Greek etc

OK, so this is must be a record, I am posting AGAIN.

Today poor Shawn stayed home from our Greek lesson at the Pastor’s because he's still sick and needed more rest before going to work this afternoon. I'm a little sick too, (oops, shouldna kissed him last week) but not as bad as he is, and I don’t have to go slave at a job, I love being a homemaker/dressmaker when I want to. :D So anyway, Greek. It was grueling, we have all been sick or Greg has been traveling, so we haven’t studied for like 6 or 7 weeks straight. Last week Edgar came over and we went through some of our vocab, not really an encouraging time. Today was more encouraging. Greg took us through a lot of the rules and all of the declensions. I thought for sure that I'd forgotten everything. But after some straining of my mind, being asked the hardest questions first, it all started coming back, bit by bit, yay. :D Shawn and I need to get studying every other day at least to get back on track, and to stay on track for that matter.

While we studied, Lonna loaded my car with a bunch of stuff for Amanda, as well as a big suitcase full of hand-me-downs from Cecelia. I didn’t have time to stay at A's since Shawn was going to work, it would have been so much more fun trying on the skirts that were way too small, and the "cat woman" boots with her to laugh with me. It would have been just like old times, Amanda, our cous Jason and I used to try on grab bags. Jason, the comedian had on over his clothes, a ladies dress, a Michael Jackson red jacket, and high heeled boots, at which time some man pulled into the drive, who Jason was to help unload something. So Jason was scrambling to the door tearing of his outfit as he ran, not wanting to be caught in such a get-up. So funny, you had to be there. Now this was a long time ago, 12 years to be exact, we were being kids because we were. :D Anyway, the lady has good taste, and I did pick out several sweaters and a jacket to keep.

I am washing laundry today, woohoo. I feel like I need a nap. Thanks for listening.

So sorry you and Shawn are still sick. That is one of the longest illnesses I have heard of in a while. Shawn was already sick when we were there on Feb 5, which is 6 weeks ago today. Poor guy. I hope you guys can somehow shake this virus. It must be a strong one....Ginny
