hi there again

When I was at the Catholic store, there were several
nuns in habits,etc. you don't see that too often.
Well, one small and thin nun had HUGE feet...
well, they looked HUGE because she was wearing really
wild (several colors) bulky athletic shoes. I got the quiet giggles.
wonder why she didn't just buy plain black ones.

I'm sure her attire would have made a great greeting card photo.

hi there Alisa
here it is from Julian's page:
Ok, you guys all say you want to make a difference . A lot of you believe Obama is the answer to all our problems ( please dont start a political debate on here ...) . He is given us one more chance to ask him questions .

AJ's dad and all of us cancer parents want to ask him this :


"Childhood cancer is the #1 killer disease of our kids: 46 are diagnosed & 7 die each day. Additional funding is needed for research into better treatment options. Will you include funding in your budget to prioritize research to save our kids?"

Please VOTE for OUR question !!! DO NOT WRITE UP ANOTHER QUESTION AND DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THIS ONE AS A NEW QUESTION !!!!! or we will not make it to the first top 10 united under one question !!! This is very important !
To vote it to the top,
1 - go to: http://change.gov/page/content/openforquestions20081229/

2 - register

3 - search for childhood cancer

4 - to vote for it, click the checkmark, NOT the X
Tell everyone you know to vote for it. "

hi there family
yippee... yesterday I found two Candy Cane Crosses.
We have about four major Christian stores here. I went to
three of them after I opened your cross. but, had no luck
finding any. So, I went to the Catholic Supply Center.
They also had a Childhood Cancer Bracelet, but the beads on it
were more amber color than gold. So, I asked if they had any
other childhood cancer items. She found a SunCatcher angel,
but again the gold ribbon was really amber. so I didn't buy it.
But, at least, things are being made.
yesterday on Julian's page was something I was going to copy for
you, will do it now, and come back.

just opened my cute hummingbird coasters... super since
I think I set a record on hummingbird sightings this year.

lots of love from.... Mrs. Pam

hi there family
wellllllllllll... I didn't do any reading yesterday.
Gayle and Kate came around 10, and she fixed my screen and sound,
but could not create address labels. apparently, I need office-works or
something. not that important anyway. but I also need to buy speakers
if I really want to hear because even with my hearing aids, I have no clue.
so, around 4:30, I called the sewer folks to see when they were coming.
I was told they had already been there, but I wasn't home. hmmm
obviously, it was not put on the order that deaf lady needed them to
bang on the door. so, they came back at 5:30. just thankful that
all is well, but a little bummed that I didn't do much yesterday.

ALISA, YOU ARE AMAZING! YOU FOUND A NATIVITY THAT I DON'T HAVE...
NOT EVEN ANYTHING CLOSE. VERY, VERY CUTE. THANK YOU. I'm thinking
that it would be neat if I could display lots of my Nativities at church
next year in fellowship hall, but since 'we' don't decorate for Christmas
until after the last Sunday in Advent, it is hardly worth it. of course, I haven't
proposed this idea to anyone. I sorta missed seeing all of my nativities this
year, although I probably have about 20 out.

I am very excited today because I am going to have lunch with Mrs. Pryibil.
I see her about once or twice a year, and I miss her!

hi there familly
yippee... I opened the book Grace today,
and I will definitely be reading it tomorrow. I'm impressed
that it was autographed.
we had REALLY wild rain yesterday, and it made me nervous.
but the basement only leaked a little, and I was able to keep
up with it, and the sewer was fine. however, this morning when
I went down, I saw that the sewer had back up a couple of inches,
and stopped. so, I couldn't decide if I need to be nervous or not.

I went to church and left after the sermon and anthem, and came home,
and the sewer was status-quo. so, I have the roto=rooter folks
scheduled for tomorrow. hence, time to read. and kate never came
yesterday, so maybe she'll come tomorrow.

am getting ready to go to Marge's for her family Christmas dinner/party.

right now my day is on hold because
Kate Guthrie is going to come over and
try to fix my screen so that it can be full size, and to
see if she can fix it so I can print address labels.

last night I taped Doc Hollywood, and I just watched it...
except for the END... so many commercials that my tape ran out.
oh well, at least I got to see the cute pig.

I opened the cute doggy music box from Willie and Maddie,

I guess you're all excited about Santa arriving, Kayla has just phoned to let me know that she is tracking Santa on the Internet, he's already been to Australia where her cousins are. They both want to get into their PJ's now as they can hardly wait.
Alisa,
Kenny got his surprise package, and he loves it. Thank you.
We've been trying to phone but we keep getting a message saying that the number we dialled is not recognised, could you e-mail it to me? thanks.

Hi there Devin
are you home?
i wrapped presents for 3 1/2 hours yesterday for Margie,
and went back this morning for another 3 hours of wrapping.
I told her next year that I would start wrapping in October. Since
she can't drive, she orders all of her presents from catalogs, so it
is not like she was doing last minute shopping. She has four children.
and lots of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Good morning Devin and Kara and family,

Seattle is trying to catch up with the rest of the nation in regards to snow, ice, wind, and just plain "stuck" at home and in the elements outside.

I wish I could even write an essay - but to win a prize is just wonderful. Congratulaions! Whatever piece of furniture you chose, I will try it out when again in SLC.

I talked to your Gma last night - she was busy. Wrapping packages! Can you believe it!



An experience to be in a math program in San Diego, huh? And to go to Sea World - hey, I "wanna" go to Sea World too!
Am sure your mom will write about your trip - and - about your trip to the furniture store.

Hi there Alisa
Where did you get the cross? I'd love to get some
for some very special Pen Pals. Last week on Aven's
page, mom Heather said that the book "The Legend of
the Candy Cane" was Aven's favorite Christmas story.
Daughter Claudia (this is the family that I took to the Zoo last
summer with Steven) didn't remember the book. but mom
has a picture reading it to both children. anyways, she said
that she cried as she was reading it to Claudia. I did a library serach for
it, but it wasn't there. I told them that in the guestbook. This morning
I opened my mail from yesterday., and there was THE BOOK sent
from Aven's family. WOW!! of course, I had to cry a little bit. It is a
beautiful book!!!

lots of love from.... Mrs. Pam
- Sunday, December 21, 2008 8:37 AM CST
hi there Alisa
I forgot to say THANK YOU FOR THE CANDY CANE CROSS!!

between the books. I took Mrs. Guthrie's to school and put it
in her Sunday School room, so she will get it tomorrow.

hi there Devin
yippe... the cookies are here! I looked like a maniac
trying to open those boxes. Wow., Maddie and Willie have
been shopping big time overtime! THANKS, Alisa!!!!

i got all the books addressed with my card attached, and thought
I'd be delivering today. 8 out of 11 kiddos live off of Craig Road.
I mailed Brynn's because she just moved way west. So, this morning I
went to school to make a bulletin board for church.. it turned out very
cute. Then I went to church to put it up because I won't be there tomorrow
because I'll be at Mt. Zion singing with the choir for the big advent service.
then I went to Sam's to take four rolls of film... and they have upped their prices, and it was not worth it because I don't have a card, and I have to get
Gayle's... so came back to Dierberg's (the grocery store down the street)
and took the film there, and then it was too dark to see the addresses,.
SO will take your books tomorrow.
However, tonight I am playing bridge on a street where 3 kids might live.
The street is on both sides of Craig. So, maybe I'll deliver some tonight.

lots of love from.... Mrs. Pam

hi there Devin
Alisa.... WHERE ARE THOSE COOKIES!!!!?
Last night at dinnertime, I thought cookies would
be perfect... so I checked the porch. NO cookies,
but it was a good thing I went out there because I got
flowers from Marge's boss, and a package for the Preschoolers.

So, today when I checked the mail I had a BIG box from you and your
package for the Pen Pals.... very cute books,,, thanks.., and since most of the kiddos live
real close, I will try to deliver them tomorrow (and I'll write my thank yous for
the present they gave me today... a fleece blanket with "ornaments" that each
child decorated or wrote his name)
and save postage.) So, back to your box... I opened it and got peanuts all
over the place, and found a really cute Christmas artificial flower arrangement, and i thought I'd tell you that they were dry, so I watered them really
well. There was a tag on the flowers with the name of the florist, and I
just thought I'd see what florist it was. welllllllllllllllll... inside that little
tag was the message that the sender was NOT you, but my sisiter-in-law.
How embarassing if I had thanked you and never acknowledged Patsie.
Guess who didn't send Patsie anything? ugh!!

hi there Devin
well, I chickened out of going to Nightingales
last night. I was getting ready to get dressed when
Marge called to say the it was sleeting and that
the news said 2 more hours. I actually think it would
have been okay. I got a call from the head of Nightingales,
but since I can't really understand what is being said on my
answering machine, I think she said that the other folks were
there. I'll just save their Christmas presents for 2009.
Today: school, bridge, back to school/church for the
Women's Club Christmas dinner and also my choir rehearsal.
will be packing a suitcase for the day.

Today is our Gift Exchange at school. what are the odds of
all the kids being there, and bringing a present. ?????

Nothing has happened yet except maybe a little slick on bridges and

Hi there Devin
golly... I can't believe how late it has gotten.
Today I cleaned out one of my junk drawers in the kitchen.
I won't admit how far back some of the receipts were dated.
Discovered that it isn't good to spill a bag of coffee from the
top shelf of the refrigerator because it can hit all the shelves
not only below but also in the door, and more on the floor.

need to head to the grocery store. I got a Heavenly Ham yesterday
from a former student's family, and I told Gayle that I'd bring lunch
tomorrow. also need to get something for the choir party on sat.
decided now to take miniature bread slices with honey mustard and
heavenly ham, and a dollop of cheese (squirt from the can) to look
sooooo gourmet. did you think it will?

do you think I'll talk to mama before Christmas?
I changed the message on my answering machine

hi there Devin
Yappee dappy doo!!!
Oh boy, I am just smiling from ear to ear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've been making some cute ornaments at school this year.
Our theme is It's a Candy Cane Christmas....... for Jesus.
So all our ornaments are red and white. the first one being
a beaded candy cane hung as a "J" for Jesus. the background of
the board is candy cane stripe... sorta makes the eyes dizzy, so
I cover a little bit with BIG poinsettias that we made a few years ago,
and a few clouds. The rest is trees and a cute Nativity (mom, baby and angel) that three kids painted. The angel started as Joseph, but was rather small compared to Mary and baby, so voila.. add wings!
Today they will finish making their Rudolph tiles for dads, and make the
Rudolph out of a plastic candy cane.
Yesterday I went to church to bake and to wrap the presents for the preschoolers. We're giving each child three things, and since we are having
our breakfast with santa at church, there will be two siblings (I think), and I
wrapped presents for them, too, since they probably wouldn't understand why they were not included.

Did Maddie wear her Santa outfit when she visited Santa.
Does Willie REALLY want a shower... actually that might be fun!

Hi Devin,
Been wondering how the scans went, when will you have the results?
I went to Edinburgh today, Oma and me went on the bus because it doesn't cost us anything,and Trudi went on the train because that doesn't cost her anything. If we'd gone on the train it would have cost us £10 each. We met up just around the same time. It was so very cold, we had hot roasted chestnuts, lovely. We didn't stay too long and were back home around 3pm.
What are you and Kara getting for Christmas? Kayla wants a laptop so she can play with her Webkinz, Kyle is getting a DSlite, the boys are getting computers and they also want BAKUGAN, and FUNKEYS, do you have them, maybe you're to old for them, I don't know if boys your age play with toys, never having had boys of my own, my grandsons are a new experience for me. Poor wee Kyle went to the doctor's today again, he has another stinking cold, so will be off school for a few days, wonder if the other kids will get it. They have their nativity plays soon.

Hi there Devin
when I decided to call Mom, I picked up the phone
and was told that I had a message being recorded.
so, I went in the other room to hear it, and it was
my friend Mary reminding me that I had the Christmas
luncheon at her church today, and that she'd see me
within an hour. whew! I'd forgotten, and if I had made the
call, and IF mom had been home... guess who would have
not been at the luncheon. It was delicious. so, just tried calling.
but now success. I'm heading to school/church to make cookies
for the UMW party tonight, and to wrap the presents for Preschool.

when do you hear results?

hi there Devin
my e-mail messages all came thru today, so I just
got Mom's tuesday's message. ???????
Well. I already have two 2009 Christmas presents for
you. I found a box but one thing wouldn't fit in, and then
I bought something else yesterday.
Mrs. G. carried the box out to the car and into the
post office... so start checking delivery in six days.

Gayle and I went to the Botanical gardens today to see
the Minature train display...theme was Holidays in Vermont.
can't call it Christmas, although I didn't see any other holidays
being featured. It was great, and the flowers around the displays
were gorgeous, too.

Hi there Devin
gosh... sure hope that guy was not really
trying to hurt you. glad your arm is not broken,
but I am sure it is painful. ugh.

today the kids are painting their angels on the
pillows for Moms... always cute. Mrs. G. does an
amazing job sewing the pillows with a flange, and I
get to trace their designs on the top.

Mr. G. is visiting his mom in NC, so Mrs. G, and
I will do something tonight. (actually I'm hoping to
find a box for your Christmas presents so that she can
carry it to the post office) Last year we went to St. Charles
for their old fashioned Christmas happenings, and maybe
we'll do it again tonight if it isn't too cold.

Merry Christmas Party, Kara!!

Hi Devin,
Yes, what has happened to your arm????????

Oh, we had an awful night last night. It was just before midnight, I went upstairs to have a bath, Kenny was still downstairs, I was running the bath when all of a sudden there was water pouring down everywhere, I screamed for Kenny to come quickly, but he only has one speed (slow) by the time he got up here, the water was coming down in the stairwell too. He ran down to turn it off at the main, then we had to put pots and buckets everywhere to try to catch the water. He had to go out the back to get the ladders then climb up into the loft, to find out where the water was coming from. There was about two inches on the bathroom floor which I was trying to dry up. After a while it stopped pouring down, and Kenny just couldn't find out what was going on, he eventually decided the overflow wasn't taking the back flow, or something like that. We kept the radiators on all night trying to dry out the carpet on the stairs, it's still wet tonight, but IS drying. Anyway, everything is OK again. I sure hope that doesn't happen again any time soon. It was after 3am when we eventually got to bed, and we had to be up for the kids at 7.30am, needless to say we didn't do anything this morning, we just watched a DVD.

oh, oh... what happened to your arm?

I bought some cinnamon oil (because I couldn't
find any gingerbread smelly stuff) for the classroom
to make our Gingerbread House smell. Well, I couldn't
get the dumb child-proof cap off, so finally I closed the
door on the lid, and turned, and SPILLED oil on me and
the floor. Just changed my shirt so that I don't knock the

Oh Devin, what a relief to know that you are so happy in school now, what a difference to all those rotten times when you didn't even want to go. Have you asked for anything special for Christmas? None of the kids can make up their minds here, although Kayla did ask if I could buy her a double buggy and a boy doll, and Kyle wants Ben Ten things. What about Kara?
Weren't the pen-pals lucky to have a pig visit them? I know four kids who would have loved that.

I am so glad to hear how good Devin's feeling and it's been
over 3yrs since diagnosis? Nicole is just over 2yrs,
we know the fears don't ever go away but we are proud that
it's moving away from the danger zones. Well back to

hi there Devin
mama pig was a different mama pig because the
other one was just waiting for her lil piglets to be born.
the owner said she was going to put her inside her
mother-in-law house last night where it was nice and warm,
so maybe there are piggies today. "our" pig was cute...
but we were outside in the play yard so our farmer outfits
didn't show in the photos. The pig's owner had a falling out with
her business partner who was supposed to bring the chicken or goat.
the mom who arranged all this is going to write, and say we should
get a refund for that portion of the arrangement.
JUST FINISHED all my Christmas decorating!! Put the tree up this morning,
and watched Miracle of 34th street, and cried a little bit when Santa's mail was delivered to the court house. (guess I'll never grow up).
The bridge group is coming to my house this Wednesday, so I don't plan on having any visitors during December, so all the decorations are just for one
old person.

SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE SO HAPPY WITH SCHOOL THIS YEAR.

Hi Devin,
How are you, are you missing daddy?
I had a really nice time with Trudi and the boys on Sunday night, we went into the centre of town where there was a great celebration, we had the Glasgow gospel Singers, then the guy who came in second on a TV talent show, then The Singing Kettle, finally the Lord Provost (like a mayor) switched on the Christmas lights and THEN, a wonderful fireworks display from the top of the city chambers, (town hall). You would have loved those fireworks, they were terrific and seamed to go on for ages. Kyle couldn't come because he wasn't feeling well, and Kayla isn't keen on fireworks, although she would have loved everything else. Do you have a switching on of lights in your town?

hi there Devin
well, it warmed up yesterday, and that was a nice surprise!
so after church, I went to the Zoo to see what they had in their
Holiday Boutique. I got you guys a few things, but I was sorta
disappointed that there wasn't anything really terrific. But, I figure
every little purchase might help feed those hungry hippos!
Then I went over to the History Museum, and actually found a
parking spot! They were having the ribbon cutting for a miniature
steam engines display. The owner is in his 90s, and he had his engineer
outfit on, and cut the ribbon, and I actually was next to him in the outside
display tent.... which was about the size of my house, so it would have been interesting to know his set-up at his home. Each car costs between $600-$1100! I have to admit that I didn't hear what makes the cars run. But something is put in the engine and then lit which heats the water that makes
the steam. it was fun to see.
Tonight I'm having dinner with Patio Patty and Snooks 'cuz yesterday was Patty's b-day.

should go to GS, so maybe I will get motivated.
or maybe I'll go back to bed.
I've already told the choir director that I didn't
think I'd be there for the midnight Christmas Eve service.
In the "olden days", I always went to someone's house on
Christmas Eve, so staying awake wasn't a problem. But, I
know that I wouldn 't be able to do that at home. plus,
it would make me sorta a zombie on the 25th. How's all
that for my rationalization?

hi there Devin
well, this morning I Christmasized half my kitchen.
and then when I got to Good Shepherd, one of the new
choir members said he was told that the Christmas party
was always at my house, but would it be all right if it were
at his house. what could I say except that's fine. so I guess I
won't do too much more Christmasizing.

Marge just called to say that she is picking up her boss' three dogs to take
them to her house from 3-9., and would I like to help dog sit. of course, I said YES. one is a new puppy...a chinese something, and I haven't met him yet, so that will be fun

hi there Devin
picked up the photos from the Barn Raising...
turned out pretty good except for the finished product.
But, I be taking lots more of them. Monday we are
going to do some planting! We got little barn boxes from
Red Robin, and we'll put a flower pot in them, and plant
carrots, radishes and peas. not that we expect to get anything to
harvest, but hopefully we can see a few sprouts. Will also try
growing carrot tops and a sweet potato.
I took advantage of the nice spring weather and brought
most of my planters into the garage, and even took a few Christmas
figures out to the patio....but didn't plug them in.

glad you are home and that you had a good time at camp.
now that you are a math whiz, do you think you could
help me balance the check book for school? It is a little frustrating
that I am always a little bit off...but since I am within a few $,
I don't care. just hope we don't get audited!

Hi Devin
Did you have a good weekend away, are you home yet?
I agree with Mrs Pam, those are HUGE pumpkins. Did you go out guising Kara? you looked great in your witches outfit. Tomorrow is Guy Fawkes, I can't remember if I ever told you about him. He was born in 1570 in York, England. In 1605 he was involved in the gun powder plot to blow up the houses of parliament and kill King James 1st of England who was also James 6th of Scotland. It had to do with religion. Anyway, there is a saying here. "Remember, remember the 5th of November" and it has been celebrated ever since with bonfires where a guy is thrown on top and there are lots of fireworks. There are organised fireworks displays in parks. We usually have fireworks here and Denis,Kenny and Craig are in charge. this year Denis will be away at work, and Kayla has her dancing, so we'll probably just have some sparklers and watch all the other fireworks going off all over the place, the sky is usually lit up for hours. We are saving our fireworks for Friday evening when we are hoping to have a bonfire up at the church, well not in the church, LOL, in the grounds.
Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi

hi there Devin
well, my plans to be the first one at church/school
to vote didn't materialize as I decided to sleep late this
morning. So, I'll probably head up around 10.

Our BARN RAISING WAS FANTASTIC! can't wait to get the
pictures back tomorrow , and I'll send you some.
How long is camp? are you home?

Hi there Devin
Today we are going to have a Barn Raising...

We are going to use the long thin boxes from
mrs. G.s new floor that she had put in last week.
I can picture in my mind how it will work...
but, that doesn't mean it will! keeping my fingers crossed.

What do you mean your claim's going to be denied?! How in the world could it be denied?!
So I was going to give you a hard time about hiding behind the flowers when there was a beautiful pic of you the very next one. You didn't tell me it was your anniversary! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!! Glad you had a good time!
This is a wonderful chapter. Full of so much comfort! Know that I'm still here praying!
Psalms 116:1-5 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

Hi Devin,
How did your weekend go, did you have lots of fun? What are you doing for Halloween? The kids are getting excited, it's not such a big thing here in the UK, people don't decorate that much. I put my laughing witch in the hall this morning, and I'll put some more decorations up every day until Friday.
Hi Alisa,
my neck is healing up OK, but I think the surgeon needs sewing lessons, the scar is a bit rough looking. I'm guessing everything is going to be OK as my next appointment isn't until the 4th December.

hi there Devin
home from Eldon.... sorta felt like I'd been gone for a week
rather than 2 days.... Pastor Mike said that our yearly visit
is always the highlight of the year for him. that was quite nice!
We drove to Columbia and had lunch at 2:30 (about 21 hours since
our last meal on Saturday... not good for Margie who is a diabetic,
but I had thrown peanut butter and crackers in the car, so she was
able to have a little protein when she got dizzy. We were joined for
lunch by 4 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren....so that made
the wait for lunch worthwhile!

I found a UT package in my mailbox when I got home, but I'll wait until
tomorrow to open it.

Well, I went into town today and was caught in torrential rain and hail stones all at the same time, it was wild, there are also battering winds. Yesterday we had more rain in a few hours than we usually have for the whole of October, the rivers are really high, seems like we've had rain every single day this month, and it's not just for a few hours, it's continual. Don't know what the kids are doing this weekend, I'm going to a craft fair with Trudi and my sister in law. Denis is in charge of the boys.
Have a great weekend. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

wrong Saturday for Caringbridge to shut-down... I thought it
was supposed to be yesterday.

Heading to a visitation for a former RWS teacher, am going with
3 other former teachers. it will be good to see them in spite of the
sadness of the occasion. Then I'm heading waaaaay west to
Strathalbyn (a riding club) to for dinner with Sudie's family...but
especially to meet Lauren, her new NYC grandchild who was born in
July. so, I am really looking forward to that!

Breakfast. I called her at 7:30 and said that I would pick her up
at 8:45. She had just gotten home from a walk, and forgot that we
were going to the Zoo. glad I caught her cuz it isn't much fun going
w/o a friend. The food was yummy and elegant! We got frog snowglobes
and Zoo mugs filled with chocolates (my favorite). But it was really fun seeing
the slide show of all the new additions planned for the next few years.

prayers and love from Mrs. Pam

Hi there Devin
well, guess what I was getting ready to tell you?
And then I saw your snow pictures!
When I drove up to the house today, I looked at
the crabapple tree in the court, and it had BLOSSOMS on it!
Talk about crazy weather... spring has sprung in st. louis, and
winter in UT!.

boy, am I impressed with Kara's dahlias. Did she grown them
at Grandpa's house? What a neat hobby. I've seen flower shows at
the Missouri Botanical Gardens, but think I've only seen roses and cacti.

hi there Devin
well "smoothy" is a cute word. the size of the print is so small on my new computer, that I have no idea what letters are showing up.

so, I just made one bulletin board for church, and I took down the
Trivia night one and gave the info sign-ups to the Chairman who is
also in Choir. She gave them back to me saying we had another
week before Trivia. ugh. I knew it was the 18th, but for some dumb
reason, I thought tomorrow was the 18th ... ?????

so, I took down another bulletin board that had old photos, and redid
the Trivia Night. stupid, huh?

Come on City, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.

Several years ago my basement had water back up
several inches deep.. I called Roto Rooter.. they couldn’t get
their snake out to the street and
said to call metropolitan sewer district...
but MSD would not claim responsibility. I finally said that I
didn’t care whose fault it was, I just wanted the water OUT of
my basement, and that I would pay for it. remind me again,
why are we paying taxes to the city?

hmm--- where's my yesterday message?

Six of us had a picnic after church yesterday.
There is a nice park on the oppisite corner
from church where they have a stable. The
horses are used for therapeutic horseback riding.
I'd never been there before. quite nice! they also
have a small play area and walking trails. the only walking
I did was from my car to the picnic area and back.

The church's parking lot is being paved (finally) today.
so I guess I'll get a little more walking in this morning.

hi there Devin
today was Maryland Heights Fall craft festival, and
Mr. Zion got a booth for the Crafty Ladies. I volunteered
to sit in the booth...but I didn't really stay there too long.
I watched a Tumbling and Dance Studio do their things. Loved
seeing all those determined kids. And the Mary Heights Community
Chorus sang a few songs. I used to be in that group several years
ago. The director was very cute, but very TALKATIVE, and since I could
never really understand what she said, I would fall asleep. I dropped out.
However, there were a few old members that I recognized, and one came down and knew my name, and asked me to re-join. This week will be their
first rehearsal for their Christmas show. I think I will try it again. I might
as will take advantage of still being able to sing, and now with the new aids,
maybe understanding what the director is saying. This time it's a man. But,
that means that every two weeks I will have four nights in a row for a choir/chorus rehearsal, and the other two weeks, just 2 nights. wow!

Hi Devin - Being sick is the "pits." I agree with your mom that "mold" could be a source of illness - or at least add to the problem. Knowing your mom, she will get to the base of this ASAP!

Even though your scans are a necessity - we know they will turn out "just fine." Always good to get them behind you and "get on with life" huh?

Remember the hawks in my yard? Well, now I have a
funny little something,,,, maybe a sparrow. He sat in my
wee window feeder box (about a four inch square) for over 4
hours today. no other birds came over to see what was going on.
I thought he might be a she, and was laying eggs. but, I guess this

Has been drizzly here in Seattle today, but that is good as it keeps us inside doing work that should be done - inside work gets put on the back burner when days are sunny and warm.

She's from GA and had back surgery
at st. louis children's in March. she
was originally going to come to stl yesterday,
and this morning we were going to go to the Zoo.
She has a checkup app't in the afternoon, but the
app't got moved to 5 o'clock. so they are just driving
in today. if they get here in time, i think we will take a
short trip to the zoo (but they'll miss out on any goodies from
Steven). Gayle and I are going to go to the Art Museum for lunch,
and then wait for a phone call to see where they are.

She's the smallest horse in the world. I think
13 inches tall or something like that. She travels
all over the country to visit Children's Hospitals. But
today she is in St. Louis, and yesterday or Saturday Ike's
rains flooded the creek near her barn, and the water got up
3 feet... but her "Mom" rescued her in time and put her up on a
chair in the barn and wrapped her up in blankets. She lives
in Ladue (near highway 40 and Lindbergh). I didn't realized that
we had had so much flooding from creeks because I do NOT watch

Hi there Devin
The traffic getting to the Zoo was awful. a normal 25 minute trip took 1 1/2 hours!!! ugh. but, my friend Sudie and I got there just as the dinner was being served. The Zoo always puts someone important at each table. We had Jack, who is the Curator for Baby Animals, and his wife at our table. That was fun to hear him tell about happenings at the St.Louis Zoo, and other Zoos. Jack came to St. Louis from the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. in 1986. The Smithsonian is in charge of the national Zoo (I didn't know that.) They had a Hippo named Happy. The director of the Zoo loved Happy because he could pat him on his nose, and toss him apples to eat. So he always took visitors to meet Happy. One time he took the
Secretary of State (or someone like that) and his bodyguards, and had the Secretary of State toss Happy an apple.... WELL, somehow that apple go stuck in Happy's throat and to unlodge it, he sorta threw-up all over the
secretary (who had to throw away his very expensive suit).
The bodyguards were laughing uncontrollably.

When I got home this afternoon, I went out the garage
to the patio to feed the birds, and ran into "a tree".
I large branch had fallen on my garage roof.....but the good
news is that it is my neighbors!! It didn't really do any damage
as far as I can tell, and I would think he could probably saw it up and remove it himself. He has a HUGE dead tree in his front yard, and I keep thinking
it will fall on my house (and do BIG damage). Mrs. G. said it is on a hill and will fall the other way. BUT what if the wind is blowing towards my house?
Well, anyway looks like I was worrying about the wrong tree. And we didn't

hi there devin
well, the cable wasn't so easy to find.
so, we went back to the apple store yesterday.
it cost $19.....I don't know why the original salesperson said we
would find it much cheaper other places. It took Hudson SEVERAL hours
to find the stuff from my old computer. internet is much faster, but the size and color of ink are still hard to read. And my games that I played routinely every morning will not work on this upgraded computer. And since I have only one keyboard and mouse, it probably would be dumb to keep switching back and forth. plus the old computer is on the floor, and I can't really sit on the floor too much any more.
I've read and deleted about 100 old e-mail messages. I should probably just
delete all of the unread ones.
you know what else I can't do....scroll up to see what I've already written in your guestbook. hmmm
well, that's about it.

Psalms 86:1-7 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Hi there Devin
Here I am with my new Mini-Mac and a new monitor.
Hudson has to get a certain cable to get all my old stuff on here from my old computer. This writing is rather small and blue, and not too easy to read. Maybe he can change that. But, my e-mail now works. so, that's good. He'll be back later today to fix it. (hopefully)

I spent the morning at school getting the Handbook

Preschool teachers have not been told how to use it,
so I went to Kinkos to do the covers. They look great.
Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie are due here now to take me to
the Apple Store to buy whatever I need for upgrading.

Hi Devin,
My, you look so grown up in that picture of you going to school, I bet you'll have a few girls after you. By the way, do you like girls?
Gosh Alisa,
You certainly have got a lot going on haven't you? it's scary to think what might have happened. Hopefully it will all get sorted out sooner rather than later. How are you coping with all those men hanging around your house? LOL
We have subsidence in our house, it's been there long before we bought it over 35 years ago, most of the old houses in this area have it because there used to be coal mines all around here. The house is over 100 years old and so far it hasn't sunk any more. We don't have cellars like you do in America, we usually just have cement foundations laid and the houses are built on top of them. I really need to get someone to fix the roof as we've got some rain coming into the loft area, but I hate to use money for that, I'd rather spend it going to the caravan or on holiday, or even geocaching. The heating bills are getting very expensive because of the oil prices, and the petrol is now £5 a gallon, which means Kenny is putting £50 a week in the car which gets us to the caravan and him to work 3 days, also going to the hospital a couple of times a week to visit Walter.
Maybe the lottery will come up eh?
Hope you all have a great weekend.
We're off to the caravan tomorrow rain or no rain.

hi there Devin
In case I don't talk to Mom today,
here's a project for her:
Mrs. G. and I found 10 wee Hortons
(authentic Dr. Seuss) on sale at Target
for $1.24. I think we went to 6 different stores.
There might be two more stores that we can go to.
So, right now we have 10 Preschoolers. But, it
would be nice to find 2 more Hortons, just to be safe.
We don't need them
until the end of March. Of course, maybe by that time they'll
have a new supply.

Heading out soon for Bridge.
Hope school is going well for both of you.
so, is Kara going to the school that R&K and I
visited?

Hi Devin
Glad you had a great time on holiday and got to bargain for some special things. I'm not very good at bargaining, but Trudi is an expert at it, although we don't go to Tenerife (Spanish) anymore and that's where we used to pick up our bargains. We've been busy geo-caching this weekend and got some really good ones, a red Jeep TB that was sent out from TEXAS, it's been all over the USA and even to Iraq, can you believe that? we also got a wee dog TB that originated from the USA too,





and a dinosaur that was set off from the UAE.

Alisa,
I guess if you didn't laugh you would certainly cry with all that's going on with your house. You must be wodering what's going to happen next.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

moved away 4 years ago, is now
back in St. Louis, and their baby is
now 4, so Dad is going to come in to
pick up an application. Both Mom and
Dad are nurses...or she is and he is a driver (?),
and they get shipped all over the USA...went to
CA and then Hawaii, and I don't know where they
are coming from now. also, don't know if they
would be here for a whole year, but it will be nice
to see them again.

We accepted the girl who will turn 3 in Sept, and also
the boy that Mom was concerned about. My new

hi there Devin
The electrician just left a few minutes ago.
He was here for 2 1/2 hours. Before he got
here
all the electricity went off!
Then about 1/2 an hour later, it all came back on.
He could find NOTHING wrong, and thought that
it must be a problem with the electric company.
I am grateful for that, so I didn't mind the expense
because it is worth it for peace of mind. He also put
in the upgrade plug in the kitchen for the microwave.
It came with a note saying that adapter plugs were
not recommended. so, at least I got that taken care of.
I'm heading up to school to copy a few papers, but that's
it. I read a Max Lucado book while the electrician was here...
so that was a help in relieving my nervousness. (I hate being
such a wimp, but I guess I am, so I might as well accept it.)

hi there Devin
Your homepage doesn't open all the way.
right now I am waiting for an electrician to
call me. Yesterday the power was off in
the kitchen and family room and the AC.
It went back on. It went off again a few minutes
ago. makes me very nervous and hot!!!

hi there devin
i just got home from getting my new
hearing aids. so, it will be good to
test them out with the bridge group this
afternoon. I have 3 settings: 1 for normal,
2 for restaurants, and 3 for church.
But, I still do NOT like how they feel
in my ears, but know I should be grateful
that I have them...and so, I am going to really
try to wear them more than I wore the other pair.

Kate Guthrie is in town til tomorrow, and she is
heading over now to show me how to find my printer,
etc
when it doesn't want to print. this time I am writing
down her instructions.

Had another lady call about a preschooler. the little
girl won't turn 3 until september.... a tad young,
but I'll see if she can come to school on Friday so
that Mrs. G and I can talk to mom.

hey ross family,
sounds like alot of chaos is going on in your backyard. i hope they get done soon so you can enjoy your pool before summer is over. we haven't been in our pool all weekend..the temps have dropped here and the pool is chilly. it started off raining. speaking of rain, our lawn in the front hasn't had to be watered all summer, we've had enough rain for that. it's been a very weird summer temperature wise here. it felt like fall all weekend, except for the blooming grass & flowers.
there's open house at the schools tomorrow and then rickey & aryn have their first day on thursday. summer has flown by too fast!!

Hi Alisa,
what a carry on in your back garden, one thing's for sure, we don't need secondary water pipes here, it just keeps pouring down, I don't know the last time we even had to water anything. I didn't sleep a wink on Saturday night at the caravan, it was like Chinese torture, that rain never stopped pounding all night long. I was praying that Kayla and family were safe in their tent. I phoned and they said that it wasn't too bad where they are, they did have a wee drip but managed to stay dry.

We found two caches on Sunday and two today, how are you doing?

hi there Devin
good grief! I never heard of a secondary water supply...
why is it needed? who pays that water bill and who pays
for this big mess in your backyard???? I'm thinking the city
must pay if it is used to water the lawns.

Right now I am VERY happy that I am writing in your
guestbook. This morning I spilled a full glass of soda
on my keyboard. I didn't know whether I should clean the floor
or the keyboard first. I opted for the rug. Then I tried to dry
the keyboard...but I guess I did it in. It would only type V and O
and L and 2 even those weren't the keys I was hitting. And then it
typed in a foreign language.

So... Mrs. G and I worked at school this morning, and then we
headed to the Apple store to buy a new keyboard. Out of luck,
Charlie...they don't make my keyboard anymore. They don't
sell "Tiger" for a new operations system. But they knew there
was another Apple store that sold used keyboards. We headed
there. They had a NEW keyboard...and obviously, it works. I
was getting rather nervous thinking that I would never b able to
get all my files opened. But, they do not sell Tiger which I guess I
need in order for my e-mail to work. Said I should try on e-bay.
So, maybe I'll be buying a new computer. maybe a laptop. That
would be good for school, and I can just type the show and tells
for our newspaper. super. I'll see what Hudson thinks.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

hi there Devin
no tricks today!
we had really perfect weather, so I decided
to go to the Botanical Garden to see the Niki
Statues, and Patty went with me. Have you heard of
Niki? She made huge glass and mosaic statues, They
really looked good in the garden because they are so
colorful, and some were sorta co-ordinated with nearby
gardens. They have a new tram tour, so that was fun, and
a good way to see all of the statues for a first time visit.
We didn't actually do any walking, but we had lunch
outside. So in less than a week, I've seen 3 of our major
attractions.

Well, at least sick Kara was with Mom!
Let me tell you what happened to T & C when we were in 10th
grade. They signed out sick to go home. And later one of
our classmates called C to see how she was feeling. Well, they
were not sick, and they did not go home, and they were
EXPELLED!!!!! Thinking back on it, I just don't know why any
of the other parents didn't speak up, and say perhaps a week-probation
would have "fit the crime". or, why didn't any of the teachers come to their defense?

Hi there Devin
you know how I keep my glasses on a pin....
well, yesterday at the Zoo, Grandpa Mack
noticed that I was missing a lens. And, I
remembered hearing something hit the floor
after I had "powered my nose", and checked to
be sure that my gold ribbon pin hadn't fallen off.
So when we got back to the Living World, we checked
the ladies room. No lens. BUT, when I started thinking
about the "clink on the floor", I thought maybe I had heard
it at home. Sure enough, I found my lens at home. yippee.
so, I'll get it put in today, and will probably get my eyes
checked for new glasses, too. My eye doctor "vanished" a
couple of years ago...building closed down, and can't find him
on the internet. I really liked him, too. so, I'll just go to a local
glasses store because I'm sure it would take too long to get an
app't with a new doctor. I do have the # for Gayle's doctor, and
should probably get established with her.

HI there Devin

okay, you and Rosi are talking a foreign language.
clue me in, please!

Just got back from our Zoo Tour with Steven for
Pen Pal Claudia and her friends and family. There
were 9 wonderful children and 6 wonderful grown-ups.
First stop was the Hippo Harbor and we got to see Shelley
feed the hippos. Of course, that was great! Then we got
trammed to the Big Cat Country and saw the 5 baby
tiger cubs who had just been introduced to the outside
an hour before. So, we were one of the first folks to see
that. Really cute. Mom would run, and they would dash
after her. Then we went to the Children's Zoo, and Steven
gave all of the kids a wee stuff hippo. had lunch, rode the
train and saw the sea lion show. We had bottles of frozen water,
and so although it was hot, it was not miserable. I just love
how Steven takes care of us.

Hi Devin,
Who'd have thought that all those caches are lying around and no one knows about them, we went into town yesterday and found 4 nano ones. We have to thank you for bringing this exciting game to our attention, we're totally hooked. Kenny has a hand held GPS that he's had for many years, only trouble is, we don't know how to use it, can you use yours OK, ours is a Magellan. We even went looking for a cache on the way home from the theatre last night, we-didn't find it, but I'm sure we will today,LOL.
most of the ones we found yesterday were nano's, what kind have you been finding? I got some Scottish key-rings I'll send you so that you can use them as caches.

This is the second half of the hymn "Abide with Me." The words are so comforting. Know that I'm still here praying!

5. Thou on my head in every youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

6. I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me!

7. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me.

8. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Hymns have been going through my head all day for some reason. This one is long so I'm only doing the first half but oh it's special. Continuing to pray so very hard!

1. Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!

2. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Thou, who changest not, abide with me!

3. Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

4. Come not in terror, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

Hi Devin
I'd never hear of geocaching either, I looked it up and it sounds great fun, we did something similar at Christmas only without the GPS thingy, just a map and clues. When Trudi and Lesley were kids they loved doing wayfaring and now the grand kids love that too although the weather isn't always that great so we don't get to do it too often. We've had torrential downpours the last few days, I got caught out in one and got absolutely drenched.
Oh I am jealous, wish we were all in St Louis, wouldn't that have been a great reunion?

The closest word I know is geode.
So, clue us in, please.

Sheila and Aryn just stopped by to get
a blanket for their picnic tomorrow.
I opted out of going to the Zoo tomorrow because
I've got a Pen Pal outing on Tuesday, and I figured
it would wear me out for the Muny tomorrow night.
But, I did give them my Zoo card which should make
every thing free...IF there is anything left on it because
I sent Pen Pal Abby my other card about a month ago,
and she never got. Sure hope it was somehow lost in the
mail, and not stolen.

I had a really nice "reunion" today with my voice teacher,

Hi Ross',
as you can see the giant package arrived and we are all delighted with the gifts. It actually came last week, but I didn't get the chance to write, we had visitors from Canada, then we were off the next morning to the caravan. Callum and Ruari were first to open theirs, Kayla opened hers when she came up to see the visitors, and Kyle did his later on that day, it was hard trying to get us all at the same time, LOL. Trudi and Lesley liked their tops as did the men, I loved my 'bless this house' wind chime, I hung it in the hall and everyone notices as soon as they come in, thanks too for all the scrapbooking stuff and the cross, it was a great package, THANK YOU





Did Kara start school today?

Summer finally arrived here, and we've had four or five really nice warm sunny days, although the forecast is for rain tomorrow.

hi there Devin
well, the most exciting thing about today
is that I found Elmer's Glue w/ buy one for
99¢, and get one free. Wal-Mart just has the
school glue for 22¢, and we like the regular.
some places it is $1.49 a bottle, so I think we did okay.
We bought 16 bottles.

the new school year sounds promising for you guys!
i just have to laugh when you talk about kara and the things she's convinced she wants to do or have...exact same thing here w/aryn trying to convince me she needs a horse! like we have a place to keep it or know what to do w/it.
we all went to see wall e the weekend it came out...everyone liked it (rickey even wanted to see it). he used to pull the 'too big' to do stuff, but he's growing out of that stage mostly now. it started when he entered middle school...just advanced warning.
it's very warm here now, just glad most of the storms have decided not to hang around everyday!!
hope you hear soon from the gastro.

sooo happy that you are looking forward to this

Saw Miss Saigon last night. The Muny
might be the only theatre to have a real
helicopter fly over. pretty exciting. but, I
forgot that it was an operetta, so all the
dialogue is sorts sung, and not too easy
to understand. I probably look silly sitting
so close to the stage with my binoculars...

Oh Alisa, I can just feel the frustration and irony of it all! I too can relate to the seemingly senseless purpose of all of the hoops they demand you jump over and the feeling of deafening silence when it comes their turn to give their opinion on what all these tests mean. It sounds all too familiar, sometimes it leaves you to wonder whats it all for? Yes, you are right, seems as if the bill always gets there before the lab results do! No need to wonder though why that is! lol I do hope you get the answers you need soon. Sounds like everyone had a great time with your Mom, I'm so glad you had the opportunity to spend that time together and the fall will be here before we know it! Can you believe how fast the summer is flying by? We are thinking of you!!!

hi there Devin
tried here twice...but your update is missing.
the lavender was at its peak two weeks ago.
and the little gift shop in an open type barn
was a little pricey, so we didn't buy anything.
and the lunch in town took at least half an hour
for a tough hamburger and cold fries. however,
we hit Culver's for ice cream. yummy. do you have
Culver's? mrs g and I think we should buy a franchise
for our area. went to about 4 stores to find ribbon for
the bulletin boards at good shepherd. bought all I could
find at 2 Hancock's. don't know if it is enough, but will
find out on Tuesday when I "do" one of the boards.

Am taking Margie to Sam's and Wal-Mart, and I know she'l
wear me out, even if I sit and read. Miss Saigon tonight.
wonder what the odds are on my staying awake....

hi there Devin
this morning Mrs. G. and I
are scheduled to head to
Eureka to visit the Lavender Farm.
We were going to go last summer,
and never did. and now, we might
be rained out. but, we'll probably head
that direction anyway.

Yesterday Mark Guthrie was supposed to
cut my grass. Got home, and the grass was
not cut, but the $ was missing. thought maybe
the lawn mower wouldn't start or it began to
rain. called mrs g. and she said no, mark had NOT
been over to my house. that nervoused me, thinking
that a burglar had been visiting. I asked again. no.
talked more. asked again...are you SURE? she said she
would go see if Mark was still sleeping. Well, he had been
to my house. I was so happy that I never did really find out
why he hadn't cut the grass, but maybe it was too wet.

glad to hear that GG was there!

felt like Wilma Flintstone this morning...
dragging big branches out of my yard.
Guess we had some really big winds during
the storm the other night. My neighbors
have a HUGE dead tree in their yard. I
was calculating today to see if it could hit
my house if it fell over....and it could, maybe.
I would think that they would be worried about
their house, too.

Today I am playing bridge with my

If it is my choice, then that's good. But, it isn't always

Yesterday was Christian Day at the Ball Park, and Claudia, one of
our Pen Pals, was honored. The Cardinal Ushers did
MANY things for her brother Aven, including making
$8000 on a raffle which the family used to take him to
Sky Walker Ranch. Claudia was one of nine children chosen
to stand on the field with the Players for the Nat'l Anthem and
God Bless America. She was with Yadi Molina, and there is the
CUTEST picture on Aven's caringbridge page of Claudia and Yadi
and the Umps. She also got Tony LaRussa (manager) and Yadi to
sign her baseball that had a the stitching in a heart shape. It was
Aven's Valentine present last year.

Next month I am taking Claudia and her friends to the Zoo for a Tour with Steven.

Hi there Devin
know what Marge and I did yesterday morning
and this morning? sewed about 180 hearts
for Nicaragua. Saturday night Marge got an
e-mail from the Carol the Lady in Charge of
Jumpers asking for more help. The hearts were
cut out, would we sew them? Marge said yes,
but to call her so we would know where to get them.
did she call? no. she delivered them to Good Shepherd
on Sunday morning, but she didn't tell us. Well, when
I went down to sit in the 2nd pew for the sermon, a
reader came down and got there first, and John was already
talking, so I didn't want to ask the guy to move over.
So, since I can hear nothing from the choir loft, I left.
I guess John brought the hearts over to my house and left
them on the porch. did I know that? no. found them Tuesday
morning.
Professor Pam is a big hit. Guess they love my spikey hair!
tomorrow I'm leaving early to have lunch with the Women's

Hi there Devin
Professor Pam (for VBS this week) here...
just by luck yesterday afternoon when I drove in
to church to see if Mrs. G.'s car was there,
I found Mr. Dave, the Youth Director, leaving.
And he asked me if I knew that I had a little skit to
do each morning. well, NO, I didn't. He ran back in
and got me the script. Poor old Professor is rather dumb,
and startles easily. (Does this sound too life-like to you?)
I will have my lines on a clip board, so I don't have to
nervous over not remembering what to say......

Sweet Abby Ostlie (the 4 year old whom Heather Tidd
took pictures of last year), who is here for a heart
transplant, was told yesterday that there was a new
heart for her. Both parents and one grandma
were able to be here. BUT, the new heart was damaged.
(Way Beyond a Dissapointment!!)
She has been waiting
17 months for a heart... apparently her MN hospital didn't really
do all that they were supposed to do. sound familiar?

hi there Devin
sure am holding good thoughts for you today!

Sherlock Holmes here....
you can't fool this old lady.
It took only TWO weeks for me to discover
that my dogwood tree is missing from the
back garden. It was there for about 20 years!
And it was a nice pink one, my favorite kind, too!

Mrs. Guthrie loves to shop, but guess who did
most of the buying! I got two more little bushes
and one fern, two triple planters, and some
impatients. I am REALLY finished planting for
the year. (I think.) I also bought a new microwave.
That and my wee griddle are the only ways I cook
at home since my oven is broken. and the stove
is covered with junk.

Today I'm taking Margie to a Greek church that
has a GREAT buffet every Friday. Since I can't
go during the school year, I sorta forget about it.
Margie has never been, so she is looking forward to it.
And I know there will be LOTS of soft food.
I had great food yesterday: pancakes, ice cream sundae,
and baked potato. How's that for a well-balanced diet.

Alisa, you got some super b-day presents.
Devin, that is a really good looking Uncle Sam.
Somebody has extraordinary good taste, don't you think?

Love the pictures, looks like everyone is having a great time! Also really love your new Fountain Alisa!!! :) The pool looks especially good to us, it sure has been hot here in Florida, it is just awful with the humidity. Meagan has a bacterial ear infection and that is why she has been sick all week with the fevers and no appetite so she is keeping me busy! All the other girls are doing well, or as well as can be expected anyway! We love you guys and are thinking of you!!! ((hugs)))

hi there Devin
do you know what's wrong with my tooth?
neither do I.
I get so nervous that I can't remember anything
the doctor said... I just heard that I might need
a root canal (ouch) or crown (ugh) or have the
tooth pulled (bigger ouch, I imagine). so, I have to
go back in two weeks. Meanwhile I take 2 advils
every six hours. but, I don't know if he said for one
week or 2. (pretty dumb, huh?) If it gets bad, he
will prescribe an antibiotic.
you know, I usually take my stuffed hippo so I have
something to hug. well, I was hugging my purse,
and the technician, whom I didn't recognize,
asked if I wanted her to put it on
the shelf. when I told her I usually bring an animal,
she said, "oh, yes, I remember." Should I be embarassed?

yippee, mrs. g. just called... and we're going shopping.
I didn't have any exciting things to do today. We'll also
go to the library and pick up the books I selected for her
for VBS. If there is time after the art project, she reads
a book. She wanted books on the heart (don't remember
what the project was) and lungs (kids will blow colored
soap bubbles and make prints) and fingerprint art (kids will
decorate their soap bubble papers for stationery. She's taking
an easier route this year. One year she MADE 70 birdhouses...
sawed the five pieces of wood for each one, and the children had
to hammer them together. WOW!

Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Hi Devin
Callum and Ruari both rode on the Tower of Terror 4 times, Ruari was a wee bit scared the first time though. Callum is quite fearless. Kayla and Kyle on the other hand are so funny, Kyle is terrified of anything that is big which in his case is nearly everything. LOL Kayla hates loud noises and covers her ears when she thinks there is going to be a noise and covers her eyes if she doesn't like the look of someone or something, although they both rode on the Haunted house ride a few times, she was scared on the Nemo ride at first too but got used to it, our favourite ride was Buzz Light-year, we rode that about 4 times every day. What are your plans for the next few weeks?

Hi there Devin
Pastor Brenda called me yesterday to
say that the theme for her sermon on
Sunday is Brave, and she wanted me to
tell about some of my BRAVE caringbridge
children. Guess who isn't brave enough to
do public speaking? Fortunately, it isn't
my Sunday at MZ, so Brenda will be doing the
talking. She wanted photos, so that made it
slightly easier for me to choose. That's what I've been

Hi there Devin
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALISA!
I'm thinking that this is a special #!

Know what I'm doing today?
SEWING MORE JUMPERS.
I thought I was finished, and the
secretary at GS church left fabric for six
more jumpers. so I went to school last
night, and made 2. mrs. g. is back from a
week with her
brothers, so she is meeting me at school this
morning. we should have 90+ jumpers by
Wednesday Pick Up day.

I went to a Nursery yesterday to see about
buying a couple of bushes. The ones on sale
were $100+, and they "only" wanted 60% of the
original price for the planting charge. I said
"Thank you" and left. The plain dirt is looking
mighty fine after all! I sure didn't realize that
bushes were so expensive. I wonder if 'my boys'
could dig up the pine tree that I have in the back yard
(grass area) and re-plant it. I don't really like where it
is anyway. that would solve two problems.

Hope you ALL have a GREAT BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION TODAY!!!!!

We sang this hymn in church this morning and I wanted to share it. Am still here praying!
"My Hope is Built on Nothing Less"
by Edward Mote, 1797-1874

1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

3. His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

however, the 4th thingy isn't that exciting..
but maybe will add a little festive touch to your party today.

That was some "friend"....good grief!

Glad you found a new exciting school for Devin!
How about Kara?

Was able to send a reply to Sheila from the library
yesterday, so it must be my computer. Maybe Devin's
friend could fix that, too!!!

Heading to school to finish (I think) sewing jumpers with
Marge. Tonight I'm going to a small bar-b-q with GS choir
folks. I'm bringing a salad. Bought basic salad stuff yesterday,
and it cost $20....whoa, I guess I didn't realize how much

hi there Devin and all
FINISHED planting this morning!!!
maybe later in the summer when
hostas and ferns are really cheap,
I'll buy some more. I know I need
bushes for the swimming pool sized
dirt area. If I can plant them sorta on an
angle in the middle...it won't matter
that the rest is bare since I won't
be able to see it. That should probably
be done professionally since I feel like
superman when I dig a 3-6 inch hole!
and I can't really depend on those cute
boys who were supposed to come today,
but I got a phone call that they couldn't because
it might rain. ???? and, they'll come next week.

okay, guys, you can tell that the B family
and I will be missing you....so come on over
and play!

Hi there Devin
mailed Mom's birthday package this morning.
there was a little 4th of July something for you
and Kara...I know it will get there after the
4th, but I didn't want to wait until next year.
I bought it only in January, so did I not have
enough time to get it in the mail?

I had breakfast with little Abby and her mom this
morning. Oh, she is soooo precious. Marge, Mrs. G.
and I made her a little jumper with hearts and made the
facing with a turquoise fabric (the only jumper with turquoise.)
What is Abby's favorite color? you got it! And I didn't know it previously. She was even wearing
a turquoise shirt this morning.

The news team from MN is coming to St. Louis to do a
story on Abby...they'll go to the hospital with her tomorrow.
They are meeting a St.Louis newsman, too, so I imagine we
will get to see the report. but, I don't know if they are going
to make it a feature, and wait until she gets her new heart.

I'm waitng by the phone for my friend Sudie to call because I have
a present for her granddaughter who should be born on Thursday in
NYC. Sudie said she would meet me at the Frame Store near me this afternoon.

so, will your new neighbors be calling the police because of your
firecrackers on the 4th?

says "Small World...I was sitting next to Heather when she
got your phone call." Heather had said that "that was a Preschool

Hi Devin.
How was camp, was it good, and did you make any new friends? What's the plan for the rest of the holidays? I guess you'll be swimming a lot with the temperature being so hot. We've been getting a lot of rain again but not that cold wintry type it's been quite warm, (well warm for us that is) around 64 degrees so it's warmish rain. We're hoping we get better weather in France this year, last year wasn't that good.

Hi guys,

Sorry it's taken me SO long to get back to you. I'd forgotten how hectic it is to have all three kids home all day. =)

We are going to be in Boise soon. We're leaving Portland on Wednesday (the 2nd) and will be there until about the 8th. Then I think we're heading to Reno for about a week-ish...and then we'll hit Boise on the way back through again (around the 15th or so?). Hope to be able to catch you one of those times. =) If not i'm sure we'll be out there again before the summer is over. =)

Love to you all!

Hi there Devin
well, the boys are finished with the
back yard. they said they would be here
yesterday at 8, so I was hoping they could
help me dig holes for the new plants.
Did they come at 8? no. so I left around
11, and they came while I was not here.
So, I'm trying to do the digging. But, it
is not easy. However I did get some
planted this morning, and I hope they
will grow.
I am happy with all the work they did.
19 trash bags/cans yesterday, and that
many more waiting for next week's pick up.

We have a Pen Pal living in St. Louis now.
Abby from MN (Heather Tidd took her photos
last year, and that's how I found her.) She's
waiting to get a new heart. I sent her a Zoo
card, and it did not get there. ugh. Mom's
phone is busy every time I call. :-)
so, we have not connected yet. but, I
sure hope we can get together this coming week.

Hi there Family
Today was the Legacy Luncheon at the Zoo.
I took Mrs. G. We sat at the table with
Jeffrey B. (the Zoo's director) and our friend Jeff.
I enjoyed talking to both Jeffs. The theme was
Hats Off to the Zoo or maybe to the Heritage folks...
and we were supposed to wear hats. I won most
creative at our table...it was my Easter Bonnet which
was actually a door hanging that I got at Big Lots.
and I put a jeweled camel pin on it. Of course, we got
to talk to Steven who was in charge of the luncheon along
with Cynthia who is now a VP. They had a fashion show with
Zoo folks modeling vintage hats. And we got to see Katie who
still follows the Caringbridge sites...so that must be yours and
Ryan's for sure.

Then afterwards we talked to the Insect Keeper because
he was looking at a bunch of bees that were pollinating the
hydrangea bushes. It is NATIONAL POLLINATION WEEK.
He told us that there are 400 species of bees in Missouri.
Doesn't that seem unbelievable. And then he tried to tell us
some of the differences in the way the bees look. Then Diane
(I don't know her job) was driving the cart to take us back to the
Living World, and she made a "slight" detour to the other side of
the Zoo to let us see the new baby giraffe that was born this week.
The mom is Jessie and Steven said he thinks that you and the rest of the gang fed Jessie laast May, and that it gave her just enough added nutrition to have a sweet healthy baby. Usually Mother giraffes have their
babies at night when they are alone...but Jessie delivered in the daytime with 400 Zoo visitors cheering her on. that would have been something.
Two months ago our Tiger had FIVE cubs...really unusual. She's a first time Mom, and is doing a great job. But we won't get to see them until they are 3 months old.

Hi there Alisa
well, that's a good question from Lynn...where was
my message from yesterday?
and what did I say?

Happy to hear that Kara is okay.
Does that mean she can go to drama/dance
camp....or is that too much dance rather than
drama?

those cute boys sure work on their own time
schedule. I called yesterday around 4 and talked
to kyle and told him that I really needed the stuff
picked up off the grass before it died. a few minutes
later kyle and the twins showed up. they did more
weeding, but only filled 4 trash bags. I had already filled
all my trashcans. anyway, they are supposed to return today.
I have already been to church and sewed two jumpers, and
planted some hostas and impatiens. There is now a LOT of
bare dirt. of course, the weeds will return no doubt, but maybe
not the trees.Yesterday I got two flats of impatiens, 4 fern and
7 hostas...which look like there were 2 in each pot. Probably will
plant mostly where I can see the garden from my computer chair.

Good Morning from Oklahoma!!

The nurse just left that came for the Sister Study
examination. She was really nice. Drove from over
the other side of Edmond. She took LOTS of blood and
checked my vitals, weight, height, and measurements.
All this is sent back to Duke to use in the study.
Hope it helps someone along the way.

How is Ms Kara's broken foot doing??? Seems like there
was a song on Hee Haw (anyone remember that??) that said
"If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all".
Sometimes I feel like that should be the theme song at
your house.

Devin---have a wonderful time at camp!! Hope you are

talk about good looking.... I have 2
absolutely adorable boys working
(FINALLY) in my back yard. Jack came
to the front door this morning, and I told
him that I would get my hearing aids and meet
him in the back yard. "Kyle" was already working...
but it was not Kyle...I did a real double take looking
from one boy to another, and Jack said "twins!"
So I have Daniel instead of Kyle. They are really
doing a good job. so, I feel comfortable leaving,
and going to Bunco with the women's club.

hi there Devin

golly! that sure must have been scary for the
Bohannons!
well, Sara said the water was most likely
in the "real" house, and that it was supposed
to be more than the 1993 flood. She said she
is too old to clean up the mess, and would like
to just collect the insurance money and sell.
It is such a neat house...maybe they could just
collect the insurance and hire somebody to do
the clean up. of course, I guess everything except china
would have to be thrown away and replaced.

The Fourth of July Fair St. Louis which is on the
Arch grounds will be moved west this year...
of course, it might still be on the newly flooded riverfront.

when I just walked into my computer room, there
was a dumb squirrel IN my windowbox munching
on the flowers. I imagine he will return again. UGH!

Callum and Ruari got their hair cut yesterday, Callum got zig zags at the side of his, he's been desperate to get that done but his mammy said he'd have to wait until school was out, she gave in because it was the school disco tonight. Do you have a disco at school at the end of term? Guess you're ready for camp. Hope you have a wonderful time.

hi there Devin
busy day today..
heading to church to sew
then bridge
then choir practice.

Clarkesville is about an hour north of st. louis
on the Mississippi River which is trying to flood
the town. Sara & Dale ( where I play bridge today)
have a weekend home there, and it has been flooded several
times. The house is up a hill from the river, and
the living area is up on stilts, and I think maybe the
water got up there before, but the basement for sure gets
flooded. Other people with homes on their road are year-round
folks, so you know that is not fun. The Mayor of Clarkesville is
a friend of mine. She used to be the music teacher for Ladue
High School. So, she's been on the news asking for help with
sandbagging. sure makes it more personal when you know folks
affected by the floods.

Hello Devin !!! I haven't signed in for a long time but I just had to tell you that you are so handsome with your hair long or short. you may have heard that I lost my hair too. It has taken 8 months since my last chemo for my hair to get 2 1/2 inches long. I mouse it, or jel it and ruffle it and everyone likes it. Now I never would have cut it this short but they almost have me convinced to keep this short. All my girls give me a thumbs up. Of course they were shocked to see me the first time I did it. I have a feeling you can wear it anyway you want and the girls will love it so make yourself happy. Have the best time at camp.

hi there LYNN

my yahoo won't let me send you an e-mail, so
I just copied it. (thanks, Devin)


Fortunately, they are calling it a mild concussion.
The article in the paper said that after he was hit,
he raised his hand to the ump to show that he still had the
ball. In fact, the photo showed him sprawled flat over homeplate
with that ball clutched in his right hand. At first the Phillies
mananger was trying to say that the runner never got tagged out.
(but replay show that he was tagged) however, he never touched the
base. so, maybe that could be a new strategy: just sprawl over the
base so that the runner can't step on it.

Yadi is really well respected an loved.
He deserves a Gold Glove.
so did you hear about the incident at home plate about three weeks ago?
It was probably the only game I didn't get to see. Our pitcher threw
a strike, but the ump called it a ball. Yadi turned and asked where the
strike zone was, and all **#!* broke loose. ump and yadi yelling at each other, and yadi getting kicked out. so he took all of his gear off and left it on home plate. (I love that!) The poor bat boy didn't know when it was safe to go retrieve it. Yadi got a fine, but not a suspension. thank goodness.

sewed, and several more cut out ready for me.

still no boys, but got a phone call saying that
one would come today...but I think maybe he is
waiting for me to call and confirm. so I left
a message saying that I would stay home tomorrow
until they arrive. keeping my fingers crossed.

bought you something for Halloween today although it

hi there Devin
do you have Camp Hobe this week?

I just talked to Mrs. G.
She and Hudson went up to Chicago on
Friday for the weekend to see Kate's play.
She's the stage manager, and the scenery guy
didn't finish, so the Guthries ended up painting the
set. kate must have been a wreck before her parents
came to her rescue.

Lynn: Cincinatti Reds ( I think..but, it might have been the Phillies.)
did you see that Yadi Molina got knocked down and had to be taken out
in a neck brace on a stretcher. He was receiving a throw from first base,
had his back to the runner, who knocked him over, and maybe jerked his neck, and he hit his head hard on the ground. but, Yadi held on to the ball, and the guy was out. Very scarey. sure am praying that it isn't as serious as it looks.
Yadi and Pujols are two of my favorites, and now both will be on the DL

1 Peter 1:6-9 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

hi there Devin
No-Show Boys again!
and not today either
at least Kyle returns my phone calls..
but I couldn't understand when he said they
were coming...it is tough to plan things.

so this afternoon I sewed a jumper.
came home and watched the Cardinals WIN
(after losing 20-2 last night!!!!).
Went back to church and sewed another jumper.


not too exciting, huh?

I think it was an article in Prevention Magazine a few years ago...it basically said that there was going to have to be a whole new branch of medicine for cancer survivors who are now dealing with the effects of chemo. So you're not alone...by any stretch.........but oh how it breaks my heart that your family is dealing with this!!!!!!!!!
Know that I'm praying so at this end!
Revelation 7:16-17 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

between 8 and 9 to start cleaning
up the gardens. sure hope they make
it because I have to leave at 9:25 for another
funeral. I want to be sure they know hostas
and astiilbies and hydrangeas.
storms are in the forecast, too...'

Praying that the Lord would use these words to give you comfort and peace.
Psalms 23:1-6 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

the big 16 is tomorrow! rickey took the day off to spend the whole day w/me:) aryn & rickey are spending the night at friend's. of course the weather is calling for storms tomorrow so that may put a stop on our moonlight swim:( this is the second time it's been on friday the 13th. friday the 13th was my grandpa's lucky day he said because it was the day he met my nana.
everyone is doing good here:) hoping all gets better for your kiddos, it's no fun feeling yucky!

Hey Dev! Aren't we all happy school is out!!?? This seems to be the only time we all relax! I'm so sorry there are teacher's out there who still have issues with the ongoing medical problems associated with cancer and it's treatment...seems to me someone ought to teach her a thing or two.....
Hoping and praying the gastro dr. helps get Dev's tummy in check....I'am signing Dave out of school sometime in October after he gets his drivers license so he pursue his comedy and writing..school has been so difficult for him and at this point he is not interested in geometry or science etc..he said all he needs to know for what his passion in life is..he got back in elementary school....so, we shall see what develops. MRI this Friday, not one of our favorite things but a must. Thinking of you Alisa...will call now that things have calmed down. Hugs and lots of positive thoughts!

hi there Devin
heck...missed Mom's phone call
(again!).
well, I actually broke the serger,
not just a needle. so marge is taking it
to a repair shop. but that could take
weeks to fix or too much $$$. But, I told
her it didn't really matter how much it cost
because I need it fixed, and I really don't want
to buy a new one since I just use it for school projects.
so, I went to Marge's and picked up her old serger which
is being held together with tape...but it WORKS. so, that's good.

Psalms 130:1-8 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Just thinking of you guys today. Wow, sorry to read about all of the school mess. I am dreading the day Brock has to go to public school. He will be at a private Kindergarten next year. He will only have to go 3 days a week. We still have way too many doctor's appointments too. Praying you can get some much needed answers from the gastro doc. Brock's Endoscopy is Tuesday. I'm ready to get the details on this awful disease. I am so dreading it. But, if we can get through cancer, we can get through anything. Hang in there.

hi there Devin
good grief...another handbook rule that you
overlooked?
"Thou shalt not inconvience your teacher
by having doctors' appointments."

pleading the 5th on what I might want to say.

but, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.
I guess I used to be an inexperienced and
naive teacher, too. But, at least I think I would
have done some research on childhood cancer
if one of my students had been a cancer survivor.

I got two belated b-day presents today!
love both of them, but especially the plaque.
thank you muchly.

so, was supposed to be meeting Patty and Snooks
right now for a trip down to the central west end
to celebrated Snooks' sister's birthday. But, tornado
sirens have been hooting (or so I've been told) for
a couple of hours. so, we are all staying put.

Good Morning from Oklahoma!!

Devin---I hope the medicine is helping some. I will feel
a lot better when I hear the blood test results and the
gastro doc has checked you over good also. I will be
anxious to hear what the eye doctor has to say today.
I know you have better things to do with summer coming on
so quickly than sitting in doctor's offices. That can
be a real drag!! Hope today brings lots of positive
answers!!

I checked on Ms Hadley this morning. My heart just
aches for all of them. They are being so brave--like
so many other families that have touched many hearts
along the way while battling this beast......there are
just no words.

Just two more days of school----WOW----it is finally
almost done for the year!!! Now the two of you can
start making fun plans for Camp Hobe!!

Mom---my sweet, sweet little girl---hang in there!! I
know that EVERYTHING is so super hard right now.....my

called the # on a flyer I got
for yard service, and two
adorable teenagers started
their own business this summer.
They are going to take care of my
garden!!!!!! And, the price is RIGHT...
better than right! of course, I might not
be saying that when I found out how long
it takes. They both went to the high school that
the Guthries went to, and one even had a class

hi there Devin
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RANDY!!!

Good Shepherd Church came through with
LOTS of fabric and Snooks gave me $40 for
interfacing...got enough to last several years.
I think. I told the lady I wanted all that was on
the bolt, and by the time she finished measuring
it all, I was too embarassed to tell her that I didn't
need that much.

My Grandson graduates from high school today,
and when I got home, I had the greatest message
from him on my answering machine. Of course, you
know I'll save it (just like I have the FIRST phone call
from Alisa on my machine, too... and birthday wishes
from Devin and Kara, and Randy's message telling me I had an
unusual greeting (can't remember what it was though)

Lynn, I have that abbreviated verse on a wee plaque:
The Lord is my strength and my song.

and we are expecting big rain again tonight.

I do believe that I have met my Weed-Waterloo.
They are now official trees, and are taller than I.
so, guess I'll have to call in the Pros. but, boy,
did I feel great being able to bend over and pick up
sticks, etc. etc, w/o any sciatica pain. yippee.
went to school and sewed 2 more jumpers.
then came home and Mrs. G. called to say she
was going shopping for more flowers, and did I
want to go? sure! now, I have 2 more flats of flowers
to plant.

Romans 8:26-28 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Mary gave us garden stones that her Dad made

boy, you sure have had your

Been at school all morning getting ready for
the last day. IT took me 1 1/2 hours (!!!!!!!!!)
just to get all the dumb hoses attached to the
spigot in the
front of the building, and then wrapped around
the sides of the church to the Preschool entry.
There had to have been at
least ten heavy hoses. Can you imagine
designing a building w/o a hose connection
in the back????? Mrs. G. pulled all the weeds
out of the gardens by the play yard, and tilled them
Tomorrow
we are going to plant sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

I worked on the summer bulletin board. and I
will head back later this afternoon to work on the
photo albums. then tonight I'm going with a bunch
of the UMW ladies to another church (way south) for
dinner.

hi there Devin
Patty and Snooks gave me $40
for fabric. So, I headed to Wal-Mart
and spent $28.02 for 6 different fabrics,
and then when I got to Marge's she said
that JoAnn was having a sale ($1.99 a yard
for the same type of fabric, usually $5.99);
so we headed over there, and I bought another
six pieces of fabric for $12.20.... so with just
22¢ over 'budget', I can now sew TWELVE more
jumpers for the Nicaragua Mission!!! wow!

maybe today...you'll know "something".......
oh, by the way, I've been following Hilary's

Hi Ross Family,

I have been thinking about all of you! Hope that everything is going alright. I miss talking to you Alisa, so much. We did go to the doctor yesterday with Stephie, she cannot use her left arm without severe pain and it is around the left bicep and shoulder area. He did say that it was rare to have arthritis in that area of the body, but since she is also having vibrating sensations in her fingers too (without pain) he thought it best that she have an x-ray, so sent us to the place next door and told us to bring the films back immediately. So we did that and the technician circled something in her bicep area on them, but unfortunately we don't have the radiology report until today or tomorrow and the pediatrician can't really tell, thinks maybe inflammation, especially because the arm felt hot to him. Sooooooooo he was calling to rheumatology yesterday about it, and today we are scheduled to go see them anyway. Sheesh if it is not one thing it is another, I have no clue what is happening anymore, I don't think I even remember what day it is since they seem to be running into one another lately. Anyway, I am stressed to the max, but wanted you to know I have not forgotten about you! I hope that Devin and Kara are feeling ok, and poor Dev is on the mend. He never seems to be able to catch a break either, or is that he gets too many breaks? lol Don't mind my dumb humor! You're in my prayers and I will be in touch soon. Maybe you will have some good news soon!!!

couldn't believe it when you told me about david archuleta day yesterday...i was telling that to a guy sitting next to me at aryn's practice yesterday, he couldn't believe it either. i personally don't think he's worth getting excited over.
so aryn's party was a big success, what fun!!! wish kara could have been here to walk the runway w/all our little fashion models:)
of course now that the pool is done, the temperature drops again along w/all the storms that won't go away w/their rain!
hope you get your good news on monday, or maybe you might need to take matters in your own hands??
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!! ( in case i don't post tomorrow)

Well, I don't have a clue who that

if Utah is going to have an Idol with a

he should be

Mrs. G. got the zinnias planted in our Preschool
garden by the back door while I was doing My Thing

rain. ... which is good. except for my basement.

Alisa, I have a GREAT idea. Why don't you

hi there Devin
I'm exhausted... six hours ago I met
Mrs. G. at school to finish up the Pen Pals
May Mailings...then I headed to the post office.
and was told that each package would cost $1.30.
That would be great because last week I was told $1.47.
HOWEVER, I ALREADY HAD STAMPS ON 50+
ENVELOPES. I saw NO reason for the post office
to make a profit. so I decided to peel stamps off.
That was not so easy as peeled stamps like to roll up
.... so then I came home and glued the unused and unrolled-up
stamps on extra envelopes. Just finished, but still have to mail
about 20 more envelopes.
by the way, I think we already gave Mom what the other
Moms are getting, so I got her something else, :-)

Hi Devin,
How are you all doing? seems like ages since I've signed, although I did get Trudi to check in to see if there was any news. We had a great weekend away, with sunshine and rain, and lots of fun. Glad you and Kara did well in your performances. Trudi, the boys and me were at the theatre tonight, we went to see Joseph and his technicolour dream coat, it was a fabulous performance. After the show, we queued up to get the singers/actors autographs, the boys were really chuffed. The kids are still off school tomorrow, and Kayla will only have a half day on Wednesday as that's her 3 month check up at the hospital. Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi

my voice was sorta croaky this morning at MZ...

Good Shepherd...want to have as much
"voice" as possibe for Nightingales on Tuesday.
Good old Hudson and Gayle came over and fixed
my lawn mower. The air filter (is that what he called it?)
was filthy, and I actually had another one. so, then he
called son Mark to come cut my grass. Actually, Hudson
did the front yard and part of the back before Mark showed up.
Gayle used the blower on the patio. so things are looking
MUCH better. Still trying to find someone to tackle the

hi there Devin
just got back from the Zoo.
The Zoo did it's own catering.
This was all in the River's Edge...
past the hippos (who were NOT out).
a rather long walk.
They had a small salad bar.
then off to another area for a
Mashed Potato Bar. I thought that was
super. 2 or 3 real Bars. some appetizers
being passed. BUT, no desserts!!!!
We saw the 26 life-sized dinosaurs.
A fantastic exhibit for people who
like dinosaurs. however, I prefer to see
live animals at the Zoo.

Saw Steven and Jeff...so that made everything
worthwhile. oh, I forgot to say that we got to
touch a real dinosaur bone that was found in
North Dakota. and, a nice security guard gave us
a cart ride all the way back to our cars. that
was greatly appreciated.

so, guess whatever you're hoping for hasn't happened
yet.

Hi there Devin
sorta cool here today.
I've already delivered a basket of flowers to Mrs. G,
been to school, tried to start the lawn mower
(guess I'll have to have it serviced). tried to sweep
the dumb worms out of the porch (they are sorta stuck..
ugh), dried a load of towels from the wet basement, and planted
two planters.
The Strawberry Festival is at my church today. There was not
a sign-up for times to work, but they want workers...?????
I'll head over around lunch time for the barbeque, and a
a strawberry shortcake minus the strawberries. Tonight
is Marge's boss' fancy 50th birthday party. I think it is so nice
that they always include me in their big parties. had to get a
new outfit, and I found a great black skirt, and a new sequined
top and they were both on sale plus I had an additional % off
(Stein Mart), so I am pleased with that purchase.
I didn't go to the Gardens yesterday because it got rainy.
did get a haircut and pedicure with an hour and a half nap sitting
in the massage chair.
so, we won't hear anything until next week.
guess I won't try to talk to Mom before you know anything.

moved Pen Pal stuff out of kitchen, family room and

of the house is looking a little neater. Mrs. G. is going
to eventually help me reclaim my Pen Pal room in the

hi there Devin
well, what day do you consider the
end of the week? how about the school week?

I'm actually off til Monday. Mrs. G.'s mother is
in the hospital in a coma. So, it is good that she
won't have to be doing school stuff.

so, do we get to guess?
Do you need a passport?

I just opened the Sandwich cookbook,
and now I'm getting hungry. have to
hurry though because the Bishop is having
confirmation at my church tonight. Wonder
if he'll give the same sermon as he did on
Sunday.

mmmmmmmm I'm anxiously waiting to hear the good news.
Praying that everything will work out the way you want it to.
We went to the theatre last night to watch a mock up of the Eurovision Song Contest. We took Callum and Ruari and we didn't get home until 10.30pm. We had a great time, we got a badge of a country when we arrived and we bought the flag of that country, I got Iceland, Trudi got Italy, Ruari-Finland and Callum got Ireland. We had to shout and cheer when our country appeared and after all 10 countries had sung we had to use our mobile phones to text our vote. The boys didn't really understand that it was a farce, they thought it was the real thing, and that the songs just weren't very good, although the singers were all great. I'm surprised they got up OK for school this morning, mind you, we were nearly late going over as we were playing with the webkinz and I just happened to look at the clock, we had two minutes to get over there, all the other parents were coming out of the gate as we were running in, good job I didn't have Kayla and Kyle or we'd never have made it. I won't have them tomorrow either, Lesley's work is on strike.
Love and prayers from Scotland,Rosi

hi there Devin
what a hoot... I opened my Elvis watch this morning!!!!
Now, when the next Godchild or Grandchild gets married
my outfit will be complete (and I can make a toast with my
Elvis Dog Mug). Actually, I don't think I'm brave enough to
humiliate my grandchildren singing a toast as Elvis, especially
since none of their friends would know me.) Hmm... but, just
planning ahead,

WOW! You have had a series of events that to say the very least have been nerve wracking, emotionally and financially draining and then the school stuff on top of it all. Alisa I'm so sorry about your Dad too. My prayers are with you.I'm sure things with Kara will turn around..the whole pain thing can get a person down and it's not hard to lose that motivation along the way, but she's such a great kid and I know my Mike is a bit social in class...nothing bad like you said..just talking. Sounds like your renters need everything spelled out and paraphrased! Geez what was he thinking!? I hope this weekend brings some peace and don't worry I'll call back soon..miss out talks!

Hope today, Sat. is a better day for the Ross family. We are fixing to have warm weather they say, along with the blowing sand tomorrow. So guess we have had the last of winter weather. We really need rain as the humidity is 5%, so you see it is very dry here. Fire warnings are still in effect. No moisture since sometime around Christmas I think.

Planning on going to the Zoo this morning,
but rain is in the forecast, and the sky is grey.
I'd actually be quite happy staying at school.
Plus, the Zoo's Friends' Day is today, and the

everything is free, and the new Dinoroarus exhibit
opens today. So, I think it will be very crowded.

I went to Catawissa today for a Pen Pal's

feeling slightly wiped out now.
I also saw Eric in the hospital for a wee bit.

to talk nor for me to hear. He has been in ICU
for 10 days with a bad infection. He hopes to
be back home in a few days..........

Alisa I'm so glad they continue to check Dev's thyroid..lord knows how long Dave went with his hypothyroidism..he was always soooooooo tired..who knew that a teeny-tiny half a pill
(synthroid) could make him feel 'normal' again. As for the Keppra...ugh...Ashlei's neurologist put her on this for her migraines-apparently it has other uses...this drug made her feel so out of it! She could not follow what her professors were saying in class!! She took herself off of it. I wouldn't be surprised if this was causing your dad issues. So sorry Randy has been so darn sick! Hope he was able to rest over the weekend..is he taking any antibiotics? Does Dev take vitamins? Okay enough questions..hope you and Kara are well too. Tell Dev Dave and I say HI!!!!!

hi there Devin
stayed awake last night.
It was a good fundraiser, and I knew
about 20 folks, so that was nice.
It was a very elegant dinner.
One couple absorbs the cost of the
evening, so all $$ goes directly to the
Nicaragua Projects. pretty impressive since
there were over 300 folks there.
A group of us were the high bidders for another
Zoo Tour. Sure hope it is better than the one last year.
I want "Behind the Scenes" (like we did with the penguins and
giraffes). Last year we just saw what anybody could see.
Maybe we'll go to the Zoo Hospital.

They had a couple of pinatas for decorations, and
one was an adorble monkey.... and the chairman said
I could have it for Preschool.

well, that's about all I know.

need to look for that new lawn service mailer
that I got about 3 months ago. wish I could find

This passage always amazes me. Knowing that the Holy Ghost Himself is praying!
Romans 8:26-28 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

wow!!! good news:) i'm praying the positive that the thyroid problems just don't surface, you definately do not need any more negative health issues.
sorry to hear that t'shirt is doing so badly:( i know it's hard worrying about those that are far away.
rotten luck that you guys are still having all your sickness. we are all finally in good health this week, and fully recovered from the flu. just wish the cold rainy days would end.
rickey had a great birthday! he says he feels so old...imagine how old that made me feel *lol*.
we just got home from the orthodontist, and they've taken the chain that was pulling his eyetooth down off & put a wire through the bracket. we now have an unofficial day for the braces to come off, next march! (unless a bracket comes off or his progress gets off track)
talk to you soon,

I am so happy to hear that Devin remains in Remission, YES!!!! For some reason it seems like Thyroid disorders are common with autoimmune disorders and because Devin has Crohns, the family history of thyroid disease and had the Chemo I can understand why he would need to be tested so much!!! Stephanie continues to be monitored too because my mom and her mom both had Hashimotos Hypo-thyroid disease and my mom's aunt had Graves Hyperthyroid disease and they told us given that family history and with autoimmune diseases like Lupus her odds of having a thyroid disorder increases. I am very sorry that your Dad is doing so poorly, and I will keep him in my prayers, I know it has got to be tough especially being so far away. We also hope that Randy feels better soon, he sounds like he is feeling absolutely miserable!!! All of you remain in our prayers and we are thinking of you!!!! I tried calling you last night to check on everyone but I think you may have been out or busy it would seem with everything going on in your lives it is quite understandable! I have missed talking to you though. We are leaving early Saturday morning to take the girls to Disney World and then stay overnight in Orlando and come home sometime on Sunday, so that should be fun and interesting, they're all so excited! Call me if you get a chance Alisa!!!

It is my prayer that all of you will get through this flu thing and be done with it. Devin, I know now what it is like waiting to know if you are still in remission. I pray that everything came out better than ever. I am sorry that Grandpa Larry is not doing well. I haven't been in to sign for a long because I just am too tired to stay online and send messages. But I do check on you all and enjoy reading how things are going for all of you. God Bless all of you. Know that God is training you for something with all these things you are going through.

hi there Devin
We had a super Highland Games/ Tea Party Day.

but, now it is raining again.... and the wet basement
cycle has started AGAIN. yesterday when I was
driving home down the road that the school is on,
I saw a black SWAN waddling down the sidewalk.
I've never seen a swan out of water before...not so
graceful on land.
I guess that is an indication of how much rain we've
had. Wonder if a black swan has the same effect as
a black cat.......

Hi there Devin
holding very good thoughts for you today!

Yesterday after school I went to the post office
to mail one item. Proabably had a 10 minute
wait.. and it started to RAIN... really RAIN.
by the time I got home, the water had already
soaked thru all my towels etc. in the basement,
and the water had hit the Pen Pals Room Rug.
kept dragging stuff around to the washer for
rinse and spin and then the dryer. Then the
washer got excited and stopped... but finally started
although it was three feet away from its original spot.
We're talking about four hours of UNBELIEVABLE rain.
I figured I just couldn't keep up with it. Kept praying that
the rain would stop. and Bingo..it finally did all at once.
thank goodness. (not that I'm taking any prayer-credit)
So I'm on my third load of wash/dry this
morning. I haven't gotten the newspaper, but I know that
the poor folks who had their homes flooded are reflooded.

prayers and love from Mrs. Pam

"I Know that My Redeemer Lives"
by Samuel Medley, 1738-1799

1. I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever-living Head.

2. He lives triumphant from the grave,
He lives eternally to save,
He lives all-glorious in the sky,
He lives exalted there on high.

3. He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.

4. He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.

5. He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart.

6. He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend,
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.

7. He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death:
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He Iives to bring me safely there.

8. He lives, all glory to His name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same.
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"

First cookie and 2nd

When I was thinking about today this hymn came to mind immediately so I wanted to share it. Know that I'm praying!
1. There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.

2. The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.

3. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved to sin no more.

4. E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die.

5. When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy power to save.

oh no! you poor kids, those itchy chicken pox are absolutely NO fun!! rickey had them right before it was time to vaccinate. he had them BAD!!! fortunately aryn hasn't. i remember them from when i was a kid. my mom taped my mittens around my hands to keep me from scratching.
well, the kids oklahoma spring break trip was cut short. we are now home & the kids are in bed....with the flu!! was a very loooonnnggg trip home. i actually got pulled over for speeding between bathroom stops along the toll road. aryn called me crying wednesday night, and early thursday morning to come get her. i was just heading out the door when she called. rickey was complaining about oklahoma being so much warmer, maybe because his temp was 102.5. guess we can't plan a trip lately w/out someone getting sick. i felt so bad for them, they had been looking forward to spring break for a while...could have been worse though.
the highway by our house is under water. looks like a lake all around it, and they have pumps out trying to move the water elsewhere. we definately DO NOT NEED anymore rain for a little while.

So won't Devin still be contagious next week? The teacher doesn't care! My she sounds sympathetic! And I was happy the other day when gas was under $3.50! It was $3.49.9 but it was under $3.50!
So how did I do that yesterday? Here's what you missed!
This was the first verse I read during devotions this morning and just had to use it today. Continuing to pray!
Psalms 57:1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
And now for today's!
As we head into Good Friday, think of the Savior and what He did on this day. Praying!
Romans 5:6-8 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

I feel so terrible for all of you! I'm so sorry, chicken pox are definitely no fun at all, I wonder how come Devin got them even after a vaccine? very strange indeed. Kristen had them when she was 19 months old, and I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with Stephanie, I remember worrying if she were born early that she would be exposed! Everything thankfully worked out fine and I had them as a child so was already immune! None of the other girls have ever caught them (knocking on wood) and hopefully won't. I'm thinking that you probably did have chicken pox Alisa!!! My heart is definitely going out to you right now!!! Hope you and Kara feel better soon Devin!!! Thinking of you!!!

hi there Devin
whoops... Lynn's "v" didn't paste.
Am taking Margie to get new hearing aids this
morning. Will try to talk to Mom this afternoon.
Tonight is our Living Last Supper, and I have to get
to church a little after six. This is a new one for us:
Choir sings about 6 things inbetween the disciples (our vestry foks)
telling about themselves, foot washing, and communion.
I think it will be a good tradition. just wish we had one more
day to practice.

BTW, I was born on Palm Sunday (2 months premature)
... and I always remember
my mother saying that on Maundy Thursday, she was
"down on her knees" praying that I would live. Can't say I
ever remember seeing her down on her knees again.
(not that I saw her then)
But,
thankfully those prayers were answered.

sure hope sweet Kara is feeling better.

I've never seen so much snow melt as quickly

that was super of the Jazz to give $$$ to Camp Hobe.
I went to school for a couple of hours this morning to
get ready for tomorrow. and in a couple of hours, I'll
pick Margie up so she can run some errands. I haven't
taken her anywhere for a least three weeks.

I am officially well. no coughing for at least 3 or 4 days.

to use it again), a working sink and a working dishwasher.

officially it got up to 78 on Sunday.
Today is a major school Snow Day here.
However, nothing white yet. two weeks ago
when we had a Snow Day... it never materialized.
(the snow, that is; the day did)
sure hope that's the case today.
well, the sink is turning into a major project.
yesterday, Jeff wanted to use the hose to open
the drain. Hose was frozen. went to church and
got my 3 extra hoses. he connected them in the basement.
success. however, getting facet and other pipes off...
needs more tools (which he has at home.)
wonder if I have paper plates. it's going to be a few days
before the dishwasher is working.
at least I'm not "nervousing" anymore.

hi there Devin
well, the two big hardware stores were closed.
but, K-Mart was open. so, bought new faucets,
and other stuff that Jeff needed. RICE was the
culprit in the pipe under the sink. DON'T put
rice in the garbage disposal. actually, Jeff said
to run water and turn the disposal on before
adding food. but.... the pipe going outside
is clogged. so he has to come back today with a
snake (I think that's what it is called). The good thing
is that he got the drip to stop.
I definitely don't like being a homeowner in my old age!
my coping skills are sorta pitiful. dumb stomach-butterflies. ugh

no... decided to use the garbage disposal...don't use
it too often. well, it didn't work, and the drain didn't drain,
and the faucets have dripped for a year or more, and I was
worried about the sink overflowing. Hudson came and tried
drain cleaner. water backed up into the dishwasher, and down
the wall in the basement, and on the kitchen floor. SOOOO...
Jeff is supposed to come in an hour or so ...he'll unclog the pipe
and put in a new faucet. but, I wonder if any hardware store will be
open after five or six.

Isn't he something?

Then Gayle and I went to the post office because I couldn't
carry your box. it's the big one that Mom sent me.

No matter what life brings, no matter how dark it gets, we always have hope in the Lord! Praying!
Lamentations 3:21-26 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Ephesians 2:4-9 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Hi there Family
Happy Valentine's Day!

Mom has chicken pox??? ugh!

Yesterday Margie had a coffee for about
15 friends from church. There is no parking
on her street (can you imagine that?) so people
double up on driving. About 30 minutes after the
start of the party, Billie called to say that she had gone
to Betty's house. no one home. so, she left her car
on Betty's driveway, and decided to walk to Margie's.
she got lost. it was cold. she went to a stranger's house
who called Margie. 2 folks went and picked Billie up.
15 minutes later, Betty called to say she was sorry but she
was still waiting for Billie to pick her up. When told that
Billie had been at her house, and that the car was in her driveway,
she said there is NO car in my driveway. 2 folks go pick up
Betty and search the neighborhood for Billie's car which is in
a driveway a block from Betty's house. GOOD GRIEF, I don't think a
sit-com could come up with this story line.

Still been praying but wanted to share such special verses that remind us all that much more importantly the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for each of us perfectly according to His Will.
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

It's just the third time I've missed school becuz I was

I thought I was just have a sinus headache etc. yesterday.
But this morning after I got all dress for our Chinese New

But, it was moving into the carpet in the room

so, when I was piling the stuff up, I found all the

Hopefully, I will get organized, and have nice neat

Hi there Devin

yep...I bet that was a great Giants celebration!
yippee! I usually root for the underdog.

I think we got in the 70s yesterday!
that snowman has to be the tallest one I've
ever seen. what a super great job you all did!
where was maddie?

Devin, I forgot to tell you that I was watching
Family Feud last week, and the category was
a Word that starts with Q.... the lady said "cute"!!!!!
Guess she never even made it to a first round in a
spelling bee.

Hi Alisa,
Hope the new tenants are in and Randy don't have to look after two houses anymore.
Hi Devin,
Guess where Kayla went tonight? she went with a wee friend to an Irish Dance class. I just phoned to see how she got on, she's in bed, Lesley said she was a bit strange because she only knew the one girl and didn't know any of the steps, but the lady who teaches it took Kayla aside and showed her a few basic steps, Lesley said she did OK, so we'll have to see if she wants to go back again.
What kind of weekend did you have?

hi there Devin
so, I switched super bowl teams
half way thru because I read in the
paper that the Patriots might have
taken a secret video of the Rams the
day before they played us in the super bowl.
But, I really watched MASH, and went to bed before
the game was over, so I don't know who won.

Today is Mrs. G.'s birthday. I worked at
school all afternoon yesterday, but left a
big mess on both tables in our room. so,
will head up early to clean up. Her friend
Kathy, the retired art teacher from across the street,
will join us for lunch.
Hopefully, later I can head to the
post office with some Pen Pals mailings.

Revelation 21:1-4 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

hi there Devin
crazy weather!!!
I got all bundled up with
2 layers of pants, sweaters,
leg warmers, boots, etc,
and discovered that my sweet
neighbor must have shoveled
my driveway because it was all back!
AND it was almost spring-like. only
needed a sweater. not complaining though.
Took Margie to the mall for lunch....
California Pizza Kitchen. yummy.
2 churches today, then I'll head back to
MZ to get the valentines sorted, etc.

any Super Bowl plans?
I finally looked at the paper yesterday to see
who was playing. guess I'll cheer the Patriots
since a Godson lives in Boston.

Hi there Devin
Golly, I can't believe you forgot another Handbook Rule:
The School-by-Noon-on-Spelling-Bee-Day. That
was so thoughtful of your teacher to call to remind you.
You did terrific. It's always tough when you get an
unfamiliar word, and yet you seem to know all the words that
the other kids get.
So, we do have a Snow Day today. I don't think I will even
attempt to shovel the driveway, and I know for SURE that
I won't be shoveling the roof!!!! It is supposed to warm up
by Monday, and I figure I can stay put until Sunday for church,
and then hope I can get back up the driveway. Mrs. G. can always pick me up for school. Her birthday is Monday, and I went to the store
Wednesday night to get her cake and ice cream for snack time. Am
VERY glad I planned ahead.

Will try to call Mom this morning.

prayers and love from Mrs. Pam
- Friday, February 1, 2008 6:43 AM CST
Devin, you did great! Hope you're back to normal soon!
As for the snow...watching the news and up in the mountains they're telling people when to shovel their roofs. So see? Could be worse! In case you want to know it's when the snow is deeper than 2 feet. Just in case....
Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers!
Psalms 61:1-4 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

sorry that you were feeling so rotten & school made you show up just to participate! even though you didn't get a trophy i'm still impressed w/the how long you stayed in & that you had the strength to show up:)
the kids are out on an actual SNOW day here. they cancelled school because of an anticipated snow storm that blew in this morning. we're supposed to get 6" or more, but i don't think it'll get that deep. aryn is bummed because today was the last day of cheerleading camp before tomorrows half time show they perform in. rickey had a pizza party after school that he's missing too! hopefully all will be rescheduled.
aryn starts her electric guitar lessons tomorrow, she's very excited!!
aryn opened the box & was very excited. she wore her fancy 'cowgirl' boots to yesterday! she sends big thanks to you & kara!
guess this weather will be putting off the digging for the pool even more, once the ground is dug it's supposed to take a couple of weeks to finish. keep your fingers crossed.
get healthy:)

I wore my Easter bonnet instead
because it was spring in the morning.
no coat.... (afternoon sleet/hail and snow
flurries; good thing my car is an extra "closet")
The ladies in their 80s and 90s were sporting
some vintage hats, and they looked adorable.

Today is our BIG hoedown, rodeo and cookout.
The 'bunkhouse" looks so cute. got a phone call
yesterday afternoon that another grandma will be
joining us. will have to get to school early to squeeze
in another place setting. (sure hope I won't be the one
'donating' my s'mores to her!) We'll be feeding 25 cowpokes:
white castle cheeseburgers, beans, slaw & tater tots, and

hi there Devin
well, Cinnamon feels more comfortable
now, and slept in my bedroom on the other
bed. Just one church today...so she won't be alone
too long.
One of the stops for Margie was Aldi's so she
could get some yogurt. I told her I'd wait in the
car. well, one magazine later she comes out with
a cart full, and another person had a box full of
her stuff. My "pantry" has one can of soup, one
can of chili, and some cereal. Margie's 2nd "pantry"
is her garage, which also has a refrigerator. I imagine
she could live off her supplies for at least 6 months!!!

Hi Devin,
Before the kids got here this morning it was pouring with rain and there were the usual gales, then just when Kayla and Kyle came to the door we had hail stones, and a few minutes later when the boys arrived there was snow, you should have heard the shouts of glee coming from those kids, Kayla asked if she could build a snow man, but I had to tell her that she couldn't because a few minutes later guess what? yes, it was raining again, they were so fed up.
We played with some play dough instead, Kayla made playdough men. LOL We had to run over to school in that pouring rain.
Wish we could have some of your lovely snow.

to the grocery store today. exciting!
will get all the stuff we need for the
hoe down next week. Yesterday I tried
to see how long it would take marshmallows
on graham crackers to melt in my smaller oven
(for S'mores) but my oven is sick and won't
go over 250. but, that might be the safest way
to melt them anyway.... takes about 20 minutes.
Guess I'll have to take the dishes out of the other
oven, and see if that one works. not that I really use
either one, but I might need to eventually.

Hi there Devin
great job on the Big Bee!
This afternnon I decided to go
to the Art Museum after church
'cuz I sure don't feel like heading east on
week days with no highway. Well,
Clayton Road (where we had lunch
the last day you were here) has a very
loooooooong stretch where there are no
left turns into subdivisions. Gosh, am I
glad I don't live off of Clayton.

The art museum didn't have any new
exciting exhibit, so I just had a salad, and then
headed to the History Museum....and I now have
all my presents for Devin and Kara's birthdays.
nothing like
planning ahead. well, actually I have one other thing I
want to get for Kara, but at least I know what it is.
Devin, you are getting to the age where it's hard to know
what you would like....so, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

When is Willie's birthday? I know he or Casey shared a birthday with
GG and the other was Valentine's day. and when is Maddie's birthday?
Hope you answer...so I don't have to scroll thru Journal History.

have a great day off tomorrow!!!!

hi there devin
you won't believe how cute those hobby
horses turned out. i'll be sure (hopefully)
to remember to send you a photo.
Today I get to doggy-sit for Barkley,
a standard poodle. CC women's club is
having Bunko at Joan's house. she has two
dogs...one does NOT like guests, so either
her husband will be driving him around for
2 hours (he's done that before!!!!!!!) or else
their son is taking him. Barkley likes people,
but I guess he is too friendly, so I volunteered
to sit with him...and maybe I can finally read the
books I got at the library. I'm looking forward to
just relaxing, 'cuz tonight is Mt. Z. bridge.

This is a long section. Most of it is one sentence! I decided as long as I was quoting that much I might as well include one more sentence. Know that I'm here praying!
Ephesians 3:14-21 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Hi there Devin
that's quite a No List...
but it didn't say No Fun.... so guess
you'll just be thinking of other ways
to keep busy. BOY, am I impressed that
you won the geography bee.... usa or world?
I don't think I would have made it to the
second round.
sure am happy that Kara is back in school.
Did they do special activities for Spirit Week?
Today after Extended Day, I'm having my
picture taken for the church's directory.
Know what?....I'll probably look the same
as I did in the last directory: old and tired
with squinty eyes. Should I try cucumbers
on the eyelids? Only trouble is the smell
of cucumbers sorta makes me sick...
so that might not be the best expression

I did my Bible study, and have

Hi Devin,
Do you have pudding on Sunday, or do you have it everyday? We only have it on Sunday and one or other of the girls bring it, well, we haven't had any for the last couple of weeks, and today we ended up with about 5, Kayla was so happy when she arrived tonight telling us that she and her mammy had made "RIFLE" (trifle) and she was so proud when all the adults ate it, the boys don't like it they prefer spotted dick, which they had with custard. Kayla had both.
Hope this is a good week for you and Kara, oh and your mammy and daddy too.

how scary for the bohanons!!!!!!!
thankful that they are okay.
Mrs. G. came over yesterday, and we opened
our Christmas presents. Then I turned the tape
of Jessica the Hippo on, but I hadn't rewound it.
And you know who I saw on TV?..... ME!!! It was
an interview at my old school, probably 10 years ago.
I had already retaped 2 hours, and was just lucky that
"I" was still on it. Actually, I had forgotten all about it.
I looked sorta dorky!!!!

Found the bedspread, but nothing else. ???????

can't decide what to do today. The annual meeting is
at church today, but since I can't ever hear anything anybody
says, I'm not going to that. Should go to the service, but actually
all the epiphany hymns are new ones..... so I wouldn't be much
help there. can you tell I am talking myself into staying home today?

one collection of wee pigs
two bedspreads
all pillows and animal friends that sit on the chairs
in my living room and family room.
I sure am hoping that the two bedspreads are on the other
bed under the Christmas bedspread, but it is now piled high
with items that need to go in the closet, and I'm not sure I
feel like climbing the ladder today. ugh
left to un-decorate: one bathroom, two bedrooms and one tree.

I really think Tuesday's massage opened a can of worms. ugh

am excited about heading to the bookstore today to use my gift

Hi there Devin
well, I picked Margie up at 11:30
and we headed west to the Original Pancake House.
last week gayle and I went, and had a 40 minute wait,
but margie and I got right in. Then we went to Kirklands,
got a couple of sale items, headed to the Family Bookstore,
and I got a two dozen things for the Pen Pals. THEN we
went to Chesterfield Mall, so that we could fing bargains at
Sears. not much left, but I did get two sets of lights for outside.
SO then, we needed to go to the opposite end of the mall for
margie's hairspray. wellllllllll, with my sciatica acting up, we had
to stop and sit at every available chair. This is not a big mall. BUT,
with all my stopping and sitting, all of a sudden it was 6 o'clock,
and I had choir practice at 7. I made it with 5 minutes to spare.

right now...no pain. so hopefully, the rest of the day will be that
way, too, because this is our long day.

We can't use umbrella's in these gales. Can you imagine how wet we'd be if we lived more than 2 minutes away from the school?

Am sharing two verses today. The second verse is God's own interpretation of the first verse. When dealing with all the "floods" and vehement winds beating upon us, there is only One Sure Foundation. Praying so as you face these "floods."
Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

hi there Devin
so, how was school yesterday?
Our temp was in the 70s!!!!!!!!
but, we didn't go outside because sweet little
Josie fell on Christmas day and broke her arm
above the elbow, and she has 3 pins. so, there
wouldn't be anything for her to do, and when the
kids are playing nicely inside, I prefer to let them
continue.
So, I was getting ready to go to bed, and I read in
the newspaper that a cold front and rain were coming in
today. Went out, and took down (in the dark) all my
Christmas lights, and put the Christmas things on the
porch away. Good thing. It rained and all night with
LOTS of lightening.
Figure I'd catch up with the Pen Pals today, and get family
room undecorated except for the tree. Wonder where I put
all the pillows.... that leaves: Kitchen (probably the most stuff),
hall, 2 bedrooms, and one bathroom. hmmm... maybe I haven't
done too much after all. ugh

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Hi Devin
Did you sing nicely? Callum and Kayla both love to sing, but we've to coax the other two.
Took down all our Christmas decorations today. We had to bring our inflatable snow globe inside to dry, huh.

Hi there Devin
Happy Epiphany!
Today is my grandson's 18th birthday!!!

I learned a good lesson this morning: do not
try to go down the basement stairs in socks.
Fortunately I caught myself, and was able to turn
around. just left the stuff on the kitchen floor.

Think I will head to Goodwill today to look for
cowboy shirts. Our room looks great, but we
haven't really planned our activites except that
we will paint horses tomorrow. should be funny.
perhaps, I should say fun.

prayers and love from Mrs. Pam

Praying right now!
Psalms 121:1-8 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Hi Devin.
What are you singing at Church tomorrow? I don't think we'll be going, Kenny is still loaded with the cold, and now Trudi has it too, we don't want to spread those germs around especially at this time of year with the weather so bad, gales and rain and bitterly cold. YUK

hi there Devin
right now I sound like the Big Bad Wolf:
I'm just a-huffing and a-puffing!
Put all the Living Room Christmas things
away. But, I sorta overdid it, and that was really
stupid because we didn't finish at school yesterday,
and we're heading back this morning. One of Mrs. G.'s
friends wanted to have lunch at Dewey's Pizza yesterday in Kirkwood.
I'd never been there (nor had I ever heard of it.) QUITE good. It's a
chain. do you have one out there? Well, we did a couple of hours of
shopping, too, and Gayle got a $10 ticket for parking longer
than 2 hours. I think the chamber of commerce should be told that
that policy isn't too condusive for having lunch and shopping. I'll add
that to my list of letters that I keep thinking about writing. hmmm....

figure I'll talk to Mom maybe on Tuesday after you guys head back to school... assuming that you do.

Know that I'm still here praying!
Isaiah 49:13-16a Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands...

hi there Devin
mrs. g. is due here shortly.
she'll help me hang the heavy pictures
back up and take the sunflower seed out of
the trunk. then we'll head to school to get our
Cowboy stuff up. I finally found some cowboy items.
guess, they are going out of style. yesterday I saw
a "real" cowboy when I was having dinner. I felt like
asking him to come to school for a Show & Tell.

one present left.... am saving it for a while.

It is supposed to be in the 60s this weekend.
Maybe 40s today. that's a 40 degree change in
one week. great for taking down outside Christmas lights!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ROSS FAMILY

Sorry I couldn't come by earlier, we had visitors staying and they only left yesterday. I only sat down today and had a good look at all my Christmas presents. Thank you so much for all the great scrap-booking stuff, I'm looking forward to using it, also the book, I think it's the same one that you got Mrs Pam, I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I'll be starting very soon, once I get the house work and all the washing done. We had a flutter of snow today, it didn't last long though, I don't know why it doesn't stay it's so cold and with the wind it feels even colder. BRRRR
Hope everyone is well.

Continuing to pray!
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Everything okay there?
And yup, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day services! Been really busy printing up everything for all the services!
Still praying!
Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Hi there Devin
looks like Lynn's church has a New Year's service.
My church used to, and I miss that. Seems logical
to start the new year in prayer.

Well, today is the day that St. Louis has been dreading.
Highway 40 (portions) will be closed for 3 years. ugh.
it won't bother me too much, I don't think. however, those
100s of 1000s cars will have to be on some road. today,
I'm playing bridge in Clayton, so we'll have to see how much
longer it takes for me to get home.

I started putting a few Christmas things away today. The
dining room is now winter...all my snowmen have assembled
there. I just need to set small goals for each day. "I think I can,
I think I can...."
are you off 'til the 7th? we are.

Looking forward to some hot cocoa tonight. :-)

These verses were part of my husband's sermon text today. This is a really good passage and speaks a lot to us all as we face a new year. Praying!
Lamentations 3:21-26 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Hi there Devin
HAPPY NEW YEAR, ROSSES!
yesterday was Jan's birthday.
So both of us had a bag full of
presents for 2006 AND 2007 Christmas and
birthdays...and it was fun exchanging
them. Then I went to Carolyn's house
to drop off presents for my Godson's baby.
And was surprised to see Sarah's 18 month old
baby (from California; parents in Wales for a wedding)
for the first time.
She looks
EXACTLY like Sarah. Carolyn and Ernie became grandparents
for the first time with that baby, and then their 2 sons
became daddies within the last 6 months. So, they had all 3 grandchildren
here for Christmas, and all three were baptised in their
living room, and so were two of the moms! Wow! they also
passed the flu around while they were here, so the baptism
was just family...but, I got to see the video. The minister who
performed the baptism was the Youth minister when the dads
were teenagers... he also went to Indianapolis and performed
the wedding for Swope. sorta neat, I thought.

As the new year begins everyone's thinking about time and counting it down. So I wanted to share THE section of Scripture dealing with time. Praying as one year ends and a new one begins. Whatever this new year holds, the Lord WILL be with you!
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
