English Emma Blooms

We did not get to visit any Kalinowskis or Barkers this Christmas, nor did they come to see us, but we did get to see the Claflins and the Griffees,


First the Claflins.They spent the night here on their way to Michigan from where they live in Tennessee. Adam is an OHS friend and a good one at that. He moved to Sunfield after tenth grade. I went to my first Metallica concert with him, and we used to spend a lot of time together in 9th and tenth grade. Hanging out with Adam brought back a bunch of old memories that I can't mention. It is wonderful to be back in touch. It is amazing that we still have lots in common and get alone well. What is just as great is that I love his family and so do Joel and Aaron. April is a delight and likes crafty stuff like me, and Lyalka and Mercutio are kind hearted and full of personality and curiosity, just like Joel.

I hope we have lots more visits together!

she's a clean teen!

I have an urge to clean. I don't know why, but it's not unseen.




That quote comes from a movie that I watched with Carrie A., I think.
