Mess Ups

My mother has been calling a lot lately. I know she is bored and has nothing to do there in the sticks, but I'm still basically keeping her at arm's length. It seems that the things my sister "revealed" about me were actually about my step-brother, some of it things my mother already knew. I'm not sure if she misunderstood my sister, my sister was using whatever "weapon" she thought she could get her hand on or my sister felt she had the facts straight. Whatever the factor, I do know my sister did it as a result of my mother saying she was proud I was finishing my Masters degree. Oh, well.

Onward and upward, toward something not so sobering. We have a couple of new Grove ladies due to the Collyridian article, which is nice. I'm turning the Yahoo group into a newsletter format, as I had already done with the one for SoS. I need to work on both, because it's already almost the end of the month.
