The Soggy Saturday Invitational
April 25, 2005 by Sue in Wielesek
The Soggy Saturday Invitational..but the stands were covered, the earnest young athletes polite, and good will aboundeth. Aric won the 400 meters handily; I think I heard that he has the fastest time in Oregon. It's fun to be able to stretch out the "kid time" of my life just a little longer. We drove over to Seraph and Robbie's, so I got some
grandma hugs. The "grandma time" of my life isn't bad either. Talked to Sadie, she and Anna decided to go with Plan A, which was Sadie staying at Williams, and Anna trying to get a job in the area.

A Friday hello - Beautiful weather, Miguel my truly wonderful worker guy is weedeating my lawn, even though I
have a little ethical twitch about it. I can tell that now the grass is so high that the deer come and hide during the day, and they won't be able to do thatwhen it's cut.
I'm getting excited to see everyone at Easter. Seraph and Robbie, bless their hearts, are coming down on Friday, hopefully with Raven and Cheike (nuts, Seraph, help me with
spelling his name)in tow. I will bring Boyfriend Bob; Yayoe
wants to see a resume for him and attorney Mary Wagner offered to do a criminal check...
He and I are going to son Aric's track meet someplace in Ptland on Saturday. Seraph, I'll call you if we have extra time. I miss Isa! Love from Mom

A little bit of crappy medical news
April 16, 2005 by Sue in Wielesek
A little bit of crappy medical news. Dr. Arbow says I have
cataracts and have to have surgery next fall. I'm going to reread the Book of Job and continue wondering how, given the
terrible genetic make-up I must have, my genes have survived this long. Must be the silent love around me, as the fortune cookie said. Thanks, silent loves.

What is with all this sunburn talk when we live in the age of ultra-block and shunning?

eeek! My sunburn is peeling off in giant flakes. The floor
around my chair looks as though a really big person with
really bad dandruff sits there.

April 11, 2005 by Sue in Wielesek
I have now told all the kids that I've been dating someone for a couple of months. They have been supportive - to a point. When I told Adam and Jamie that we weren't "doin' the dirty" as Sadie says, and weren't even kissing on the lips, Jamie sniffed and said she didn't know why I was bothering to tell them.
Anyhow, quick stats. His name is Bob Wright, he's 59, was
divorced in 1990, and has two great kids, Anna, who is a junior at the U of O,just turned 21, and Aric, who is a senior at South. He has a good relationship with his ex-wife, Debbie, who knows Jesse, mother of Caleb, Seraph's old bud. - and in fact, she remembers meeting me. Also, they were patients of Lohring's. He is an architect, having
spent most of his career working on housing for the poor and/or elderly.(as you can imagine, this won points with Sadie.) I met his extended family when his mom died- very nice people. Please wish us well.

April 06, 2005 by Sue in Wielesek
Hello, dearies, a short vacation review - into Tampa at 10:30 am on Easter, followed by an hour and a half wait for our rental car. We couldn't have planned the vacation any other time anyhow, but I had forgotten that every one in the northeast has spring vacation the week after Easter. By some quirk of fate we still got a motel in Orlando.
Monday we went to NASA and then Jenny and Dez went to Sea
World, and Tuesday was Disney World - for 13 hours. Jenny and Dez power rode everything possible, while Isa, Seraph and I moved at a more leisurely pace.Wednesday meant we extracated ourselves from Orlando traffic, no mean feat, and
went to Venice. We found Dad chipper, and to my delight, Cousin Judy came down for a day visit. We all went out to one of those funky "old Florida" fishing camps, and watched
an alligator swim by. Friday, our last day, we spent at the
beach, leaving only footsteps and taking sharks' teeth,sun burns, and sand. Saturday morning, we visited a Stallsmith cousin (about twenty times removed) in Tampa, which was just delightful. Then our evening flight home to the soggy
Northwest. I slept until 1 the next afternoon. The week was practice for my Rick Steves Death March tour next fall.
