Yo, fam, how about a Mother's Day Bar-B-Que on my deck Sunday next (the 9th)? It would be a good time to have a little birthday soiree for Yayoe, too. I had talked with Seraph about trying to do something this Sunday. However, my tenant from the farm came in yesterday and said her business deal (starting up the Friendly Deli again) had fallen through and she was going back to Vancouver. So I'm planning a great weekend dealing with potential renters. Yucko-bunnies. Many hugs.

Sadie, does your friend need a substitute mom at graduation? (unless it's May 15th, 16th, when I need to be at a League of Women Voters thing)? It would give me an excuse to come and visit you!

Lots of news about Seraph's high school buds - dear Kai and her husband are coming back to Portland for a year while they prepare for missionary work in China, and Mollie and her partner Terry were married during the time slot Multnomah County was issuing same sex marriage liscenses. Seraph, I thought I'd send Mollie the usual friend of the family $100 check and a card. Let me know if that seems politically incorrect or way too dorky. Love to all, the old
politically incorrect mom.

April 21, 2004 by Sue in Wielesek

Sadie, what did I ever do to make you love me enough to make me such a wonderful CD - sort of a "Songs to Say Good-bye" - China, Let It Be, Iowa, Enya...Was this in trade for "The Bridge of San Luis Rey"?

This has been a weeping time; I think because the weather has been like last spring, with the sky that luminescent gray which makes the newly-green trees shine. It's funny the commoness of things I miss about Dick - holding hands as I drifted into sleep, the softness of his earlobes, or that he remembered everything and always had a pen in his shirt pocket. Hope that someday, in some life, he and I do get back from China at the same time.

I forgot to mention that Sadie and I went Goodwill shopping with Yayoe a couple of weeks ago. I am definitely a convert at the feet of the Goodwill Hunting-meister!

Thanks, Bets, on their way through the air come e-mails in Russian. Who knows, they may be from a couple of working girls, and your cleaning crew will be mortified.
Seraph is at my house this morning scraping wallpaper. The idea is to make the attic bedroom into a suitable play room when all five grandkids are at my house.

Does anybody out there in Radioland read and write Russian?
I've gotten two e-mails in Russian, and I can't tell if they are from the tour company Mary and I are going with to St. Petersburg or that the tour company sells our names and
Wielesek sounds like I should be able to read e-mails in Russian. My linguistic skills in Russian are pretty much limited to statements appropriate to the consumption of vodka.
Good weekend to all, Sue



A wonderful spring weekend in Southern Oregon

April 06, 2004 by Sue in Wielesek

A wonderful spring weekend in Southern Oregon. We saw Durrenmatt's "The Visit" in Ashland. I'm sure that was written at the beginning of the century, and certainly foreshadowed Hitler chillingly.
I had a phone call from Sadie last night, being quite under the weather.
Happy Passover; eat a lot and give my regards to Elijah.
