My grandmother and mom are trying to leave Chicago today. They might have to drive it if they don't get on a plane. They planted a ton of plants on my patio but they will probably all die in my very uncapable hands. Mom thinks everyone is flying to Memphis for Memphis in May and to eat ribs. I don't blame them at all.

We also had a leaky ceiling in the basement this weekend. It was the toilet (gross). We wouldn't have noticed it if my grandmother hadn't been sewing me up a very cute retro dress. We took the toilet apart, cut a hole in the ceiling and then fixed everything. It doesn't leak anymore! Everyone was curious if Martin could get the toilet back in place on the first try. Several folks told us we would need two wax rings. Well, so far so good and now we need to get the ceiling repaired in the basement and the tools put away.
My cousin Katy graduated last night in Naperville. There were fireworks and a lot of names. She had almost 800 students in her class. She will be going to school in Mississippi, like the rest of the family.
Some other things I've added to my list for the summer include:
* Getting the pool ready
* Taking a pottery class at the local community college.
* Training a new person at work.
* Buying a new car. Did I mention that already?
