What a Week . . .

This last week has been a real depressing time: Tuesday, My good friend, Ron Elmore's wife passed away. Wednesday, My cousin Faith Copeland had surgery for breast cancer. Friday, things finally started looking up a little. The surgery was (or appears to have been) totally successful! I went to Cindi's again to celebrate Lyric's 4th birthday on saturday. She was treated to a haircut and pedicure at Sweet and Sassy salon. The five of us, Sarah, Lyric, Cindi, Mike and I all went to Outback for a fantastic dinner, complete with birthday cake and present opening! She had a wonderful time, as we all did! Hopefully, this week will be a little less stressfull!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT ! ! !

That last blog - at the point where I quit, This thing redialed the internet - I was sure I had totally lost what I had written. However, I came back to make one more attempt and to my absolute surprise it had posted every word I had typed!
I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead!

2nd attempt

I just tryed to write a blog and lost connection again (or STILL)
I went to Midwest Old Settlers and Threshers Reunion for a bit thursday morning: My primary goal I achieved, I picked up a "T" shirt with "Midwest Central Railroad" and a picture of their #6 locomotive (steam - narrow guage) "Mt. Pleasant Iowa" on it for Lyric. I couldn't find out for sure what size she needed so I bought one size bigger than I thought was right. My thought was
if it is too big - she'll grow into it, But if it's too small it would be pretty hard to shrink her!
Then Friday I went to Mike and Cindi's and assisted them in putting their entertainment center together. Sat evening we went to "Carson's" for dinner. (A fantastic b-b-que restraunt) During out dinner Cindi told me how Caleb had loved their sauce and she had intended to get some for him to take home, then during their conversations it had slipped her mind. She picked up a bottle sat. and I got it delivered to him today.
