St. Paul the Apostle Church in Vegas

Yes, there are churches in Vegas. People do live basic, normal lives in Vegas and they need spiritual sustenance. St. Paul the Apostle Church is a good place to find it. After a day of travelling that started at 2 am, AJ picked me up at the airport and showed me what his life in Vegas is all about. We grabbed a lunch then went to his lovely apartment surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. The heat is oppressive here. Imagine opening the door to the oven when baking. That's going outside in Vegas. AJ took me to my hotel room then went to pick up Mia and their father. I almost got a nap, but spending time with my kids was more important. We rushed over to St. Paul's Orthodox Church where AJ conducted services. St. Paul's is a delightful sensory experience, with beautiful icons of saints and angels everywhere along with incense and the lovely aroma of beeswax candles. The choir and clergy chant every word spoken in the service, very mesmerizing and soothing. After the service we joined Eric and Annie and AJ's friend Mitch at the Ellis Island Casino for dinner. They wanted to hear about Hannah and Luke back at the farm, now in the care of Matt and Izzy. Back at the hotel Mia and I put our slinky satin pajamas on and proceeded to chat into the night. I got a couple of hours of sleep but here I am, up and awake. I think it's 5 am Vegas time, (8 am farm time)and we have to be in church at 8:30. I better try to get some shut eye. Long service today with a reception afterward followed by a barbecue at Father John's house. AJ will be wearing his brand new vestments.

Russell Brand To Play Sparrow's Brother In "Pirates 5"?

A few years back, before "Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" went into production, Russell Brand was rumored to be taking part in the film. He confirmed that he was in talks with the studio, but couldn't do it because he was working on "Get Him To The Greek".
Now, according to movie insiders, Brand is said to be in talks again for a role in the next "Pirates" film. He's in talks for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow's younger brother. All we need is the mother and the family is complete. We have Johnny Depp as Jack, Keith Richards as his father and now the rumor of Russell Brand playing his younger brother.........AWESOME!!!!

Luke's Socks

Annie knits the most beautiful little socks for Luke. I can hardly stand to see him running around barefoot in them on the floor, but they are so well constructed out of good wool they wear very well. I hate to wash them as I don't want them to get lost or fade, so I pick the hay and dirt out. They never smell as wool absorbs odors so well. Luke loves his socks and appreciates his mommy's work with love in every stitch. Hot and humid here today with grey skies. I fear the dog days of August are upon us. The hillside is grazed down except for a few sections of lush greenery and the top piece. August is when the hurricanes start coming up the coast bringing rain and weather that is not good for hay making. The rams have to come out now or I will surely have lambs this winter and I want to take a year off. Last winter with the weather and birthing/handling issues put a sour taste in my mouth for lambing. I have some old moms I'm attached to and they shouldn't be bred. I want to keep Zack, my new purebred Border Leicester ram as he is more like a dog than a ram and has a lovely, thick curly fleece - just in case. I have another gorgeous 2 year old black BFL/Merino ram with a big, bulky build and thick fleece I am going to offer to Shepherd Mary. She still has my purebred Bluefaced Leicester, Wooster, who is bred out by now. I'll be getting ready to fly out to Las Vegas early in the AM. AJ, or I should say Father Aaron, is being ordained again at his church in Las Vegas. Army people from his National Guard outfit will be there as AJ is a full time chaplain for the state of Nevada. He sent me a ticket and I want to be supportive. Mia, Eric and Annie will be there too. I'll be able to see AJ's brand new vestments, his nice apartment, and meet people from the Orthodox Church where he is an assistant pastor. I have to connect through Newark on the way there, and connect through Cleveland on the way back. Matt is taking care of Hannah and Luke here on the farm. They have a big job to do, taking care of all these critters. I have the larder stocked with Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes, Coca-Cola and Sprite. Wish I could take them with me but I don't think they would like spending two days on planes with one day in church in-between. Mia and I will room together which will be a real treat as we catch up on girlfriend news, hospital stories, etc.

Enter Beastie Boy

Sean Redmond says I never say anything nice about his father. Matt found me sitting on the sidewalk in Morristown with my furniture in a pile, a couple of dogs with ropes around their necks, some cats in cardboard boxes, and absolutely nowhere to go. He moved me to a shack in western New Jersey and helped me get my life back together. Matt told me he was a carpenter and built houses during the 20 years he lived in Austin, Texas. I thought those skills might come in handy. I told him I would marry him if he would wear a kilt and paint his face blue on our wedding night. He said the kilt was as far as he would go. I found the kilt in Kearny, at the Argyle Restaurant where they serve haggis dinners and hold Robert Burns poetry readings. Matt's outfit rental cost a fortune, more than my beautiful silk gown, purchased from the shop across the street from the church in a bargain basement sale. The lovely forest green bridesmaids gowns were rejected by a bride who didn't like the color. I got them for a song. We were married a couple of months after we met. Can you see the fear in my smile? It must have been those homemade Celtic gang tatooes he was covered with, and the cousin who tried to recruit him for some Irish "political activities" when we saw him at a family wedding. I've kept him fairly busy and out of trouble these last 12 years.

A Beautiful Day

What a perfect day for visiting with old friends. Twenty years have gone by but it didn't matter at all. It was if it had only been months. I wish they could have stayed longer. We looked around the farm then sat in the hay mow for a while before climbing up to the pond. The boys played on the round bales then jumped in for a swim while the grownups chatted. I wished the day would never end. Sally Zuck visited the home of her family in Richfield Springs near here, where her Patriot ancestors fought the British. David Zuck said he finally got the photographs he's always wanted of upstate New York from the top of my hill. Alice Revere, their daughter, recently lost her husband. I was able to talk to her about her tragic loss in person. It was wonderful watching Alice's boys, Seth and Silas, play with Luke. Tomorrow the family heads to West Point to visit their son, Jesse, who was my son, Eric's, friend from Army days. Then they head back home to their farm in Midlothian, Virginia. I wish them safe travel and am so happy they came to visit.

Mixed Bag

I knew it couldn't last. Yesterday I was floating on air, I don't remember being so supremely happy in a long time. The glorious summer weather, Hannah and Luke here with me, no school pressures, old friends coming to visit today, on and on. Then it started sometime after 4 am this morning when I swung my legs over and stepped flatly on my glasses that the cats knocked onto the floor. I tried to twist them back into place but they are not right and I have to strain to see. I got some animals fed, walked dogs, talked to Luke when he woke up and put on his favorite cartoons. I thought I better get dressed, which means exercises first. My routine consists of going into the bathroom where I am free from cats, dogs, kids, and other distractions, starting the bath tub (trickling water calms me and helps me with the yoga/ballet component of my beauty regimen) putting the little fan on, and generally calming myself. The high window sill is just right to put my leg up and I can see the tops of the pines and sky. I go into my "alternate state" and stretch those muscles. When I'm done I sink into the water. After some time I thought I should check my water and it was ice cold. With my funky electric I have to flip a lever every time I dry clothes in the dryer or sparks fly. That turns off the hot water heater, and I have to remember to flip it back or - ice cold water. Guess who forgot to flip the lever last night. Then the phone rang. It is my Commanding Officer from school. "We want you to come upstairs and work your magic," or something like that. I loved my room, I loved my routine, I thought I had finally arrived at the perfect schedule and position for me, in a lovely far-end classroom where I had my teacher-friends down the hall, and everybody left me alone. Now it's a whole new bag. Thankfully she is letting me keep The Amazing Robin, my trusty aide, or I would be psychotic myself. I try to look at my job as a military post, where you know it won't last so you enjoy it and do your best, and if it's not working out you just wait for a better post to come along, but I really liked what I had. Maybe the water is hot and I can get my beauty routine done and end it with my soak in the big old claw-foot tub. Summer might as well be over as I'll worry about my new job, with a psychologist in the room at all times for the very troubled kids, with no Grooveshark and where everyone can see what I'm showing the kids on the Smart Screen. Okay just deal with it.

Surprise Visit

I've been doing a lot of reminiscing lately and I'll be doing a lot more. When Eric went to military school I became friendly with some of his friends who would visit me in Morristown. One of them, Jesse Zuck, lived in Midlothian Virginia. I had not been in touch with them for many, many years and wondered what happened to them. The miracle of the internet recently brought some of us together again. Jesse's mother, Sally Zuck, has a brother in Brookfield and is here visiting. She and her daughter Alice will be coming over tomorrow to see the farm and catch up on events. I'm very excited to see them. So much water under the bridge.
