Well, everyone is now running around like chickens with their heads cut off about this "swine flu." We understand that is can be serious for some, but not for every single person on earth! For crying out loud, the media makes such a huge deal out of everything anymore. We don't take the local newspaper and, for now, that's a good thing. We are spared the experience of having to read about the same thing day after day. Reading/Hearing about the big "O" everyday and what he's screwing up so that it makes one cringe is enough without all the other hysteria.

We are planning a trip to Boise at the end of the month for Flower's Confirmation. We can't wait to see them again. Then if all goes well, we'll go back to Abu Dhabi in September or October for a few weeks. We are going to try to stop (going over or coming back) to see Justine in England where she'll be stationed at her new Air Force Base in Croughton. She will be there for about two years so that will give us time to go see her more than once! On one of those trips, we'll do the whole British Isles tours, etc. Can't wait to get to Ireland!

I'm getting my sewing out - AGAIN! This time I have a lot to do and to finish projects that are at least 10 years old! One person has waited for a very long time to get their quilt so maybe this will be "the" year...don't hold your breath, but I am going to try!

Well, time to go play scrabble with Kyle. I'm catching up on his winning streak and am only three games down thus far. It's great to have someone to play scrabble with. I love table games and Bill hates them, so unless I have someone who likes playing as much as I do, the game never gets used unless Kyle is here!! haha

Until later...
