not heard from Martha privately either. I know that she had been busy traveling for business for a while, and add to that the holidays, and perhaps that is why she has been so quiet of late.

Has the "delegation" checked out Anna's house yet, or is that planned for later this month? Does poor Anna know what she is letting herself in for? Anna, think! It is not too late to quietly make an excuse - like you have 3 panda bears nesting in the living room and they cannot be disturbed because they are an endangered species, or some such plausible excuse. Honestly, I think it is most gracious of you to extend the use of your home to us all - and VERY BRAVE of you at the same time.

Is John making another spreadsheet concerning menu for the evening? Miss Marus would be proud of you, John!!! I think our old teachers would be proud of all of us. We all seem to have made good career choices for ourselves and are happily ensconsed(sp?) in family lives. That is a rather uncommon occurance in todays world, you know. We did well for ourselves!!! Could it be that Catholic education set the stage for our future development????? Or was it that we didnt DARE disappoint our family and not live up to their expectation of us? Either way, we are OK.

Gotta get going for now. Hope to see other blogs later on this evening. Be well, one and all. Keep blogging.
