I'm looking over a field but I'm not on the Farm. My daughter and I are at a Cincinnati Reds game.

How fun! Are you going to get some ice cream in a hat?

It seems that things break down when I'm on my own. Today I wandered downstairs for quality time with my cat, when I saw water on the floor. We had an on-demand water heater installed and it sprung a leak. I turned it off, unplugged it and turned off the water. Then I mopped and turned on the dehumidifier. Luckily it hadn't spread too far, but there's probably water under the cabinets.
My husband is in Florida dog sitting, and he had been concerned about the water heater breaking. It's just machine malevolence that made it go kaput the day before he returns.

I have to tell you about my sweetie. During a big storm, one of my clothesline posts was damaged. He's never liked the clothesline, but today he is taking down the old ones and will install new posts.
I will keep him.

God has decided to close one chapter in my life. My boss came in to the newspaper office today and told my coworker and I that our paper and his other one in Pendleton County, are suspended. Costs have gone up and advertising is down. He held out the possibility of resuming the papers.
I have mixed feelings- we will be ok, but my coworker needs a new job quickly. The paper has been published under different owners since 1927 and i will miss covering the county's news. On the other hand, I will finally be able to relax and enjoy a vacation.

Vanessa -- Condolences on losing your newspaper and congratulations on retirement. It is a hard time for newspapers large and small now. Ours is now half the size and costs twice as much. People are getting the big news via tv and internet but the local news and the feeling of community is being lost. On the other hand, retirement is great.

Oh Vanessa, I am so sorry to hear about your job. Hopefully this new vacation will be good for you and you can enjoy yourself. I hope your co-worker can find a new job soon. It's sad she has to deal with this struggle when she only had one year left. Big hugs.
