Tuesday, St. Patrick's Day, March 2009

My children all have Irish names: Keri, Kelli and Kirk. Somehow, they all got my brown eyes. Oh, well! Keri and Kevin went to Ireland for their honeymoon. Maybe I will visit there myself in the future.

I have a lingering cold that is sapping my energy. The doctor swabbed my throat on Saturday and told me that I don't have strep throat. Yeah! The lab will watch my culture to see whether I need anti-biotics or not. I haven't missed any classes because there are no subs available. In a way, I think it has been good for me! Keeps me going!

I taught my class on Sunday, played a duet with Bill for worship and then just sat and listened to the choir practice. They are singing with a CD and it sounded wonderful!!!

Janice called yesterday. (She is a manager at the unemplyment office in Springfield.) Noel went to see his new heart specialist at St. John's yesterday. The doctor put a monitor on him and told him to walk briskly. While he was walking, Janice got a call that her mother had been rushed to ER at the same hospital. Noel walked back to the hospital but couldn't make it up the stairs. Bottom line....Noel's pace maker has been re-adjusted and he is feeling better. Janice's Mom is still in the hospital. We will be going to Springfield on Thursday morning and stay the weekend.
