miscellaneous

isn't that the category it seems like so many things fall into?  we don't like things not being categorized, so we come up with a category to catch all that stuff that doesn't fall into any others.  we are such little squirrels sometimes storing up our nuts for winter!

first thing, please say a prayer for all the troops who were deployed yesterday.  a friend of mine's hubby left for iraq yesterday.  they have 2 little girls. also pray for the families who stay here and take care of business every day so that they can go off and do their jobs. and especially, thanks Eric and Shannon for what you do every day, with love and grace.  you both are amazing.

second thing, i think the bubonic plague has officially left my little household.  006 went back to school today.  he still coughs quite a bit going in and out so i hope he will do ok once he gets in and settles down.  since we are having a torrential downpour i don't have to worry about him going out over recess.  just hope he remembers to give the teacher his note so he can take his medicine.  he can remember to make his bed without being told, but getting notes to the teacher is another thing.  my pastor said she used to have the same trouble when she was a kid and her mom would pin them to her coat.  not a bad idea...

had coffee with mark at modoc's always so much fun.  get to catch up, have a good cup of coffee (and it was free cause i had a full punch card!) and just watch the scenery.  and by scenery i mean the guys working on the charley creek inn across the street.  hummmm.....

anyway, if you are in wabash, stop by modoc's.  one of the best coffee shops ever.  hands down.  better than starbucks.  trust me, i love starbucks, but modocs is even better... prices are better, coffee is better, and the service is well, just down-home!  and you can follow them on facebook if you'd like, just search for modoc's market.

i see the eagle's theatre has astro boy playing.  think we'll go tomorrow or sunday to see it.  they have a weekend matinee at 2pm.  i like the eagles for several reasons.  first of all, it's an old vaudeville theatre.  my dad used to go to it growing up, it was a movie theatre then too.  second, they still have the old bulb marquee out front. totally retro. third, they have a balcony. fourth, main floor is $4, balcony is $5, it's cheap.  it's local, totally love that.  i like supporting local businesses.  ok, i know i have a pix somewhere, but can't find it.  probably on my external at home.  if i find it, i'll post it.

well, i think that is it.  going to FISH again to pack.  we did 14 families last week.  the rain always seems to make less, we'll see about today.  then it is off to kroger, and then home to work on class kits before the boys get home. tonight is pizza and movie night.  we tried to watch chamber of secrets last night, but neither my dvd player or my laptop would read the disk very well.  we missed A LOT of chapters.  we were so mad.  i got them from our local video store.  but i signed up for netflix.  this breaks my heart (see my comment about supporting local stuff) but this is not the first movie, in fact almost all the movies we've gotten there skip horribly.  i know it is not my drives because my discs work fine.

hope this post finds you well... elle
