Arla's Aimless Anecdotes

This is my attempt to write one occasional email to various people at one time. I specifically write with my cousin Judy in mind. Since we grew up together we agreed in our teens that we'd always try to keep in contact. This is a supplement to our twice yearly phone calls and our once yearly visit at our Johanson Family Memorial Day Reunion.

Facebook

OK, from your response yesterday, “I’m happy for all of you”, I get the idea that you are interested in communicating with neither Hanna nor Vincent. I hope I will quit bugging you about it now but some of the information on Facebook is just fun. I like being able to catch up with people’s lives without much effort. And while I’m at it I might as well agree to not mention that this year is the 50th anniversary of our high school graduation. You realize that no one wants to commemorate this event without the valedictorian being there.

You do like to hear about Memorial Day I know so I can mention Jeff phoned this week to get the details of Lewis and Clark Environmental Learning Center if you can call it that. He hopes to bring his motor home and perhaps a girlfriend along with his daughter. Of course, the girlfriend is an unknown at this time but he’s working on getting one for that holiday he says. I’m sure we’ll be ready for this new one but it’s getting more difficult to keep them all straight over the years.

Lucas is keeping me entertained each morning. Today we are preparing for the school carnival by making a cake for the cake walk and crazy hair for one student. I can’t imagine that any learning will go on at school today with mullets and blue hair. And besides it is Dr. Suess’s birthday.

Miles finished up his soccer class this week which was timely as he was running amok in the gymnasium picking up the goal net and rearranging it, kicking cones, and giving orders to his teammates. He did listen to the adults however and he was out of the house for an hour so maybe he needs more sports activities.

Nancy and I are phoning daily to talk about the riots in Athens, plane crashes, and European weather in the Mediterranean. This is the best part of the trip when we have so many plans to make. It is going to be a toss up for the largest suitcase for the best dressed traveler and you and I will not be in the running. Thanks for arranging all the details for us.

If I could only believe that you will quit nagging me about Facebook and the Warden reunion.
Really I do want to spend my day clicking so as to send three grains of rice to a hungry child. Considering that there are about 1000 grains in a cup, my finger will wear out before a child gets fed. Send a check to a relief organization and spend your time in a more productive way.
Now I am feeling the pressure to get my Greece wardrobe together...my winter coat, hat and some gloves should do it.
OPA!
