lots of typing

Here is Troy working hard in Delaware.  A few rooms like this were their offices for the past couple weeks at a hotel in Delaware.  They've finished things up and will hear the Judge's ruling in a few weeks.  I think it would be stressful to be a litigator and have to wait for the rulings after all the work you've put into the trial.  

I spent my week typing away.  Three years ago I spent every Monday for a few months interviewing and tape recording my Great Grandmother, so we could record her history.  I really enjoyed it and it's been fun to listen to the tapes.  I had typed up the first tape that year and then our hard drive crashed and no one could retrieve anything off of it and I sort of lost my momentum with the project.  About a year later I got six of the eight tapes typed and then I haven't done anything with it for the past year.  So I decided I needed to finish it now that the kids are in school and I have some quiet afternoons.  And, yeah, they are all typed up.  Now they need a bit of rearranging and editing and I'd like to add some pictures and my mom even mentioned adding recipes.  So I have a bit more to do, but it feels great to have the foundation finally done.

Hurray for Carlin. She called me (her Mom) to tell me she had finished Grandma's history and TOLD ME IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, she was not going to do mine or her dad's, we were on our own and had better get busy. And of course, I started as soon as she hung up??!!**(() xoxoxo Mom T
