Continuing from my Easter post. Apparently I hadn't gotten free tickets to see Nate Ruess (Fun) at that point. Margaret and I both had the email when we were up there so we both reserved them. I think it was a week later we went and took Carol and Leah with us. What a fantastic show!

Since then things have been nuts. I volunteered a tiny bit at St. Mary-St. Michael's. I helped out at one bingo. Then we got a new pastor -- Chris Tiano so I told him I want to start going back to church but want to volunteer -- a little. So he told me to come talk to him. Went this past Thursday. The rectory is so different. I miss the old one. This one is too stark. Not majestic like when I worked there. Anyway we decided I'd be volunteering in Social Justice ministry. That will be good.

Then Thursday night around quarter to 1, a woman came flying down 34, texting and driving and wiped out four cars -- including mine and Carols. Totaled ours. I had to take Friday off and we got rentals. I'm currently driving a 2016 Ford Fusion which is awesome. But when this gets taken care of (I'm calling a lawyer tomorrow) I'm going back to my old junkers.

Yesterday was Eco Fest and I'm in love with a new band - Creamery Station. It's the son of Jimmy Kader from the Bernadettes and Jimmy and Don (the harmonica player) are in it too. They are really really good.

Oh and Rita wants us to move into the apartment. I told her I can't do that - first because I have a lease (thank God!!!) and secondly  I can't take the chance of  being kicked out. She said it would be for life but I know my sister! I told her we'd talk after the holidays when my lease is close to being up.

Anthony doesn't call me or come down. I miss him so much. Carol won't let me tell him about Allena's kindergarten graduation and that's going to hurt him and the feud will continue. And I can't get involved or I'll go nuts. I hate this so much. Allen would have hated it.

And Carol has decided to become a Buddhist - which might be a good thing. Maybe that will stop her feuding with her brother. LOL!
