Betsi, it's so good to hear all that you're doing! What a special trip! I know that we'll never go so it's nice to see all the pictures that you're taking!! I can't imagine how hard it will be to leave all the kids when it's time to go. I'd probably cry all the way home!

Gayle, i hope that Gary's better soon with the weirdness.

Janet, the strawberry pans were nice. Too bad that they weren't as nice as you'd like.

Judy, I hope that Jessie can get everything straightened out with Brandon's school. Maybe he can finish the year in summer school.

We went to Jaci and Nate's last night. They have a new restaurant that just opened up near them so we went and tried it out. It wasn't bad and will be really handy for them to go and get a hamburer sometimes. Then we went back and played cards. Jaci and I lost but we played hard! She's so much fun to play with!! We laughed the whole evening!

This morning I ran into town and went to a few garage sales. I hit a great one that had clothes for Dean!! I bought two big trash bags of clothes through size 2 to 4. They were so nice and clean and some name brand. I spent $35 and it was mostly all priced 24 cents to 50 cents!! I don't mind buying clothes and saving them if they're not too expensive because we have the basement to store them in.

Amy and Dae Lynn are working at the garden and I need to go out to the greenhouse. It got really cold last night so I need to go and check on things. The irises are blooming and sooo pretty!! I think that they're a month early this year.
