why is it?

Why is it that Carrie's voice got a little strident, rather than staying soft and calm as I took my first drive, around our neighborhood? I only ran up on the kerb once, and was at least three inches from cars parked on the street, and moved very slowly and carefully in front of a car turning left. Why is it that bedrooms in the houses we have looked at are a good soze for a single bed. Why is it that many four bedroom houses hoave only one toilet, eat leaslt separate from the bathroom. Why is it thalt the cell phone place closed early Saturday so we have to wait until Monday to get our phones. Enough whyos!!! We had a pretty good day. Still a little sleepy at 7 pm - dark outside by a little alfter slix. Tomorrow is EAmily's first day at school, goes a week then a two week break. The phone book has advice about what to do if there is a flood, tsunami, volcanic eruption and world-wide disease outbreak. People put the clothes dryer outside in the carport in case it' coatches on fiore, I think. I bought some Hush Puppy black slip on schoes yesterday - very flash! Many people here wear black clothes. We finally got the dvd player working, sort of - has many parallel vertical stripes and an odd color. IF you close one eye and look at it from an angle not too bad. My goals this week are to practice driving, find a physician, get my hearing aids cleaned and have a consultatioon with a physical therapist. What are yours, dear reader? Manford
