Only nine more trials

January 30, 2004 by Sue in Wielesek

Only nine more trials. I have a custody trial tomorrow, two days of me providing free legal services. I hope they let me into heaven on the basis of my billing records. The spring peepers are peepering already, and my snowdrops and crocus are blooming.

The newspaper said it was 5 degrees in Hartford yesterday. What is Sadie doing there?

Betsy, Hi, I can't find your e-mail address;Ihave it somewhere. This is a really tacky, but very public, thank you for the basket o' gifts for the kids. Isa and I had a great time with them this weekend. The only problem was those little Star War Lego starfighter things, one of which I put together and the other ones of which I took to Sam to assemble. Have you noticed how smart you have to be just to survive these days? I have great pix from Florida, which I will send on.



Now is the winter of our discontent

Now is the winter of our discontent...Actually, I had a delightful weekend, having got to have Isa over night on Saturday while Seraph went to the beach with Jamie and Emma and Robbie sat quietly in a house without other people. She and I met Jenny, Sam and Adam for breakfast on Sunday morning at IHOP, along with at least half of the square dance aficionadas at the Fairgrounds this weekend.
Only 11 more trials on my calendar, but who's counting.

Dear Fam, I'm finally finding my way through the piles of work on my desk. I need to start with sad news, that Aunt June died last Sunday. She had not been well for the last couple of months, and it was probably a culmination of a lot of things. She and Dad were the last two of the Jones kids and their spouses - a bunch of funny, bright people.
Dad and I had a good trip back to Florida, in spite of the fact that the airport had been closed up until the day before we flew out. Andy was down working on the boat, and
we all got to go sailing at the end of the week. Betsy, Will and Michael arrived late on Friday evening. We went sailing on Saturday and out for a birthday dinner for Dad at the fabled Captain Eddie's, complete with cake and presents. On Sunday Betsy, Patrick and I went into Sarasota to pick up Cousin Judy Jones, and then on to the Salvador Dali museum in Tampa for the afternoon. I had not realized that he had such a range of abilities.

As you can imagine, Dad is looking forward to warm weather, but I think he will miss all the family in Oregon. Baby Emma
charmed him into a state of doting which is unusual for him with babies. We are driving to Portland on Saturday afternoon and flying out early on Sunday.

You folks back east would think of this as a skiff of snow, but we are totally unprepared for snow here. I had to clean off the windshield of the car with the top of a cake carrier. (Jenny's ex-husband made a cake and sent it along for Christmas dinner; I'm finally getting around to returning it.)
Had a wonderful time with Sadie, and I was so sad to send her back.
