In the final scheduled game between Kansas and Missouri, it was only fitting the two bitter adversaries would need five extra minutes to decide it.

Robinson’s three-point play in the waning moments of regulation kept their 105-year-old rivalry alive, and Taylor’s foul shots with 8.3 seconds remaining gave the fourth-ranked Jayhawks a dramatic 87-86 victory over the No. 3 Tigers on Saturday. GREAT GAME!!! ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

Boys basketball sectionals began. Clyde Savannah won their first game to Kendall (67-57) but lost their second game to Honeoye (65-68). Kameron had a great season. Nana said Kam did great in the game.

The chronic nature of drug addiction means that relapsing to drug abuse is not only possible, but likely. Relapse rates for drug addiction are similar to those for other well-characterized chronic medical illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma, which also have both physiological and behavioral components. Treatment of chronic diseases involves changing deeply imbedded behaviors, and relapse does not mean treatment failure. For the addicted patient, lapses back to drug abuse indicate that treatment needs to be reinstated or adjusted, or that alternate treatment is needed.

This is a tough road for Darian and Kris so prayers are needed now as well as encouragement and support.

Today I talked to Kelsie, a couple of weeks ago I told her I was mailing her a music CD. I got busy and have not done it (bad Lala) and today she asked me, “How’s that CD coming along?” Mind like a trap. I will have it done tonight and in the mail Monday. Lesson: Don’t say it unless you plan to do it. Package ready to mail tomorrow morning- leave it to the little ones to keep us honest!

Kelly, Rob and Nick took Katie to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls for her birthday. Hope all had a great trip!

Look at the web page- there is a new link to Kevin & Kristie’s wedding information.

Beth did a great job on the web design and it has all the information on the wedding and the receptions. Beth did a fantastic job- Thanks so much Beth for helping to keep us all informed.

Kameron (who is a sophomore) was a unanimous pick among all the coaches to be on the Wayne County All Star team…Congratulations Kam!

Saturday was the Father-Daughter dance. Bob and Delaney attended and had a great time. Beautiful as always!

A typical family move- from car (or jeep) to a van! Better for kids, dogs and people in general…hope you love it!

Linda is in the hospital. She got worse this weekend. Every time she gets up her blood pressure drops, she feels like she is going to pass out. Her Dr. said enough and admitted her today. Running many tests. Not Influenza A, no infection, giving her breathing treatments every 4 hours and pumping liquids in her, will have a heart echo tomorrow to see if there are any problems there. Her heart is acting like it did before her ablation several years ago. As yucky as it all sounds- it is where she needs to be. She has been sick since around December 15- she said enough!

Still waiting on results of the heart echo but they are changing some medication she is on and they want to see how she will do. Dr. wants her to stay one more day- she wants to go home- waiting till later today to see how she is doing on new meds and test results. Either way- she will be off work the rest of the week. She has had 4 breathing treatments and 2 full bags of fluids/nutrients. Father Ed and Jan are taking care of Bear today so he is not alone and I am at work where over 1/3 of our teachers and kids are out sick. One school district closed yesterday due to the flu. Today is suppose to be 60 degrees in Kansas City.

She is home, new meds, off all week, all test came back ok. Will be changing our diet(salt is an issue) and watching things…

Another win…Clyde won 60-38 against North Rose- Wolcott.

Kelsie (along with Mim, Clark & Sue) made rice crispy treats for the JV & Varsity basketball teams!

Kelsie is also selling Girl Scout cookies if you need any!

Farley and Nana are going to the gym together- way to go!

For Kay…

For Kris…

What’s up with you?

Wish I could go to sleep early and sleep!

Darian decided she wanted a new job- landed one her first day! Congratulations!!!

Job feel through- told her she had it and then gave it to someone else…good thing you don’t work there- I’d worry about them confusing my check with someone else. Remember: Good things come to those who wait (and those who beat the pavement!).

• Kam’s team lost at East Rochester (who they beat at home).

• Kelsie had her birthday movie party. She and some friends saw  ”Chip-wrecked”. They had great fun.

• Karen and Linda are recovering. Linda from a very bad case of bronchitis and Karen from a head cold. Also baking lots of yummy things (see previous posts for pictures).

• I want a brick oven at my home to cook with! We can all dream…

• Speaking of dreams-I heard shouts all the way from Orchard Street after NY Giants won in OT! Super Bowl Baby!!!

• What’s up with you?

We did puzzles, played with Bear, ate Oreo cookies, laughed, joked, watched football, saw “Joyful Noise”, ate out, ate in, had chocolate covered strawberries that stuck to the plate, drank lots of wine, had mimosas, laughed some more & had a GREAT time! Thank you Kay & Delaney for the best gift ever and Kris for the icing on top! I love you.

Oh what a weekend we had… great trip but too short!

Kay & Delaney left this morning on time at both places so will be home on time.

Kay & Delaney were delayed this morning on their trip to Kansas City. Their 9:50 am flight left Rochester at 1:19 pm (above picture what it looked like when they finally left). She changed her connecting flight to 3:30 pm to arrive in Kansas City at 5:00 pm. Fingers crossed we get out of Detroit!

Made it to Detroit but missed the 3:30 pm flight to Kansas City. They are now on a 5:30 flight here…long day!

Oh no…the flight went to Minneapolis, then to Kansas City. The got into Kansas City at 8:30 pm. Their bags however just got here at 4:00 pm the next day.

Kris is now here with out incident!!!

In a battle for first place in the Wayne County League, the host Lyons Lions declawed the Cyde-Savannah Golden Eagles, 71-59, before a soldout crowd in the Lyons gymnasium on Friday night.

Both teams are now 8-1 on the season. DiSanto led the Eagles with 14 points!

Get out your winter gear- Kansas City weather is going to change this week. Temperatures which have been in the mid 50′s will dip into the mid 20′s by Thursday. We are getting a cold front and a windy cold artic blast.

The visitors I will have at my house this upcoming weekend! Can’t wait.

Canon EF 50mm f1.4 portrait  lens- ordered. I will break it in this weekend!

Cleaning closets, thorough dusting, prepping my food cupboard- 1/2 day off on Friday, Monday is a holiday…come on Friday!

What’s up with you?
