Joanna sung at the solstice celebration at church last night. It was lovely and well received.

5K!
September 27, 2013 by Adam in Joanna
 Joanna ran a 5K last weekend, and just found a photo today. None of us managed to get out to cheer her on, but she powered through and made it to the end with only slightly sore legs for a couple days.
Now that school has started, she's managed to get back into the exercise routine, watching The Americans on the exerpod in the basement.
Good job, sweetie!

I have three mothers-in-law
July 27, 2013 by Joanna in Joanna
I am blessed by many things -- including having three lovely mothers-in-law. I went out today for a long, leisurely lunch with two of them: Sue and Yayoe (listed in chronological order of marriage to Lohring). This must be what it's like to be retired!
It was enjoyable to have lots of adult conversation about intelligent things and to talk about life and family. Then I did useful things like get the oil and transmission fluid changed in the minivan.
In other news, I successfully made jam with 6 lbs of figs (I counted how many ounces of jam that made, but now I've forgotten) and Adam came home with 8 lbs of plums from a coworker. Now you know what you're getting for Christmas.
Life after PeaceHealth is quite pleasant so far. I have long lists of things to do -- personally, for the house and garden, and to start a consulting business. My goal is to do at least one thing from each list every day, along with exercise and get 10,000 steps over the course of the day. So far, I've been completely successful. I figure as a self-motivated, highly-productive person I'll be fine getting things done and not falling into a vat of apathy.
Tonight is pizza and "science-show-of-the-week" night, with a hopefully delicious quiche for me and Adam. Being at home also allows my culinary skills to flourish as I have more than 30 minutes to make meals.

We Have a Winner!
June 02, 2013 by Adam in Joanna
 Joanna spent last night at a casino, part of a work event in Florence. Admittedly it's a little weird that she went, considering she's going to be let go at the end of the month, but it's been planned for a long while. In any case, I understand she took pictures and will write it up for a presumed future article to donors.
She did bid on one of the silent auction gift packages, presumably because she couldn't resist the lure of yarn. She ended up with a whole bunch of yarn related things that she wants to play with. I think the chair is going to Craigslist, though.

Joanna got a call from an Indian fellow claiming we had computer problems. She played along.
