I got bit by one of those spider creatures in the first week of last December. I was in the basement doing something unimportant and got bit. It was just above the ankle on the outside of my right leg. My eldest daughter(she who is just like her daddy) was down in January. She noted with some alarm that it looked pretty nasty. She immediately screamed for her husband,(He who cringes in the corner from fear of his wife ). Daughter never shouts when she can scream.

Hubby who is a doctor came running and I got hit with massive doses of antibiotics. He even told me what kind of spider it was. But I am like his wife... I never listen to him either. It took a month to heal and a gradually fading reddish blue spot is still visible on my leg.

I once asked my son-in-law why he worked such long and hard hours. He replied, "I just want to see if there is any standard of living YOUR DAUGHTER can't live beyond". I know it is my fault when he refers to her as YOUR DAUGHTER.

My youngest daughter was over today. She lives here in town and has been over a lot since school is out. She is an elementary teacher. She has been getting rid of her mothers clothes and other things of her Mom's we do not intend to keep.

She started about a month ago. The first day she was loading a van full of clothes for Good Will. As I was helping her she said, "I do get it honest, don't I?" I replied, "What do you get honest honey?" She said, "My love of clothes." I wisely said nothing.

Today she asked,"Dad do you have any idea of how much Mom spent on clothes?" I said, "No, honey I never paid any attention." She said, "Darn good thing."
