You just do that sooooo well! I'm so sorry for David.  I loved the thunder and lightning part. I swear if I could've chosen a mother it would've been mine. And I used to tell all my sister's back in the day when they were'nt paying much attention to her. She was always a blast and we talked on the phone nearly every day. And I told my mother that all the time too.

 

 

Well the first sister's dinner that we had after she passed my family were talking about finding pennies everywhere and other oddities. I"m like "Pennies? What' s the deal with that?" They said that when you find a penny that's someone that has passed trying to send you a message. Well I'll be darned at where I find them. Sometimes 7/8 in one very unlikely place. Today I found one in a bag on nails. ? I used to hate those things and literally would throw them away. And I do mean  I see them all the time now. In weird places. It brings such a warmth to my heart now. .....my mommie.

 

Now miss. You gotta tell us how life is treating you. And any other story you may remember of course!

Hope you're all doing fine, where ever you all have gone to!!

 

Stephanie and I are both doing fine, as for Mark he is doing well where he is!!

 

Well you all Take Care and hope to see you all soon, Bye-for-now, Love Kelly!!

Hey all,

Stopping in like Kelly to say hello.  Summer has a tendency to fly by and keep me pretty busy.  My girls are doing great but starting to drive me a bit crazy.  One more month until school is back in session (not that I want to rush it but...)   I'm very lucky that in the summer we seem to split our time between the beach and a small nearby lake.  Today I have decided that even though it is beautiful outside we are not going anywhere!  Let them be bored I say!

 

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well.  Loved reading everyone's stories.

 

Take Care.

Hey all,

 

This is the second time I'm trying to post this.  ARRGH.

 

Anyway,  just stopping in to say hi.  Summer has kept me pretty busy and seems to fly by.  The girls are doing great but I don't think I will be too sorry when school starts in September.  Driving me just a bit crazy but that is there job and I love them for it.

 

We are very lucky to be able to split our time during the summer between the beach and a small local swimming lake.  Today I decided that even though it is beautiful out I needed to stay home.  Let them be bored I say!

 

Congrats to Vicki and Ron on your marriage!  So exciting!

 

Loved reading all the great trip stories and Trace, as always, you are a master story teller.  Thank you.

 

Take care all.

Now it is messing with me......I checked twice and it didn't show up, now we have both.

It's so good to hear from you, hear from you, hear from you!  Any magical stories from your girls?  I truly love them.

 

Hi JP and Kelly!  I hug you tons.

Damn I never returned your call!!!!! I'm off this wkend (thank gawd!) and I swear I'll call. I feel so bad. Just so you know, I owe my son a call too. My life is crazy ok? *hugs* I swear I think it's the vacation and all the crap after. I'm not llike this usually. ....ok, maybe alittle. Met a younger man I think I may actually date. Can you believe that?!  I can't. He interests me more than any of the others.....

I'm here, I'm here!  Don't forget about me!  ; )  We've been so busy for the last week, but it really has been a great capper to the Summer.  I know I told you all the things we were going to do, well, Junior Sailing has been a joy.  We spent the entire weekend at the lake, spending the night on a friend's sailboat.  It was so much fun to watch Erin on the sunfish, along with two other girls, just having a blast.  On the second day, they did capsize recovery, and I've never rooted so hard for three girls to pull down that dagger board and get the boat righted again.  We also got to borrow sea kayaks from a friend at the lake and that was fun too.  I've decided that my new goal is to buy a sunfish and two kayaks for next summer.  I'm going on faith that I can do that AND buy a new house.  We'll see.  In the meantime, there were lots of people around on the docks, and I visited and even went sailing for awhile.  We're going up again this weekend, and will sleep over again... but this time we'll remember the pillows and blankets. ; P 

 

On Tuesday, the highlight was visiting the goat farm.  www.haystackgoatcheese.com We got to visit with all the goats, and they were so sweet.  And Erin wanted to write a report, so she brought her notebook.  We ran into the manager of the farm, and explained what Erin wanted to do, and they say down together, so that Erin could ask her questions.  We took lots of pictures and she is hoping to post a story about it online.

 

Well, that means I've forgotten to say what she did on Friday.  Erin was one of 40 kids who attended a Youth Journalism Workshop put on by the local newspaper.  She learned a lot, including how to do interviews.  The kids also learned how to post stories and photos on a community website designed for kids in the 4th to 8th grade.  For the next school year, the paper will occasionally take stroies posted on the web and print them in a weekly Colorado Kids insert in the paper.  So Erin could possibly get published in the newspaper!!

 

Tomorrow, we're headed to the county fair, although I'm just not a huge fan of fairs.  Next weekend, I'm hoping to go to the Celtic Festival with Ralph, but I don't know for sure what the timing of that will be.

 

Trace, thanks you so much for the story about David's mother.  How very, very fortunate you all were to have known her - she sounds so special.  I hope that things are going well with Shan.  And hugs to everyone -- Trace, Kelly, JP, Loretta, Vicki, KAK and eveyone else.  I love you.

You gotta let us see the clip if she gets posted. That is just too cool. How old is she now? I'm pretty impressed with her intelect. Course look who her mom is! Glad things are going so well with you. I'm just amazed at the difference in you. Once upon a time you could "feel" the weight on your shoulders. See life IS grand isn't it? And it truely is what you make of it.

How's things with you all? Hope this finds you are all doing well!!

 

Stephanie and I are both doing well, missing Mark heaps of course, speaking of Mark he is doing well.

 

Yes, I  also had a look at what Neeice's daughter Erin had written and thought that it was really good and very interesting as well. Might have a future Writer there, Neeice!!

 

Where is everyone else? Missing the likes of Vicki, I know she's a newly wed and all, but she's got to come up some time for air,LOL!! Anyway, hope that she will come along soon and say Hi!!

 

Well you all Take Care and please I know that I think of you all often, till next time, Bye-for-now, Love Kelly!!
