Grooming

Going through our hold vacation photos. The Zen garden was so great, I loved to groom it-o, yes, the vacation was lovely, we stayed in our underwear for most fo the trip-hihi! I felt so alive. We had a small party when we returned to celebrate our golden anniversary! Rebecca was able to come from school and we told her all about the trip!

Archives/Technology Note: Website

Many residents have expressed confusion about the website and how often the website is updated and the difficulty in keeping up with updates. Not to mention the increased job duties of the Archives/Technology Officer (me).

As a result, the website will now be updated at least twice a month and at least one blog will be updated each day, however this will no longer be reflected be any special notation. Instead when the website is updated a list of blogs (by family) that have been updated will be listed.

This will be effective Dec 1, 2007

Summer

I love the summer and grilling, especially since we had our backyard landscaped-it may be small, but it's very nice. There are plenty of plants and a nice shady area for sitting and having conversation. S'Ahmisa loves it out here, she's always crawling after the butterflies and playing with her doll.

Older

Carmela and I talked about aging in the Homemaker's Club-she's so young-trying to have another child-I'm near elderhood myself-yikes! I wonder what the future of our hood is, I myself and working to become a bit more intergrated with this side of the hood. Thankfully Carmela didn't refuse to speak with me after the financial fiasco following mother's death. It's been humbling moving to the other side of the hood into a home not much bigger than the bedroom wing of our home. *sigh*

Hood Council Note: Publishing Hood Council Meetings

The online hood council meetings are not going well-residents are not visiting the online forum and there isn't much incentive to maintain the forum. Instead we're going to publish the notes of the hood council meetings. This will be done on the website-not a blog type posting-but actual minutes of the meetings and concerns raised.

CRUSH

I have a crush on Jesse. He's so sweet and nice and cute, he has a kid, but he's adopted and is so cute. I wonder if he will visit me again? Maybe we could take a vacation together-would that be too forward? I miss him already. I wonder if he likes me this much too.

I'm visiting him and his family for a few days, I hope they will like me.
