Mom says

HEY YOU GUYS!!  

KRISTI - TOOK YOUR CAR FOR A SPIN - DIDN'T THINK IT COULD DO 95 MPH, BUT IT DID PRETTY GOOD. I THINK WE CAN FIX THE DOOR AND THE BUMPER - AIN'T TOO BAD. SO THAT'S WHAT AN EMPTY TRUNK LOOKS LIKE. LOOKS PRETTY ODD TO ME. 

JUDY AND STEVE - BEEN PLAYING THE MARINES HYMN ON MY Q-CHORD - THE NEIGHBORS WANT TO KNOW IF I KNOW ANY OF THE OTHER BRANCHES OF SERVICE. YOU MEAN THERE IS SOME!!!!!! HAVEN'T SEEN BILLY AND THERESA FOR A WHILE, BUT SHE SURE LOOKED GOOD THE LAST TIME I SAW HER. 

JAMIE - WHAT COLOR IS YOUR YOLK, IS IT A DOUBLE ONE. I THINK WE SHOULD ALL GO UP 

TO DAN AND COLLEEN'S WHEN STEVE AND JUDY COME UP. I'LL BET COLLEEN WOULD LIKE TO COOK US A BIG MEAL. 

KRISTI - TALKED TO PAT ANTONY THE OTHER DAY, OR DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT ALREADY. YOU GUYS ALL HAVE TO COME TO MY HOUSE SOMETIME. YOU KNOW THEY MADE IT NOW SO THAT THE ROAD IS THE SAME DISTANCE WHEN YOU DRIVE OUT THERE AS WHEN I DRIVE UP HERE.  

DONNA AND LYLE ARE COMING UP THIS SUMMER AND THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A 65TH BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR HIM AT BARB AND BOB'S. SOMETIME IN AUGUST. APRIL IS PREGNANT SO DONNA IS FINALLY GOING TO BE A GRANDMA TO ONE OF HER NATURAL CHILDREN.

GRANDMA DORIS

Hello from the Atlantic Ocean....

It was 48 degress in the morning and the beach was deserted.

That lovely blackness is the ocean...it was about midnight and COLD.

We had a visitor

We had a visitor tonight bearing good-news and bringing gifts.

Jamie finished her last finals for this semester.

This last picture is proof positive that going to school turns you into an egg head.

First day of baseball

Josh had 4 pitches, 1 was foul ball and the last pitch was a solid line drive between the pitcher and 3rd baseman. He got a single out of it. I naturally was more excited about it than the calm, and cool Josh.

I couldnt be out done by my Older Sister!!

whew....I think I can add Tech Support back to my title :) Stan and I were just hanging out last night so I thought it might be fun to see if we could get a video from my camera to post.

Because sometimes we forget...

Learning a new skill

I've made it back to the UK

Just a quick note to everyone that I am back in the UK. The flight was uneventful other than sitting on the tarmac for an hour once we landed at Heathrow - too many planes, not enough gates and baggage belt issues...blah...blah...blah - i was wanting off that place to see my sweetie.

After going through customs, finding the luggage carousel, waiting for my bag...ugh, finally there it is. I walk through the gate named "Nothing to Declare" - which wasnt actually true, as I wanted to declare that Heathrow needs HELP! But anyway there he was waiting for me with big smiles :) He cleaned the cottage so nicely and had fresh roses waiting in vase for me. Stan made a great dinner, consisting of duck with a shrimp in tarragon white sauce, accompanied with a vegetable medley and truffle risotto. It was fabulous!! It's good to be with my sweetie again

Hope you all are having a great Sunday ;)
