Beginning Again and Track Meet

It has been a long time since I started this blog and made an entry. I've been playing around with it trying to get it perfect - everything just the way I want it. But I've not been able to reach that point. I decided that I may not be able to get where I want and meanwhile I'm not making any progress here. So I have to just start and not expect this to be the perfect blog I wanted.

Cold here this morning, but a lovely, sunny afternoon. I'm working in the kitchen, making a pot of vegetable soup (as close to Meme's as possible) and watching the high school track members walking the golf course. There is a conference meet on the golf course today and the teams all walk the marked course before they run. I'm remembering the year Jill and her fellow track members did this same thing. It was fun to stand on the deck and watch them run by. I have the newspaper clipping and the picture of the awards given out after the race. If I remember correctly, Jill was named All-Tournament or All-Conference from that meet. The next time I run across that clipping as I work with our scrapbook stuff, I will post the picture here.

Missing That Girl

This is Ann's last morning of Driver's Ed. When she comes in, I will be ready to go to Little Rock to meet Terrie and Olivia. We need to plan our agenda for San Antonio. James is in El Reno, OK, for a shoot, but he will be back tonight. Ann and I will stay with Jill tonight. For some reason, yesterday was my cry day. I just wailed as I was getting ready to leave for Easter Seals and cried most of the way home last night. I miss that girl as she was so much. I know she is still here, but will never be as she was. Even though, she drove me up the wall sometimes, I thought she was so pretty and talented. She had that quality and the ability to do whatever she set her mind to do. I often wonder what her life would have been like - where she would have gone and what she would have done. She was crazy about visiting New York, perhaps she would have aspired to a career there. We will never know.

First Post

The idea of having a blog - a cyber diary of sorts - seems interesting. A place to record happenings, thoughts, feelings, etc. exactly as they are.
